Anecdotes
The various pressures and demands of fame had caused a rift between the two stars very early into the filming of this series, with the two having separate dressing rooms and rarely speaking when not performing.

In their joint 2001 autobiography "Rock On, Tommy!", Tommy Cannon stated that they had begun to heal the rift in 1985, and at that point hadn't spoken directly to one another for six years.

Correcting welshnick...

Welshnick in his review get's a few things wrong...

Morecambe & Wise left the BBC after the 1977 Christmas special and were with ITV until Eric's early death.

Tommy & Bobby made 8 series (and specials) of The Cannon & Ball show between 1979 & 1988 which is a lot longer than a couple of years (they were such big stars in the early '80's that they even made the big screen with 'The Boy's in blue' - which I have a soft spot for even though it's not great). The film was a remake of 'Ask A Policeman' starring Will Hay.

As an aside Sid Green's era of the show saw a lot of the sketches he'd written for Morecambe and Wise in the '60's were reworked...In the pre-video days this was easier to do...Now both are out on DVD it makes comparisons easier.

After this they did a sitcom and game show (neither of which really worked).

After a rocky period both men found the lord and over the last few years have regained their position of a much loved act, If you get a chance to see then live do.
