To mark the 25th anniversary of Eric Morecambe's death, here is the first book to cover Eric's whole life and untimely death, including unseen family phootgraphs and new insights by Eric's son Gary Morecambe. Eric Morecambe and Ernie Wise are to this day still regarded as Britain's most successful and best loved comedy duo, and their television shows form the 1970s and 1980s are undoubtedly their finest work. For the first time, Eric Morecambe's whole life, from his earliest days in his hometown of Morecambe right up to his death in Gloucestershire in 1984 are appraised by his son Gary. This definitive book on Eric features interveiws with those who knew and loved him, including his wife Joan, Robbie Corbett, Hamish McColl who wrote and started in The Play What I Wrote, and a foreword by Judi dench. "You'll miss me when I'm gone" was Eric's oft repeated paintive remark when he'd been annoying the Morecambe family with his gags. The irony is that, 25 years after his death, the veiwing nation still misses Eric Morecameb.

Peter Sellers was undoubtedly one of Britain's most outstanding comic actors, and will be best remembered for Kubrick's Dr Strangelove and of course, Inspector Clouseau in the long-running Pink Panther films. Sellers on Sellers offers a unique perspective on Peter Sellers as his friends, family, and associates (including Kenneth Brannagh, Fiona Fullerton and Denis Norden) pool together their funniest or most pronounced memories of him and create an intimate and original portrait of a man who was less than perfect, but always entertaining. Central to the book is Michael Seller's highly personal reflections on his father and rare family photographs, providing a unique insight that only a direct family member can provide.

SPHERE

For more than 40 years, Eric Morecambe and Ernie Wise epitomized the best of British comedy. Beginning their iconic partnership in 1941, they graced stages all over the UK, and moved from radio to TV screen, where they became a staple for family audiences with their famous star-studded Christmas shows, garnering viewing figures as high as 23 million. Many of their routines and sketches are now ingrained on the British memory—from dance routines with the likes of Angela Rippon and Shirley Bassey, to ironic moments in the "plays what Ernie wrote" that featured the likes of Vanessa Redgrave, Penelope Keith, and Peter Cushing, and celebrated encounters with great performers from all corners of the arts, such as Andre Previn. The term "comic genius" can be overused, but never when describing these two. Morecambe & Wise left a legacy that has influenced successive generations from Ben Elton to Miranda Hart, and this delightful book brings their story to life through the inclusion of 20 facsimile documents, many of which have never been seen before.
