Morecambe & Wise: auditioning for the BBC

The BBC is celebrating its centenary. Among the most famous of BBC performers is the double act Morecambe and Wise. Eric Morecambe’s daughter Gail and son Gary spoke to the Today programme’s Garry Richardson, who started his BBC career in the corporation’s Written Archives department. The Archive holds an amazing collection of BBC papers – among the papers Garry found the letters written by the double act to the BBC, and the BBC’s replies. (Image, Morecombe and Wise, Credit, BBC)
