Morecambe and Wise answering these kids’ questions is a nostalgic delight
We’re grateful to the always followable BBC Archive for sharing this clip from a children’s show we confess we don’t remember, an interview series with the brilliant Valerie Singleton.
And who better to have as her first guests than Eric Morecambe and Ernie Wise. The whole thing is wonderful but it really warms up around the three-and-a-half minute mark when the pair start answering questions.

Love it.
You knew you were in safe hands when it was Auntie Val doing the interviewing.

@WhenIsBirths I’m convinced that part of Ant and Dec’s popularity is that subliminally they remind people of Eric and Ernie

Don’t see so many pipes on CBBC these days.
