"you're digging deep.. i don't know how to answer that", "we're 90% dependant on the audience" "i'd have been a labourer / engine driver" - absolutely NO illusions about who they are and why it's funny. brilliant. we could do with more like them. and so different from the act. they must have been a real pleasure to have had a drink with... much missed!
Two sensational comedians who remained humble throughout their lives despite being the biggest act in the U.K. R.I.P. Eric, Ernie and Eddie, and thank you for all the wonderful entertainment and never ending laughs 🙏🏻
Best friends from the age of 14, to Eric`s death. An excellent, delightful, insightful interview of its type, due both to the lads being so real, grounded, honest and self aware, and to the very good interviewer, New Zealander Michael Dean.
They say they need the reaction by the audience, to their comedy, to know how good they are going. Seinfeld speaks in interview about not monitoring the audiences reactions, at all, to know how good he is. Big difference! Big difference between a brilliant comedy duo, and a stand up comedian by himself.
"It's all just surface." He really meant that, completely and innocently missing the fact that their comedy reflected a much deeper need in their audience. Benny Hill was just surface...
Benny Hill, as other Brits have told me changed his comedy to become more appealing to American audiences. That involved taking out most of the substance.
Not sure if it was for Line Up, but definitely BBC. Michael Dean was a New Zealander who worked on Line Up along with other talented folk, eg Tony Bilbow, Joan Bakewell and Philip Jenkinson; an unmissable late night treat.

Classic interview of 2 legends. Their chemistry leaps off the screen.
Loved their shows.
'Mike and Bernie Winters'. Sick burn, Eric.
Just delightful.

IRREPLACEABLE......PRICELESS
Was this from UK tv or New Zealand television would like to know please
It was, I think, made for BBC2’s Late Night Line-Up, and was broadcast in November 1966.

2 years before his first heart attack
I love how Eric keeps chewing that gum and resting his arm around Ernie's neck. so natural and uninhibited. almost childish.
So pimpish and gay!
@@javiergilvidal1558 If that’s what you want to see. The rest of us see brotherly love, and no, we’re not being naive.
Eric can't seem to finish his dinner..
I’ve only ever found Eric funny but he needs a straight man for it to work but I could never see Ernie as funny on his own
woooshhh....
