** 1983 was to be the duo's final festive offering was billed once again as ''Eric & Ernie's Xmas Show'' and some re-hashed material from earlier BBC shows despite Eddie Braben's continued input. The most notable re-used ideas were the Harpenden Hot-Shots and the final play "What Ern Wrote" was entitled ''The Planter's Wife'' and featured Nanette Newman in the titular role. This sketch was set in Malaysia with the musical ending performed by puppets. The sketch that had aired originally in the 1976 seasonal show with Elton John ("sounds like an exit on the motorway...") was thinly re-worked here with Peter Skellern in the same role. A song-and-dance number of "Swinging Down the Lane" remade from their ATV days closes the proceedings but there's no signature tune to be heard. Following the end of the show, Thames continuity announcer Philip Elsmore appears to introduce the next programme which is to feature Des O'Connor, the duo appear behind Elsmore to make derogatory remarks about the star in a long-standing in-joke; this would be the duo's final appearance as Morecambe died the following year.

* SurrealHumour: Not a major focus of their work but glimpses of it often showed up. For example, one episode began with Ernie asking for his violin, being handed a saxophone, nodding thanks and then being about to 'play' it with a violin-bow before being interrupted by Eric.
** This part of their humour was a major influence on [[Series/TheSmellOfReevesAndMortimer Reeves and Mortimer]].

** 1977 saw the final BBC Christmas Show attract audience figures of 27.5 million, a record for the show, although it was beaten in the ratings by ''The Mike Yarwood Show'' earlier in the evening schedule: this was also the first time that Christian names were used in the opening titles. The following opening sequence features a parody of ''Series/StarskyAndHutch'', in which the comics star as 'Starkers' and 'Krutch', driving through the streets in a red Mini Clubman emblazoned with the same white vector stripe as seen on the Ford Torino. Boasting the longest guest list of all their shows, stars from the casts of ''Series/DadsArmy'' (although Creator/CliveDunn, Arnold Ridley, & Creator/IanLavender are not present and Creator/JamesBeck had died in 1973) and ''Series/TheGoodLife'' appeared, as did Music/EltonJohn and Angharad Rees (who performed "Baby, It's Cold Outside"). A host of news presenters took part in the "There Is Nothing Like A Dame" routine as listed above. Angela Rippon also made an appearance, which had been intended as a surprise. When news leaked of her contribution days before Christmas, the BBC began an investigation into how the leak occurred and contemporary press reports claimed that staff were fired from the corporation over the leak.

** In the 1977 Christmas Special, set on an old Navy ship, they had a cameo from Arthur Lowe and most of the ''Series/DadsArmy'' cast. As Lowe's character leaves (after suffering a mutiny), he looks at Eric and says he'll see him hang.

* ThePerfectionist: Both of them, but Morecambe was notorious for it, especially at the peak of their popularity in the 70s. All those supposed ad-libs, {{aside glance}}s, even the corpsing? All meticulously rehearsed. Morecambe himself was not the only one to think that his obsession with perfection had something to do with his heart trouble.

** There were two semi-regular OnceAnEpisode [[invoked]][[BigLippedAlligatorMoment Big Lipped Alligator Moments]]: harmonica player Arthur Tolcher would randomly rush on and start to play, only for Eric or Ernie to kindly brush him off with 'Not now, Arthur'; and at the end of many episodes, the "[[NoNameGiven Lady who comes down at the end]]" (played by Janet Webb) appears to deliver a monologue about ''her'' little show, while Eric and Ernie smile and nod along.

* SpecialGuest: One every episode, several in the Christmas specials--not counting the more numerous music spot guest singers/bands.
** Producer John Ammonds was famous for being able to get ''anyone'' as a guest star, no matter how big a star they were or how 'refined' their usual work was; writer Eddie Braben was half convinced he had a collection of blackmail photographs on the entire membership of Equity. His only failure was when he couldn't get Prince Charles, and even then apparently Charles was willing but the Palace vetoed it as too risky.

A legendary British comic double act, both of whom got [=OBEs=]. Consisted of Eric Morecambe (John Eric Bartholomew, 14 May 1926 – 28 May 1984), the dark-haired "funny man"; and Ernie Wise (Ernest Wiseman, 27 November 1925 – 21 March 1999), the blond-haired "{{straight man}}". They met as teenagers and learned their skills as a {{Vaudeville}} double-act during the 1940s and 50s, so by the time they got to be on TV, they were primed for success -- but didn't get it. Their first TV show ''[[StarDerailingRole Running Wild]]'' (1954) suffered from what in hindsight was EarlyInstalmentWeirdness, and an early newspaper gag went "[[TakeThat Definition of TV: the box in which they buried Morecambe & Wise]]". Morecambe, the more anxiety-ridden of the two, carried the cutting in his wallet for the rest of his life, as a sort of portable MotivationalLie.

Full of classic sketches and celebrity guests, and with the central dynamic between the duo brilliantly retooled by Braben, it made them more popular than ever before. A running gag was that Ernie considered himself a talented playwright and would ask the guests to take roles in the latest "play what I wrote". This allowed them to do spoofs of famous plays and films, playing Eric and/or Ernie's LargeHam tendencies for maximum funny. [[ChristmasSpecial Christmas editions]] of the show earned the highest viewing figures in British TV history up to that point: ''20 million'' people are estimated to have watched their 1977 Christmas special, making it in turn an integral part of UsefulNotes/AVeryBritishChristmas. The story goes that the National Grid had to prepare in advance for almost everyone in Britain [[BritsLoveTea putting on the kettle]] at the same time after it finished. The show's success made the duo into national treasures.
