The show sees Eric and Ernie perform some of their best-loved comedy sketches in front of a live audience at Fairfield Halls, Croydon.

Accompanied by an orchestra, the pair close the show - which was organised by their longtime agent Billy Marsh and has rarely been seen in its entirety - with a rendition of 'Bring Me Sunshine'.

In 2012, Morecambe and Wise's breakfast routine was voted as the duo's 'most iconic' sketch.

Morecambe & Wise Live! airs on Saturday, April 12 at 10.10pm on Channel 5.
