Mike Winters dies aged 82
Mike Winters, one half of legendary 1960s comedy duo Mike and Bernie Winters, has died at the age of 82.
British Comedy Guide, 26th August 2013This might look like yet another excuse to wallow in light entertainment's golden era and be reminded once again of Eric & Ernie, Frankie Howerd et al. But while a dire clip of Max Miller may make you wonder quite how golden this era actually was, this is largely wonderful stuff, rich with anecdotes told by veteran showbiz raconteurs. Variety didn't just involve comedy, but jugglers, musicians, hoofers, and acts who spent their entire careers doing just one turn. Among those recalling the high jinks and dismal lodgings of those bygone days are Ken Dodd, Val Doonican, Roy Hudd and Mike Winters.
David Stubbs, The Guardian, 28th February 2011The Mike and Bernie Show (Thames) was written by a Mr Merriman, as misleading a name as I have come across recently.
