Press clippings

Ernie's plans and pretensions are constantly interrupted, denigrated, and sabotaged by Eric - and yet, of course, they depend upon each other. Like the Steptoes, and Hancock and James, this means that most of the humour is in straight dialogue and makes excellent radio.

Val Arnold-Forster, The Guardian, 1st February 1975
