Press clippings

Cannon and Ball (LWT) are the double act Eric Morecambe said was likeliest to succeed him. They have a way of getting simultaneously furious so that, like one of those little balls attached to a bat by elastic, you don't know who's attacking whom.

Nancy Banks-Smith, The Guardian, 5th December 1983
