Further details
Eric and Ernie first worked in colour on American television and were invited to perform on a major TV special alongside stars like Bing Crosby and Bob Hope. Back in Britain, and ill-fated endeavour to record a series designed for both British and American audiences is disappointing end to their time at ATV, and drives them into the waiting arms of the BBC where they go on to deliver the best work of their careers.
