The Prelude of Mr Preview: How André Previn won over Morecambe & Wise - Comedy Chronicles - British Comedy Guide We've all seen André Previn on the 1971 Morecambe & Wise Christmas special countless times. The recorded Grieg sketch, however, is but the tip of the iceberg.

Andre Previn was #BOTD. He was fondly referred to as Mr Preview after his comedic debut on the Morecambe and Wise show. An insightful piece was later written by Graham McCann

“I wrote a line once,Eric said it was so right. He said it was absolutely spot on.They were doing a stand up and Ernie had to go off quickly for a prop and Eric said “Don’t be long, when you’re not here I feel a cold draught all down one side.”

How Eddie convinced Eric & Ernie to do the bed sketch

Eddie could write a sketch with no words and Eric & Ernie would make it a classic comedy moment, recreated by parents even today. #eddiebraben #morecambeandwise
