Hi

Many years ago Morcambe and Wise did a sketch on BBC TV called
Breakfast. It was M&W making breakfast, coreographed to the music from
the stripper.

I need to find a still (or an MPEG) of that sketch. The particular
part I need is when Eric and Ernie turn to the camera each with half a
grapefruit in their hand. Which they place to their mouths and squeeze
to the sound of the music.

I have look high and low for this but cannot find anything anywhere
despite this being one of the most well known sketches they ever did.

CAm you help me??

Hi grahamr

Is a streaming RealPlayer version of this sketch sufficient, or do you
need something which can be downloaded and saved permanently on your
computer?

I dont have access to get streaming realplayer files. Our firewall prevents it

so something i can save to my pc would be better please.

in fact a still would perfect as an mpeg may not give me the quality I require

Hi grahamr

As you stated in your clarification that you can't view streaming
Realplayer files, I'm posting this merely as a comment. The BBC have a
(fairly low-quality) clip from this sketch on their website at:
http://www.bbc.co.uk/cult/ilove/tv/morecambe_wise/v6.shtml

I believe that the copyright to the Morecambe & Wise shows is still
owned by the Beeb and their lawyers can be fairly vigorous in
enforcing the (mis)use of their content online (for example, the
Teletubbies situation of a few years back:
http://www.users.globalnet.co.uk/~mcstev/explan.htm). For this reason
at least I believe it's going to be difficult to find a still or movie
clip in the format you require.

Perhaps your best bet might be to buy one of the videos or DVDs with
this sketch on and do your own screen-grab from there. I appreciate
this isn't the best, easiest, or cheapest solution, but it's one which
should guarantee you that immortal picture of Eric and Ernie with the
grapefruit in front of their mouths! One video/DVD which definitely
has this sketch on is from BBC Publications, "The Very Best of
Morecambe & Wise":

I hope this helps, and thanks for bringing me sunshine while I
researched this for you!
