It's 100 years today since Ernie Wise was born.

Half of Morecambe & Wise, the legendary comedy double act. Legendary in the UK at any rate.

Sadly, they're both long gone from this world - Eric in 1984, Ernie in 1999.

Eric’s centenary is this coming May.

And they might never have been – Ernie came close to ending the partnership in 1950.

A few rows of audience heads are in front.

When I’ve had a rough day and need a laugh, this one never fails. The classic Swedish Chemist Shop sketch from “Not The Nine O’Clock News.”
And yes, it is Rowan Atkinson (Mr. Bean) if you’re not familiar with the show!

Yes, it is wonderful to have Alan Partridge back - from Saudi Arabia (where else!).

Who better to take a 'sensitive' look at mental health, the social issue of our age?

Also great to see Sidekick Simon (a sidekick no more!) and Lynn, Alan's ever faithful PA.

And North Norfolk Digital is still going strong!

My one gripe with this article: in no way was This Time With Alan Partridge (his previous TV outing) 'underwhelming'. Fabulous more like.

The Little Book of Calm. Picked it up and a big part of me imagined standing in Bernard Black's ( Dylan Moran) bookstore when Manny (Bill Bailey) walks in and one of Britain's best quirky comedy shows started. #uk #books #ukcomedy

Enjoying the new ‘Mitchell and Webb are Not Helping’ series. The airport security bit was brilliant 😂

Also, give the new series of ‘Mandy’ a watch - Diane Morgan at her best. Bonkers.

In looking for a particular #GregDavies quote I found this absolute gem I somehow had missed. This is one of my favourite songs now! Amazing.

‘My Nan, Your Nan’ at the Royal Variety Performance in front of Prince Harry 😂

I especially love the bit where Greg cracks up!

I came across this long forgotten sketch by accident today, and love this brilliant avant garde freeform jazz parody from “The Fast Show”. The way the host’s expression suddenly changes from enthusiasm to confused despair never fails to get me, and the final trumpeting scene is fabulous!

The best standing joke from “The Fast Show”, and one that never fails to get me laughing. Filmed in my local area too!
Johnny… the elderly, gentle painter who suffers an existential crisis at the mention of the word “black.”

A new season of the fabulous "Taskmaster" started last week. @TheAtlantic's David Sims explains why he thought he'd hate it, but is now a big fan. "Watching how they go about keeping a basketball on a treadmill without touching it is as much part of the joy as hearing the jokes they tell about it afterward," he explains. Story may be paywalled — watch the video of the basketball task at the second link. Are you a fan of "Taskmaster?" Tell us in the comments which is your favorite season (we love season 5: Aisling, Bob, Mark, Nish, Sally).
