[edit] Americans unfamiliar?

I take great exception to the comment that Americans are unfamiliar with Morecombe and Wise. Okay, maybe most Yanks have never heard of them, but when I was a kid they hosted a summer TV variety show called The Picadilly Palace which was shown in the States. My family and I found them hilarious and I've been a fan ever since. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.236.201.175 (talk • contribs) 04:27, 30 July 2005

Still doesn't detract from the point made, that most Americans are unfamiliar with the pair.--Crestville 20:40, 30 July 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Sudden death?

This article only obliquely mentions Morecambe's "sudden death". It should be explicitly described — when (after a gig?), where, and how. Based on the Last words quote Dbiv just added to Wikiquote [1], it sounds like a noteworthy passing. ~ Jeff Q (talk) 03:55, 23 July 2006 (UTC)

Done & Done--Crestville 10:37, 23 July 2006 (UTC)
Excellent job, Crestville! You didn't just fix the proximate problem, you fleshed out the entire topic and thoroughly sourced it! I'm glad we have you at both Wikipedia and Wikiquote. ~ Jeff Q (talk) 15:14, 5 August 2006 (UTC)
Oh, ta very much--Crestville 14:46, 21 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Princess Anne?

I don't remember Princess Anne ever appearing on the M&W show. What's the source for this? Miche 10:15, 21 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Frank Zappa

The statement that Eric was a fan of Frank Zappa has not been verified and is probably untrue. It has been tagged since June 2007 and I propose that it should be removed.Paul210 (talk) 17:25, 9 April 2008 (UTC)
