After Penn And Teller

Penn and Teller have completed their run and their place has been taken by one of those programmes in which comedians talk about how funny other comedians are-  especially the dead ones. In an early sequence Ronnie Corbett was eating lunch with Miranda Hart and having a conversation that went something like this.

"But Morecambe and Wise were so funny weren't they?"

"I know I know- and did you notice how funny they were?"

"I know I know."

Then Ronnie took Miranda on a backstage tour of a theatre in Croydon- "the hallowed ground"- where Morecambe and Wise had once played a gig in the 70s.
