After Penn And Teller

[poliphilo]

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.
