[JMT1985]

This is going slightly off the topic but the first 3 show the pair did for Thames were still a high standard. Eddie Braben wasn't the writer for any of them. Infact if LWT had taken them they might have kept Eddie away.

I also know this is off topic, and to the moderator I apologise and promise this will be the last reply to this little detour, I promise.

Yes, their first two specials in 1978 was fairly good, but everyone did feel the pacing of the specials was really bad compared to how Eddie Braben paced his content.

Their third special aired at Christmas 1979 and was really a chat show special, as Eric was unfit to make a full special due to his heart attack and heart surgery, so we can't base that third special as high standard, as it was a bog standard chat show, with special guests and just one new sketch, Sylvester and Tweety Pie.

Okay, end of detour.
