Previn Plays Greig Sketch Videos

Aug 20, 2008 - Later, they did a series of "I worked with Morecambe and Wise, and look what happened to me" mini sketches. Mr Privet/Preview/Previn appeared on the back of London bus dressed in a bus conductor's uniform, waving his baton. I think it's safe to say he doesn't mind that much :) And yes, this is the funniest TV sketch of all time, so far as I'm concerned !

Aug 20, 2008 - 2:47-2:56 is the funniest bit, just PURE GENIUS.

Aug 20, 2008 - I agree with violetultra - Ernie's silly little dance behind Eric at the piano just makes it

superbliek Says:

Aug 20, 2008 - yeah, definitely their best sketch. hope someone puts up the whole thing one day. I remember the line where Eric is discussing the sheet music with Mr. Previn and says: "Not too heavy on the banjo's". Hilarious!

Aug 20, 2008 - so, want to see the whole clip on here. Love it when Previn comes over to Eric looking aghast after he has played the wrong tune, and Eric asks him, 'Something wrong with the violins?''No, there's nothing wrong with the violins' he replies disdainfully..'Well that's only your opinion' deadpans Eric...Genius

Aug 20, 2008 - Pure genius!

schnozz87 Says:

Aug 20, 2008 - Eric's face at 2:30 is the absolute best bit...

krakenwave Says:

Aug 20, 2008 - Anyone who thinks Ern is superfluous in this sketch: his spontaneous soft-shoe shuffle when Eric plays 'the right notes but not in the right order' - after his solemn MC bit - makes it perfect

krakenwave Says:

Aug 20, 2008 - Watch it again. Oh but you are wrong. Ern's pretentions which fail into a crappy softshoe makes it perfect

Aug 20, 2008 - Andre Previn is fantastic, especially considering that he only just learnt the script and that he isn't an actor

Aug 20, 2008 - Different class

Aug 20, 2008 - Classic.

jjo2 Says:

Aug 20, 2008 - One beautifully subtle joke in the sketch - Eric is in fact playing the right notes, in the right order, but in the wrong rhythm.

Aug 20, 2008 - Is that right ??!! Can you prove that or supply your source for that bold statement ?

Aug 20, 2008 - Rubbish

coydigga Says:

Aug 20, 2008 - Why are people so retarded? They marked this apt comment as spam.Perhaps the cooment is mocking the last word said in the video?

Blueshark2000 Says:

Aug 20, 2008 - Thanks very much mate at least someone has now twigged the fact that the reason I said RUBBISh is because of what Morecambe said at the end, I am not mocking it because it is a great sketch

Burghjazz Says:

Aug 20, 2008 - I just saw Previn here in Pittsbugh this Sunday at Heinz Hall..He is 78 now a little older..more grey hair and has a little trouble walking but hasnt missed a beat with the baton. He played Copland's Appalachian Spring Suite, Concerto for Harp and Orchestra (world premiere) and written by Previn along with Beethoven's #4......Great stuff now..and great stuff in 1971.

Aug 20, 2008 - Ok so there is a statue in Morcombe in honour of Eric, It has been too long now that Ernie has not been recognised in the same way! Without Ernie Eric would have been nothing and the same goes for ernie! They both needed each other to make the act work so for only one to be recognised and not the other is tragic and appauling!
