@mrdanwalker The commentators will be there, won't they?
It's a jolly holiday for the presenters and pundits who will still be upto 1,000 miles away from the stadia hosting the match.
📺In yesterday's episode of @bbceastenders, Denise is diagnosed with acute myeloid leukaemia (AML).
Denise asks her smart speaker about outcomes, and specifically for Black people.
The smart speaker says that for people from Black backgrounds, outcomes can be poorer.
John Eric Bartholomew, AKA Eric Morecambe, was born 100 years ago today.
Few people in history have made as many people laugh as Eric, and as someone whose life was dedicated to that purpose, I am sure it is an accolade he would have been incredibly proud of.
For me, Eric’s brilliance lay not just in the laughter he created, but in the anticipation of the laughter to come. That gift was omnipresent, following him like a comedic halo. To see him was to smile instinctively, followed quickly by genuine laughter. His friend Tommy Cooper possessed that same rare quality, and I have many treasured memories of watching them both when I was young.
Thanks to social media, Eric’s work continues to be enjoyed by millions worldwide every day, and appreciation for his immense talent only grows. Long may that continue.
Here he is, with Ernie and Mr Preview, creating some 22 karat TV comedy gold.
God bless Eric Morecambe x
