Eddie Braben

TV: Eric, Ernie & Me, BBC4

Eric Morecambe and Ernie Wise have become a compulsory component of Christmas television so it makes sense that the BBC has made this drama, written by Neil Forsyth, about their 1970s heyday. Except that Eric, Ernie & Me isn't supposed to be about Eric and Ernie, it's about Eddie Braben, the writer who made them pre-eminent household names. It is good to see a writer getting some credit for a change. And deservedly so. Without him we may not still be wanting to see all of those M&W reruns.
