The first episode covers the early years of Morecambe & Wise – from their childhood dreams to the growing friendship that would ultimately change the world of comedy.

The second instalment will cover their golden age on the small screen with particular emphasis on their iconic TV series and Christmas specials, as Gary reveals how the Morecambe family watched this most festive of treats themselves.

Morecambe and Wise Forever is on ITV3 on April 15 and 16.
