A blue plaque in tribute to comedy double act Eric
Morecambe and Ernie Wise has been unveiled at the studio where much of their
best work was shot.
The Heritage
Foundation erected the plaque at Teddington Studios in west London.
It was revealed
by Mr Morecambe's widow Joan and daughter Gail in front of guests including
comedian Bernard Cribbins and presenter Michael Aspel.
Morecambe and
Wise's entertainment career lasted more than 40 years.
Studio One at
Teddington was the production home for the last four series of the duo's
programme.
Forming in
1941, the pair rose to fame with their blend of sketches, comedy catchphrases
and visual gags.
Episodes of The
Morecambe and Wise show are regarded as among the best British comedy
programmes ever produced.
Joan Morecambe
said it was a "very special day indeed".
"And they
were very funny," she added.
