Which one's which?-I can never remember
Eric's always on the left, and Dec is on the right.

They should be sent to North Korea.
They may come in handy for the secret police as an instrument of torture.

I must admit I haven't really bothered with them since the Biker Grove days, so I don't really know what they are like these days.

No, that's Ant. The other one is called Bee.

Morecombe and Wise had about a dozen jokes that were just repeated, had a recorded Saturday night slot for about six weeks per year and a Christmas special. Nothing else apart from a few really bad films. Good in their day but really not great.
The one to watch Ant and Dec in is Saturday Night Takeaway. The host a LIVE one hour prime time show. M&W would s*** themselves at the very thought of doing that! They do this exactly as the show wants and are on cue every time throughout.
Plus they then do the hosting of BGT and the Jungle thing. Yes it is all ITV low rent tv but that is the niche they are in and they do a brilliant job of it.
I would say they are far ahead of any other presenters today and probably will be recognised as brilliant in time but not now.
Present day never looks good when pitched against the past.

I'm with you on Ant and Dec's excellence, but M&W were also truly excellent. Just a different job, really.
Stage comedians -vs- presenters. OK, there's a lot of comedy in what A&D do, but it's a different kettle of fish, really. They are great at what they do. So were M&W.

I'd replace chalk with something smellier as far as Antanddec are concerned. To compare them to M&W is an insult to two great comedians.
You may well infer that I detest the Geordie pair.
You'd be right!
