Thank you from me too! I have fond childhood memories of their shows. My father looked very like Eric and had a similar 'natural humour about him. I remember laughing as he copied some of Eric's mannerisms perfectly.
They might have been 'two of a kind' but as a double act, they were surely one of a kind that will never be seen again.

Oh Grief - can't it be changed?

It can always be changed. Maybe this close to its front page appearance it won't have to go through Update Central. All depends on whether Danny's got time to research and write something about Janet I guess.

'Sitting at my piano ...' I'd like to say 'Good work people'.

And we all know the answer to the question "What's a Greek urn?"

OK... I would suggest adding the following to the end of the 'This Boy's a Fool' section:
--------------------------------
As well as their 'special guests', Eric and Ernie also employed a number of regular performers. In their early 'Two of a Kind' shows, writers Sid Green and Dick Hills - only ever referred to as Sid and Dick - occasionally appeared in sketches. In the later shows, harmonica player Arthur Tolcher would often appear briefly before being unceremoniously thrown off, while shows would often be ended by actress Janet Webb walking on stage to thank everyone for watching 'her show', ending with a heartfelt 'thank you, and I love you all'.
--------------------------------
And, in response to a comment in another thread, I would add this to the end of the Eric John Bartholomew section:
--------------------------------------------
In 1999, the Queen unveiled a statue of Eric - by sculptor Graham Ibbeson - on the seafront in his hometown of Morecambe. The statue has Eric doing the trademark 'dance' that he and Ernie would do while leaving the stage at the end of their shows. The statue also features the names of 103 celebrities who appeared with the duo, some of whom were present for the unveiling.
---------------------------------------------
I'll point an italic in this direction
Thanks for the suggestions, everyone

Coming back to this for a third time (the first time I was editing it), I couldn't help but smile. Very funny people... very, very funny...
Sorely missed... true stars.
