Two Of A Kind Volume 2

Video Review from 2007

This set of videos are a must for any fan. They show Eric and Ern in their first big TV series that ran from 1961 to 1967, and the material is brilliantly funny.

Although in black and white this does not detract at all from the top level of entertainment and now familiar cross talk and sketches.

The complete set was available via The Sun newspaper as a special deal, but also released through video stores.

The material is written by Sid Green and Dick Hills, who, due to an Equity strike at the time, also appear as extras in all of the sketches. This allowed Eric and Ern to get their own personalities across and helped them gain popularity.

This compilation features Ann Hamilton's very first appearance with the boys in the Man from Uncle sketch.

Highly recommended (you can still get them on Amazon or eBay) but sadly only available on VHS at the moment.
