Eric Morecambe: John Eric Bartholomew OBE (1926-1984), known by stage name Eric Morecambe, took his name from his home town, the seaside resort of Morecambe in Lancashire. He was the co-star of BBC television series The Morecambe and Wise Show, which for the 1977 Christmas episode gained UK viewing figures of over 28 million people. One of the most prominent comedians in British popular culture, in 2002 he was named among the top 40 Greatest Britons in a BBC poll – placed above David Beckham and Henry VIII.

Some 40 years after the nation lost him, everything from the iconic genius’s glasses to the piano he practised on to deliver a famous Morecambe and Wise Christmas special TV sketch with conductor André Previn – the one where Eric ‘plays all the right notes but not necessarily in the right order’ – will be featured in this auction.

His antiques, collectibles and art, including a painting of the star by royal portrait artist Richard Stone, will show the ‘other side’ of the man who made millions laugh.

Away from the TV studios, he liked fishing, birdwatching and collecting everything from clocks and fob watches to beer mats.  

The sale of 700 lots, the entire contents Brachefield, Eric’s former home in Harpenden, Herts, also demonstrates his dedication to his comedy craft. Secrets of his success are revealed by a mountain of never-before-seen items including heaps of gag and sketch ideas.
