Morecambe is a play by Tim Whitnall which celebrates the life of Eric Morecambe and is based on his life in the entertainment industry.
 The play premiered at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe in the summer of 2009 and transferred to the Duchess Theatre in London's West End for a limited Christmas season running from 9 December 2009 until 17 January 2010.
 It starred Bob Golding as Eric Morecambe and was directed by Guy Masterson.
 The play was shown at the Churchill Theatre in Bromley, South London in October 2010.
John Eric Bartholomew, OBE (14 May 1926 – 28 May 1984), known by his stage name Eric Morecambe, was an English comedian who together with Ernie Wise formed the award-winning double act Morecambe and Wise.
 The partnership lasted from 1941 until Morecambe's death in 1984.
 Morecambe took his stage name from his home town, the seaside resort of Morecambe.
Bring Me Sunshine was a gala concert held at the London Palladium on 28 November 1984 in the presence of the Duke of Edinburgh in aid of the British Heart Foundation and was held in memory of the comedian Eric Morecambe who had died the previous May after many years of heart problems.
 It was hosted by Morecambe's long-term partner Ernie Wise and featured a host of personalities all paying their tribute to the much-missed comedian.
 The show began with a dance routine, the theme for the whole evening's music being "sunshine" the dancers were accompanied by "You Are The Sunshine Of My Life" which was followed by the big entrance of Ernie Wise who first spoke, and then sang the duo's signature tune.
 This was an emotive moment for Wise and one that showed how big a part Morecambe had played in his life.
 Other stars that appeared over the course of the evening were:
The Importance of Being Ernie was a documentary from the "Omnibus" strand of programming on BBC1 and was made in 1993 following the career of the comedian Ernie Wise after the death in 1984 of his comedy partner Eric Morecambe.
 It charted the current work of the comedian who, since the death of his partner, had made West End appearances in "The Mystery of Edwin Drood" and concentrated largely on pantomime work.
 His autobiography, entitled "Still On My Way To Hollywood", is referenced throughout the programme.
 Despite having the full co-operation of the subject, the programme has been criticised for focussing on him in a negative way, portraying a somewhat tragic figure and, in one section, memorably sees him reminiscing with a view of Eric Morecambe from one of their television programmes in the background.
 Wise is known to have been unhappy with the outcome of the broadcast programme, and it is notable for being his last major televised work prior to his death in 1999 from heart problems.
Jamie Daniel Burns (born 6 March 1984 in Blackpool, Lancashire) is an English professional footballer who played in midfield for Morecambe, whom he joined from Blackpool on 1 July 2007.
 He had been on loan from his hometown club since November 2006.
 At Blackpool, Burns scored four goals with strikes against Boreham Wood in the FA Cup, MK Dons in the league and a brace against Huddersfield Town in the Football League Trophy.
 After making his move to Morecambe permanent he scored once for the club in a 1-0 win over Tranmere Rovers in the Football League Trophy.
Graham Arthur Chapman (8 January 1941 – 4 October 1989) was an English comedian, writer, actor, author, and one of the six members of the British surreal comedy group Monty Python.
 He played authority figures such as the Colonel and the lead role in two Python films, "Holy Grail" and "Life of Brian".
The Passionate Pilgrim is a 1984 short feature film starring Eric Morecambe, Tom Baker and Madeline Smith notable for being Morecambe's last work, and one of few not to feature his long-term partner Ernie Wise.
 The film takes the setting of a silent film with narration provided by John Le Mesurier of "Dad's Army" fame, this too was some of his last work prior to his death in 1983.
 The film centres on a Lord who lives in a castle (the film was made entirely on location at Hever Castle) and his Lady the latter of which attracts the amorous attentions of the titular character.
 The plot centres on the pilgrim's failed attempts to gain entry to the castle by any means possible, and the lengths the lord will go to in order to stop him.
 In one memorable scene once the assailant has gained entry the lord brandishes an aerosol can labelled "Knight-Rid" to stop the pilgrim in his tracks.
 This film harks back to the era of silent films and is an unusual swansong for the much-missed comedian.
