Morecambe And Wife by Joan Morcambe PDF

Minutes after they first met Eric stated that Joan was the girl he would marry, and within a few months they were married. In the early days Joan travelled the country with Eric as he moved from theatre to theatre, but later, with two young children to care for, the only time the family could all be together was on a Sunday.

As the days of variety came to an end Eric & Ernie began to make a career for themselves in television. At least Eric was now able to live at home but with their ever growing popularity and fame came increased pressures. In 1968 Eric suffered a heart attack. Nobody thought he would work again but he bounced back and went from strength to strength for another ten years. Then, in 1979 he had open heart surgery, but he went back into the demanding world of television.

In 1984 Eric was full of plans for his future with Joan after he retired. There was so much he wanted to do, people to see, places to visit, but in May he collapsed and died after appearing in a Sunday concert.

Morcamber and Wife is Joan's moving story and is as she says 'a celebration of the life we shared together'.
