How Eddie Braben transformed Morecambe and Wise into the nation's most beloved entertainers.

Biopic of Eddie Braben's time working as the chief scriptwriter for TV comedy duo Morecambe and Wise during their most successful period in the seventies - and how his genius and ideas transformed their act, and took them to the very top of their profession. But it wasn't always laugh-a-minute for Eddie behind scenes, as the stress of keeping the act at the top of their game took its toll on him.—stevecann2003

in 1969 Liverpudlian Eddie Braben reluctantly agrees to write scripts for the fading comedians Morecambe and Wise, whose act he despises. He determines to turn them into a true double act, creating many of the catch-phrases and sketches which would be their trademark. However his success puts increasing demands on him, as more and more celebrities clamour to be in the duo's shows and more scripts are called for and his health suffers. He agrees to one last script - the ratings-topping Christmas show of 1977, after which a grateful Morecambe and Wise tell him, "You made us."—don @ minifie-1
