The names of these three comedians (Eric Morecambe, Tommy Cooper and Bob Monkhouse) will conjure up a sense of nostalgia for many. Do you have your own fond memories of them?

Bob Golding (Eric): I especially remember a Christmas special where Eric & Ernie were dressed as turkeys. I was mesmerised at their ability to make not just me laugh but my parents, my younger brother, and my elderly grandmother who would chuckle and mutter “silly buggers” under her breath.

Damian Williams (Tommy): I have so many fond memories of these iconic men from watching them at Christmas with the family, particularly sitting with my dad watching Tommy Cooper and seeing him crying with laughter. I grew up with them and was certainly influenced by them. Tommy is the reason I got into the business.

Simon Cartwright (Bob): I enjoyed watching Bob presenting in the very early ‘70s - I would have been six years old - programmes like ‘The Golden Shot’ and then into the ‘80s with ‘Bob's Full House!

What is The Last Laugh about and why do you think it resonates with audiences today?
