This is from Eric and Ernie's 1981 Christmas show on ITV, which for the first time in their TV career, their Christmas show was not aired on Christmas Day, but instead 23rd December, due to internal politics at ITV over Christmas scheduling.
This moment was actually when Eric & Ernie lost a lot of the younger viewers. This routine was to joke about how Eric & Ernie still wanted to be cool & of course weren't. In fact this led to many younger viewers just thinking they were lame & old, the viewing figures for the show from 1982 took a big drop from 16.6 million for this 1981 Christmas show to 11.5 million for the 1982 Christmas show.
Thank you, great performance, Alvin.
Love it 😁
