Episode 2

Ater their first performances on The Ed Sullivan Show in 1963, Eric and Ernie are invited back to New York the following year and appear on the same night as The Beatles and are seen by over 70 million viewers. The comedy duo realise that to appeal to the huge American viewing audience they need to concentrate on their more visual comedy rather than the 'cross talk' so loved by their British fans. They also get the opportunity to become movie stars when they are offered a three-film deal in Britain - might this be their fast track to Hollywood?
