Comic Relief: Morecambe & Wise Sketch

Allan Rafferty

Derbyshire (UK)

What's it all about

A one-take, one shot, recreation of the Morecambe & Wise Breakfast sketch to raise money for Comic Relief, featuring Raffers & Kay.

How the loss of both my Grandparents inspired me to do a good deed in their honour.

In October last year, my Granddad past away suddenly and my Nan was diagnosed with terminal cancer. What followed were several months of grief as my family gathered for my Granddad's funeral and my Nan; the strongest lady I've ever met, slowly dwindled away. The family pulled together throughout Christmas and we did our best to ensure she had the best send off she could ask for. My final memory in her kitchen (where I'd spent several years playing card games and sharing my life with her) was waiting for her carer to help her change before we celebrated the new year and brought in 2019 together.

By the time I went to see her again she'd fallen into a coma and before I knew it she'd gone. My struggles to accept this were increased by the fact she'd lived next to my parents for just under ten years. I wanted to return to her kitchen, but while mourning her loss I didn't know if I could.

The Idea

Then myself and my double act partner Jacob came up with a plan as to how I could return to her kitchen one last time, but now I'd be creating a memory, something I can share with everyone from here on out. Then it came to my attention that Comic Relief is on the horizon and therefore we had the unique opportunity to raise some money and do a good deed in honour of my fallen grandparents.

My Granddad and I had shared a common interest in Morcambe and Wise, he'd even gone to see them at Blackpool once (something of which I was very jealous). And so it's for him that I aim to recreate their classical breakfast sketch in hopes of inspiring our generation to give kindly to comic relief.

Extra Challenges

What makes this version of the breakfast sketch unique is the fact that it will all be done in one shot (a feat that hasn't been accomplished before). We hope this inspires people to share so we can reach as many people as possible and hit our goal of £100.
