UMorecambe kunye noBulumko, uEric noErnie. Nangona kunjalo uyabachaza ukuba bahlala beyona duo yethu inkulu. Kodwa indoda ebhale umdlalo omtsha malunga nayo inokongeza isiqinisekiso kule nkcazo. Uninzi lwabantu bacinga ukuba babhale imiboniso ngokwabo, okanye bayenza njengoko beqhubeka. Ngapha koko, esi yayisisenzo esiphindwe kathathu, hayi isenzo esiphindwe kabini, utsho uNeil Forsyth. NguEddie Braben owenze ukuba badume- kwaye ngubani owahlawula ixabiso.
Isibhengezo
UForsyth, owafunda ngobomi bukaBraben kwiKrisimesi ephelileyo, uthi, ndachukunyiswa yimpixano phakathi komdlalo oqinisekisa ubomi awabhalayo kunye nenkqubo yokubhala enesidima awazibeka kuyo yonke imihla ukuyila, uyacacisa. Iziphumo ngu-Eric, Ernie kunye nam, i-biopic malunga noBraben odlalwa nguStephen Tompkinson, kunye no-Eric odlalwa nguMark Bonnar no-Ernie nguNeil Maskell. Ibonisa indlela, emva kwenkonzo yesizwe kwiRAF, uBraben wasebenza kwivenkile yeziqhamo kunye neveg kwimarike yaseSt John, eLiverpool, ebhala iziqhulo ngexesha lakhe lokuzimela nokuzithumela kubahlekisi bendawo abanjengoKen Dodd. Wagqiba ukubhala uDodd kangangeminyaka eli-12 ngaphambi kokuba uBill Cotton, intloko ye-BBC yolonwabo, ammeme ukuba adibane noMorecambe no Wise. Babekhangela ababhali abatsha; Umqhaphu ufuna umdlalo ohlekisayo. I-seminal Morecambe kunye neWise Show yaba sisiphumo.

Umboniso ophambili kwidrama yinguqulelo ephantse yenzeka kuloo ntlanganiso yokuqala ngo-1969. Emva kokuzibiza ukuba akanguye umlandeli, uBraben wayebukele abahlobo babo bobuntwana behlekisa kwaye behlekisa, begqibezelana ngamabali kwaye batshintshana ngokushushu. Amakhwenkwe, uBraben kaTompkinson uqaphela, kutheni le ingesosenzo?
Kwakuyi-epiphany, kuchaza uForsyth. U-Eddie wabona ubuntu kunye nokufudumala kobomi bokwenene kunye nokuqonda okungaphakathi. Olo shorthand lwalungaboniswa kwisenzo sabo-esasiseholo lomculo kakhulu. Babenamakhalane namacebo amaninzi asebenza kakuhle eqongeni. Ingxoxo yakhe yayikukuba kumabonakude kufanele ukuba banxibelelane nababukeli ekhaya.
Mhlawumbi eyona mpumelelo inkulu kaBraben yayikukucenga abahlekisi ukuba benze into ekufuneka ibonakale ingacingeki ngelo xesha: ukwenza umdlalo wabo wokuhlekisa kwiipijama ecaleni komnye nomnye ebhedini. Babenqabile kakhulu kwaye kwaba yinto encinci yedabi, utsho uForsyth. Ekugqibeleni, uBraben wazenza ngathi uyanikezela, esongeza, nangona oko kwakulungile ngokwaneleyo kuLaurel noHardy… Ibhedi ekwabelwana ngayo yaba ngumfanekiso kaMorecambe noWise ongapheliyo.

UBarry Cryer, obhalele le duo kwaye ebengumhlobo noBraben, uyangqina, uEddie wenza uMorecambe kunye noWise. Wayelilungu lesithathu lesenzo esiphindwe kabini. Bebefana no-Abbott noCostello. U-Eddie wabayeka ukuba nguMorecambe kunye noWise kwaye baqala ukuba ngu-Eric no-Ernie.
Iingcamango zikaBraben, ukusuka kwiskripthi ukuya kwintsebenzo, zabenza amagama asekhaya. Kodwa ngempumelelo kweza uxinzelelo lwempumelelo enkulu ngakumbi. Ukuba bekukho ukungqubana, beku malunga neskripthi, utsho uCryer (odlalwa nguJon Culshaw kwindawo yedrama). Babengabasebenzi abathathu, ngoko ke kuyakubakho iintlantsi ezibhabha nangona uhamba kakuhle. Babedla ngokutsala ababukeli abazizigidi ezingama-20 ngomhla weKrisimesi. Uxinzelelo kuEddie lwalulukhulu: ‘Tshatisa umboniso weKrisimesi odlulileyo, uwenze ube mkhulu nangakumbi.’ U-Eric no-Ernie babesoloko bethumela iskripthi kuye ukuze asibethe. U-Eric wayekhe wafaka udliwanondlebe lokuba bayile izimvo kwaye u-Eddie wazibhala. Ngokukhawuleza u-Eddie wabathumela amaphepha amathandathu angenanto, kwaye wafaka nenqaku elithi, 'Kulungile makhwenkwe, qhubekani nawo.'
Ukuqhula ecaleni, uBraben wazama ukuqhubeka nokubhala kwakhona iskripthi kwiimfuno zikaEric noErnie. Nangona u-Eddie kunqabile ukuba athethe ngayo, kwii-obituaries zakhe kuvunyelwene ngokubanzi ukuba uyekile kumdlalo kabini ngenxa yempilo yakhe, utshilo uForsyth. Wazibeka phantsi koxinzelelo olukhulu. Umfazi wakhe uDee wayeza kuthi kuye, 'Thatha usuku' kwaye uya kuphazamiseka.
Ukunceda ukuhambisa umzabalazo kaBraben, umboniso bhanya-bhanya usebenzisa into ebonakala ngathi sisixhobo somlawuli: U-Eddie uzobe umabonakude kudonga lokubhala kwigumbi lakhe kwaye ujonge kuyo kangangeeyure kude kubonakale imizobo kuye. UForsyth uthi oku kuyinyani. Kwincwadi, uthetha ngokungqalileyo malunga nomzobo omkhulu we-ventriloquist's dummy sketch njengento ephume kuloo nto.
Ifilimu iphela ngomboniso weKrisimesi ka-1977-eyokugqibela kwi-BBC kunye neyatsala kwizigidi ezingama-28 (isiqingatha sabemi base-UK). Batshintshele amajelo kwi-ITV kodwa uBraben akazange ahambe nabo. Imiboniso ye-ITV yayingaqwalaselwanga kakuhle ngelo xesha, utshilo uCryer, owabhalela amakhwenkwe ukusuka ngo-1972 de kwaba kukugula kuka-Eric ngo-1983. Ngaxa lithile, mna noJohn Junkin sarhoxa kuba sasifumana iflaki. Ekugqibeleni, kunjalo, sabuya. NjengoEddie. Ndonwabile ukubona inkqubo eyimbeko kumbhali kwaye yamkela yonke into ebenzele yona. U-Eddie wayeyingqondi kwaye ndinoluvo lokuba ungumoya wethelevishini weKrisimesi.
