Eric and Ernie first work in colour on American television and are invited to perform on a major TV special alongside stars like Bing Crosby and Bob Hope. Back in Britain, an ill-fated endeavour to record a series designed for both British and American audiences proves a disappointing end to their time at ATV, and drives them into the waiting arms of the BBC where they go on to deliver the best work of their careers.
