It is one of the all-time classic moments in British comedy: André Previn is trying to conduct a special pre-decimal arrangement of Grieg s Piano Concerto, with Eric Morecambe as his soloist, and it is not going at all well. Morecambe has already called him by the wrong name ( Ah, Mr Preview - how are you? ); insulted the members of his orchestra ( I ve seen better bands on a cigar! ); made an ill-judged claim about his own musical credentials ( You re now looking at one of the few men who has actually fished off the end of Sir Henry Wood Promenade! ); lectured him on how to do his job ( In the second movement - not too heavy on the banjos ); asked him to lengthen the introduction by about a yard ; suggested that they phone Grieg himself in Norway for some musicological clarification ( Mind you, you might not get him - he could be out skiing ); and coaxed the conductor into leaping high up in the air so that his cue can be seen from over the lid of the piano.
