* AccentDepundent: In the Four Candles/Fork Handles sketch, a customer at a hardware shop (who sounds like he comes from one of England's more rural counties) asks for "fork 'andles." The shopkeeper hands him four candles, thinking this is what he wants, but the customer then clarifies that he wants "fork 'andles - 'andles for forks [[note]]as in garden forks[[/note]]." The rest of the sketch is based around the customer asking for various items and the shopkeeper misunderstanding what he wants, with the shopkeeper eventually becoming exasperated and accusing the customer of "having him on." The sketch works because the customer drops his H's, making "fork handles" sound like "four candles."

Morecambe and Wise were almost completely defined by their partnership on and off screen.
