Night Train to Murder

Night Train to Murder is a one-off 1984 feature-length British TV comedy drama, directed by Joseph McGrath and starring Morecambe and Wise.

It was written as a pastiche of the works of writers including Agatha Christie and Edgar Wallace and is set in 1946, featuring Morecambe and Wise ostensibly as 1940s versions of themselves.

[6][7] The closing moments of the film see Eric and Ernie walking off together, onto the next gig, making it their final screen image together.

Richard Last, reviewing for The Daily Telegraph, wrote "I would have preferred to keep my memories of the great Morecambe and Wise partnership without the help of Thames's dismal Night Train to Murder...

[6] Patrick Stoddart for The Sunday Times was more favourable: "an elegant, underplayed, witty little gem... conclusive proof that Morecambe and Wise were quite simply the most proficient comedians of the age".
