===''Two of a Kind'': 1961β1968=== In 1961, [[Lew Grade]] offered the duo a series for the London-based [[ITV (TV network)|ITV]] station [[Associated Television|ATV]]. Entitled ''[[Two of a Kind (UK TV series)|Two of a Kind]]'', it was written by [[Dick Hills and Sid Green]]. An [[British Actors' Equity Association|Equity]] strike halted that show, but Morecambe and Wise were members of the Variety Artists' Federation, then a separate trade union unaffiliated with Equity. Green and Hills later appeared in the series as "Sid" and "Dick". The sixth Morecambe and Wise series for ATV was planned from the start to be aired in the United Kingdom as well as exported to the United States and Canada. It was taped in colour and starred international guests, often American. Prior to its British run, it was broadcast in North America by the ABC network as a summer replacement for re-runs of ''[[The Hollywood Palace]]'', under the title ''The Piccadilly Palace'', from 20 May to 9 September 1967. All but two episodes of this series are now believed to be lost, with the surviving two episodes existing only as black-and-white copies, bearing the UK titles. The duo had appeared in the US on ''[[The Ed Sullivan Show]]''. In 1968, Morecambe and Wise left ATV to return to the BBC.
