Eric Morecambe branded “a time-waster” in unearthed school reports.

A 1936 report from Lancaster Road was returned with a message from Eric’s mother, Sadie Bartholomew, on the back of it.

It read: “I am disgusted with this report and would be obliged if you would make him do more homework as I would see he did it here, S. Bartholomew.”

His senior school report from 1940, when Eric was 14 and already treading the boards, read: “A trier, but very untidy in written work.

“Also fond of wasting time; Neatness could be better; Absent most of term. Appeared to be trying hard to improve.”
