from
Wikipedia
Yarwood's career peaked during the 1970s when he was one of a stable of stars under the BBC Light Entertainment impresario Bill Cotton, alongside Bruce Forsyth, Dick Emery, Morecambe and Wise, Val Doonican and The Two Ronnies, all these performers having started their careers on ITV during the preceding decade.
Both Yarwood and Morecambe and Wise signed up with Thames TV, with mixed results ; Morecambe and Wise fared better than Yarwood and their ratings remained relatively high.
However, unlike Yarwood, Forsyth bounced back and enjoyed a huge success with Play Your Cards Right.
