The premise

Here’s the bit.

A tune on the radio transforms a quiet breakfast into an elaborate duet. Eric and Ernie pass bread and eggs in rhythm, attack the grapefruit, juggle pancakes and catch the toast. The refrigerator supplies a spotlight for their increasingly theatrical routine, before strings of sausages become the final props in their dance around the kitchen.
