Britain's Most Loved and Best Comedy Double Act

Ernie Remembered



Ernie Wise
21st March 1999 – Ernie wise left us to join his partner in a better place.

Together for over 43 years, Ernie Wise and Eric Morecambe were by far the most loved double act Britain has ever produced.

Ernie was the rock on which Eric could confidently lay his foundations in full knowledge that whatever happened, Ernie would be there to support him.

Every comic is only as good as his straight man, and Ernie was the best in the business.

He was more than a straight man, he was a comic in his own right, an actor, a writer, a singer and a dancer.

Please take a moment out of your life to remember Ernie on this day.
