....according to this ....
Just watching : Morecambe and Wise: The Whole Story.
He had no children so did some googling.

.
I've never been overly impressed by the antics of Peter Tatchell, whether he's outing some insignificant MP or barging into the Archbishop of Canterbury's pulpit.
Frankly, I'd respect him more if he protested in mosques about the much greater intolerance displayed toward homosexuals by some Islamic leaders (an outrage that would demand far more courage), but I freely admit that I am even more pusillanimous than he is, and for legal reasons am prepared to out only the dead.
Thus it is that today, in this column, I reveal what has been common knowledge in showbiz circles for years, but has not, I believe, previously been stated in print. Namely that, despite being married, Ernie Wise was gay.
Of course, Ernie can hardly be blamed for not revealing that he was more Martha than Arthur, for he grew up in a less tolerant era, but thankfully, we now live in more enlightened times.

I enjoyed that programme even though when the credits rolled I noticed it was made in 2008.

He must have been gay, on reflection. He regularly shared a bed with Eric.
|

By:
twin bed

it was

Ernie was certainly born with that happy gene. Happiness is a gay thing, did anyone notice if he clapped his hands in excitement? definite giveaway.

By:
Twin bed means two separate beds Kenny.

By:
breakfast sketch was one of the best ever
|
|
By:
in America 1950/60s TV sitcoms only allowed twin beds,even with married couples
 |

By:
This could be the first in a series of unsurprising facts about comedians; Coming soon, Dawn French not that keen on salad.
|

By:
Eric gets out of bed, to slightly open the window, to allow in an evening breeze
Ernie scolds 'You'll have sciatica in the morning' 'No, I won't. I'll have Shredded Wheat, the same as usual' quips Eric, as he gets back into their bed. |

By:
oh yes it does. 1 bed, double.

Not all gay guys partake in that ( I don't know the % )....Stephen Fry said he never had on a documentary on homophobia in Africa (Uganda?)
|

By:
when you ask this question 'who were the 1st couple to appear on tv in bed together' they will say morecambe and wise because at the time any kind of straight sex on tv was frowned upon by the bbc.ah how the bbc must of laughed when they let 2 'straight guys' appear on tv.
the actual answer for the 1st man and wife couple to appear on tv is not what you think it is (but i suppose at the time were they married in a sort of way but not like today ) |

By:
uganda and jamaica will kill openly gay people men or women not the govt but the general population
|
|
By:
russia dont like them as well
|

By:
Just an uneducated minority in all 3 countries I would bet.

By:
so cos he didnt have kids he was gay? id rather put my love spuds in a tigers mouth and tickle its nose than have kids, i suppose i best go out and find some dick to suck then.
|
|
By:
love spuds,tigers mouth
|
|
By:
I don't have kids.
Not strictly opposed to having them, but if they have 50% of my DNA, they'd probably be total c*nts, so probably best not to. |

Do you like satsumas?
|

By:
Yes

By:
all married guys are gay?
|
|
By:
It is incredible that this has been kept a secret for so long....if it is true.
|
|
By:
It is incredible that anyone still cares. Does the Andre Preview sketch become more or less funny if it turns out Ernie was gay, Eric was left-handed or the second violinist was mildly asthmatic?

I watched Bullseye on challenge today when the credits appeared at the end of the show it stated that it was from 1981, half of the contestants on it are probably deceased.
 |

By:
The 1970s would have been a very dark time without Morecambe and Wise
if one accepts the premise that 'Christmas' was invented to stop everyone over the age of 55 killing themselves in the winter |
|
By:
don't think ernie was gay.
the andre previn sketch prob one of the best comedy sketches ever, when eric slaps previn's face pure comedy gold. |
