The Importance of Being Ernie: The Importance of Being Ernie was a documentary from the "Omnibus" strand of programming on BBC1 and was made in 1993 following the career of the comedian Ernie Wise after the death in 1984 of his comedy partner Eric Morecambe.  It charted the current work of the comedian who, since the death of his partner, had made West End appearances in "The Mystery of Edwin Drood" and concentrated largely on pantomime work.  His autobiography, entitled "Still On My Way To Hollywood", is referenced throughout the programme.  Despite having the full co-operation of the subject, the programme has been criticised for focussing on him in a negative way, portraying a somewhat tragic figure and, in one section, memorably sees him reminiscing with a view of Eric Morecambe from one of their television programmes in the background.  Wise is known to have been unhappy with the outcome of the broadcast programme, and it is notable for being his last major televised work prior to his death in 1999 from heart problems.

The plot was (very!)  loosely based on Edmond Rostand's story of the titular great swordsman and poet, summed up by Morecambe's memorable line: "...my name is Cyrano, a swordsman and poet, woo the ladies to give them a thrill, but right now I'd like your attention, coz I've got my nose stuck in this grill! ...".  The play, such as it is, concludes with the three main stars singing their version of Joan Edwards' "Darn It, Baby, That's Love" with suitably amended lyrics.
