Aaah sad news Norman Wisdom passed away ...............loved his comedy as a kid growing up.
95 yrs of age ...he leaves a wonderful legacy of simple pure slapstick humour:xxgrinning--00xx3:

Mr GRIMSDALE !!!!!!! What a star, such a shame to lose a genuine Britsh comedy hero. I too grew up watching his wonderful films.

RIP Norman

I just saw this on the news.
Personally, I found him a very funny man.
Seems he had a very interesting life, although in recent years I heard he suffered from
some form of Alzheimer. They mentioned that at the outset of this he knew what was happening... but typically made fun of himself (even he knew at some time he would be unable to)
Sad

A sad loss. A comedy great.
back in the late 80s I was with a mate walking down Deal High Street in Kent when we saw Norman coming in the opposite direction. My pal had just purchased a birthday card for his brother and asked Norman to put in it "have a lovely day from Norman Wisdom." He happily signed it and my friend's brother was over the moon! Good old Norman :D
Needless to say my friend had to go and buy another card from him though!

Totally agree...loved those guys as well. I know times move on and change , but one thing that i notice is the likes of Norman Wisdom , Laurel and Hardy , and others of that ilk, were funny men they made you laugh by being funny, good clean fun......today thats a rare thing .

good old slapstick humour, you wont get anybody as good as norman, or some others like benny hill, and also all the good old shows and films like carryon films, steptoe and son and on the buses, some of my favorites.

Norman Wisdom was also a very good singer.
Anyone remember his hit song 'Don't Laugh At Me, cos I'm A Fool'
I think he wrote it himself.
