norman wisdom. Kinda one of them blokes i thought would last way into his hundreds

[B00]

Well he was only 5 years off :P

Was never a fan of his comedies, i've never liked slap stick comedy, however I can accept he was a legend and was enjoyed by millions, not least of all in Albania!

[Ankou]

b00 prefers slap and tickle i imagine.

yeah shame really, but then i doubt most 20 somethigs would know who he is, so its a bit like your parents telling you liberace died, or some famous american singer was shot.

Tony Curtis and Norm all in one week! Good old Norman, he made me laugh till I cried as a kid. One of the few celebrities to really deserve a knighthood.

i used to watch his films when younger. Shame young ones wont know him. Imagine when we're older though. Be loads of famous dying as so many today through reality, music and film

[Ankou]

telling my kids about michael jackson, will be a bit like my parents telling me about elvis.

[4getmenot]

yer would be and he died on my bday

[Count-A-Strong]

Nah Ankou, Elvis was good.

[4getmenot]

still waiting for similar story to 1st man on the moon or where i when we won the world cup

[Ankou]

the analogy was in reference to the generation gap.
mj had some great songs too in the early days.

[4getmenot]

although we have princess di and jade goody, 'who's that mum?'

[4getmenot]

well i never knew he wrote 'theyll be bluebirds over the white cliffs of dover'

[sprayermick]

Who wrote there'll be bluebirds over the white cliffs of dover?

Yes RIP Norman Wisdom. Thanks for the laughs, he never had to crack a joke to make you laugh just the slapstick comedy. Thank goodness I have loads of his dvds.

RIP Norman.
If there is an afterlife, he'll now be re-united with Edward Chapman and Jerry Desmonde (MR GRIMSDALE !!!)
