Can't say I really liked the guy as a comedian and actor - I've never been a fan of slapstick humour, but it's sad to see the demise of another well known name who seems to have been around forever. He had a good innings though - 95 is quite an achievement! RIP Norman.


That's two legends in a few days and these things always seem to be in 3s. Hope there's no more bad news this week.

It's mad; I was just reading up on him a few days ago to see how he was. I loved his films when I was little. RIP.

I made it sound wrong :(

Also I was obviosuly joking D:

I wasn't a prticular fan of his,but he has done some stuff, he made loads of comedy films, had records in the charts. Kept going with minor roles to his 90s, he was in Coronation Street briefly in 2004 or 2005 as well.

Always sad when a legend dies,but 95 is a great achievement.

Kerry 04-10-2010 10:40 PM

Wonderful man. God Bless him x

Quote:

Comic actor Sir Norman Wisdom has died aged 95, his son has confirmed.

The London-born star was known for his slapstick film roles in the 1950s and 1960s, famously playing Norman Pitkin against frustrated boss Mr Grimsdale.

Sir Norman became a cult figure in Albania, where his were the only films from the West allowed in the country.

His family said he died at a nursing home on the Isle of Man on Monday evening, having suffered a series of strokes over the past six months.
Another one of the greats has gone

We will not see their likes again

Adieu
