    Met him a couple of times. A natural entertainer. He'd make you laugh just by walking in the room. They don't make them like that anymore.

    I met Norman Wisdom, I shared a lift with him at Alicante airport in 2002. Very nice and humble man I had my son who was a baby then. Just an1 in a million chance of meeting him.

    Bless him. I’ve been rewatching his old movies on you tube.. he reminds me so much of my Granddad who was born a year before him, he too was very poor and had a hard life as a child, and went through starvation and had to steal food. One time he didn’t eat for a week and stole an apple. Very hard times. We don’t know how lucky we are today! RIP Norman. Thank you for the laughs ❤

    I had the honour of seeing him perform live in Ottawa, Ontario. He was not a young man when I saw him, but his routine was high energy and still full of pratfalls. He always made me think of Chaplin's hobo character, with lines.

    To me, I think it’s safe to say that this guy was the Robin Williams of his day. He had both a mixture of joy and sadness in his eyes whenever he spoke, similarly to Robin, but was also a natural entertainer and great actor who excelled just as much at drama (check out the BBC movie he did with Judi Dench in the early 80’s called “Going Gently) as he did at comedy. RIP dear man. Hope you are making people up there laugh!

    He used to tell these sad stories from his early life repeatedly and wonder if they’re as genuine as he’d have us believe or if they’re embellished for sentimental effect. There were always sentimental syrupy scenes in his films to evoke the same emotions from the audience.

    Listen to his jokes, his one liners are very similar humour to Spike Milligan, kind of the music hall generation humour. They were peers after a fashion.
