As they say, a good innings and a stalwart of British comedy.

Cliched though it is, Rest in Peace, Norm.

Sad news. I met him once - lovely chap, and a great entertainer.

What a grand age to have lived too. I have fond memories of watching his films during the summer hols during my early teens,

Sleep well Norm, you've earned the rest..

ScottishWoody · 04/10/10 - 22:15

Er.

Who?

The Geek · 04/10/10 - 22:15

Not being funny but is he really dead? I know Sky News reported he was dead before, so I'm a little wary.

[Deleted User] · 04/10/10 - 22:15

RIP. Grand age though!

Albanians everywhere will be gutted.

Awwwwwwwwwwwwww

Just seen it on Breaking News

Used to love watching him as a kid

Awww sad news - but fab age so can't grumble at that really.

TheDonk · 04/10/10 - 22:15

One tumble too many?:)

RIP Funny man.

First I've heard of it. Never a fan of his work, but he seemed a charming sort.

dylan99 · 04/10/10 - 22:16

RIP

I look forward to some of his films being reshown.

Magic Torch · 04/10/10 - 22:16

I seem to remember Sky News reporting his death a few years ago, but it turned out no to be true :eek:

biggebruv · 04/10/10 - 22:16

is he the one who used to present the outakes show??

[Deleted User] · 04/10/10 - 22:16

I know it was expected but it's very sad. I saw him about fifteen years ago (he was a mere 80!) and he was fabulous - so full of energy and sparkle - he had the audience howling with laughter.

Backstage he had time for everybody and was kind and courteous - a real entertainer.

Mr Grimsdale!

[Deleted User] · 04/10/10 - 22:17

I actually cried a little bit reading that - as a 25 year old woman he has provided me with so many laughs. He really was an absolute legend :-(

I am glad he is 'free' now however as I know he was suffering from dementia.

Albania will have a day of mourning ...... or norming.

escapeintonight · 04/10/10 - 22:18

I've enjoyed his comedies all my life and I shall watch one tomorrow.

Thanks for the years of laughter Mr Wisdom

RIP

Don't know who he is, but at least he managed to live a long life. And looking at his wiki, he appears to have done well for himself. RIP.

Constant PMT · 04/10/10 - 22:18

Awwww RIP

Although there is nothing in google or yahoo yet?

No, that's Dennis Norden who's still going strong.

Norman Wisdom.
