Bless him, after such a cold and horrible early family life, he found a way to make EVERYONE love him.

I used to see & say hello to Norman regularly at St James's Park in Newcastle watching NUFC with his great friend from his army days. One of my childhood hero's & a wonderful man ❤🖤🤍

I don’t think Norman will be forgotten per se, I just the world will run out of people who now how to laugh at the human condition without taking offence. He came to the world when it needed him in it. As ever perfect timing

Simply the best better than all the rest he did it his way. Sadly missed by everyone. Friends and family. Everyone just loved him. Rest in peace sir Norman wisdom. ❤❤xx

Loved is films watching with my family great memories I’m 51 now.

I have very pleasant memories of Norman, having watched him on the TV in B&W, his extraordinary range emotionally (which seems rarely mentioned) was what had my attention. His humour was infectious. His circumstances, of enforced poverty, where the poor paid all the tax, and the toffs paid none and ran the place. Maybe it was the toffs who ruined his childhood, just as it did to so many world-wide?

Super. Val Australia

Thank-you! I never was a fan (different strokes for different folks) but what a sensitive biograhy!

Norman wisdom absolutely the greatest funniest man has ever been even Charlie Chaplin said that and you cannot argue with that I can not see why they have not put a bronze statue of Norman Wisdom in London to honour him . also I think all the British public who loves Norman Wisdom should get a petition for him to put a statue of him in London so people can go and see it R I P The great Norman wisdom ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

I watched the documentary it was filmed just months before he passed away. It was more upsetting to watch because of the way his two children were so cruel to him & about him, it made for shocking viewing! The only person who showed him any kindness & understanding was his daughter-in-law!

Tears in my eyes to hear his upbringing. No -one deserves to be treated in the way his father treated him..

Beautiful white times

I was lucky enough to meet norman twice, and we had a chat in a card shop in Sussex, Norman was with his daughter, that memory I will have for ever,x

I grew up watching Norman Wisdom films,he was the funniest man on the planet,absolutely adored him.x

I was given my middle name… Norman… by my grandparents because they loved him. My parents were in India when I was born and they sought my grandparents’ advice on a middle name, because they had lost touch with what was current in England.

Wow ! Vera Lynn . Babe .

Jacqui wisdom is gorgeous looking ❤❤

People complaining about Normans kids. They know their dads ways better than anyone .

Norman was a proper star 🌟

just the mention of his name brings a smile to my face

Very very cold hearted people. Imagine not wanting to be recognised as Norman Wisdoms Daughter. Or son. Bet they had no bother taking Normans money.

His father was a bully he beat Norman threw his down stairs and that's how he learnt to fall and roll

His son and daughter were a disgrace. I guess they just took the money and ran. A pair of ungrateful, uncaring, spoilt and greedy individuals.

I met him along with my friend on The Isle of Man, we were in a bus shelter waiting for the TT races to begin, very down to earth man .

I met him in Monmouth years back, when I was a beat copper, I think it would have been in the 90s. He was visiting with his companion, and while she was looking at bathroom stuff we fell into conversation. We spoke about his films and careea. I asked him why he didn't do more in the US as I really liked the film The Night they Raided Minsky 's, it was a straight role and he'd been brilliant in it - he'd worked with some of the bigest names in films at the time. I was quite amazed at his candour as to why he centered his life back here. He asked me what was my favourite act and I said to be honest that I prefered his singing, where upon he sang to me a couple of his songs, quite unabashed. Afterwards we chatted for a while about my time at sea, until his companion had finished browsing when we shook hands and said good bye. A very genuine man. It's a wonderful memory which I keep with me.

Norman brought so many people happiness…. His life was a gift to the World !

It’s funny reading the comments here, everyone seems to be talking about Norman Wisdom as the character on screen. This I think is a very insightful documentary on caring for the elderly, especially when you are the child of that person. You can see in the eyes of the family that nobody really wants to take care of him full-time because it can be soul destroying to watch someone you lovestart to, deteriorate in front of you especially when you have a family of your own. I’m not sure it was a good idea to have the cameras here. I would be very uncomfortable if it was me but I think it’s very interesting to see the comments here about people saying they would’ve taken care of him themselves? I don’t think you would to be honest maybe for a week maybe for two but I doubt you could do what these guys have done for their own father.

I thought this was about pilosopy in Normandy or in Vikingland. Who made up the name of that man?

An amazing man who could make us all laugh or cry in equal measure… Getting old sucks, and dementia is just life’s last cruel joke.. I’m 53 and was brought up watching Normans films.. Square Peg being my favourite As a man who loves cars and currently owns 7 1990’s Sportbikes…..I’d also be upset hearing they’d been sold RIP Norman

A testament to the acting and directing…the idea of Vera returning to take Jack to paradise…a fantasy sequence…could have been cheesy But this was so well done it didn’t feel jarring at all ❤

One of life’s truly unique, funny, kind and lovely human beings.. As a 53 year old I remember watching his films as a kid and always laughing until I couldn’t breathe.. RIP Norman

As my Grandad often said of his own background: "I learned from the university of adversity". Such was so true of Norman Wisdom. A lovely man!

What an extraordinary life!

I had the pleasure of making suits for Norman! Travelling over to the Isle of Man to his house to measure him! He was always a true Gentleman!

Norman was to me, a lovely fantastic gentleman. You don't see these kind of acts anymore. Rest in peace my friend, God bless.

The man was pure class

Think what his kids did to him was a discrase they stuck him in a home they had signing power sold his expensive cars and his home could'nt wait to get there hands on his money banded friends from seeing him same story with his mother crops up out of the blue the smell of money.He was a soft touch he was brilliant considering tough no schooling upbringing self made.his kids still making money out of daugter never worked a day shame on his syblings !!!!!!!!

God I loved him, up Pompeii my favourite comedy on telly. I loved watching him as a kid I'd be tickled pink honestly 🤣

Brilliant funny man ,and a brilliant video ,loved all his films and il never forget that sketch ge sid with bruce Forsyth,where they wallpaped a room very funny

Norman is up there if not higher than some of the british comedians of the 50s....had a great repertoire with Jerry Desmond......im lucky enough to have purnished both of their photo autographs.... Thank you Norman for bringing smiles and laughs into my childhood (1970s & early 1980s)

Im 51, and i love Norman, i have all his films on dvd

A true legand. No one else will beat this chacter. A true gent

Dammitt, I promised I wouldn't watch this again. Brought me to floods of tears last time. His family are beautiful. xxx

There should be a movie of this special kind tough and humble man. What ever diversity we endure we can make it through. Surely a life's lesson.

I loved watching Norman you could tell he was a kind person it’s so sad to hear about his childhood bless him

the great man driving through hammersmith around 2000s, in what looked like a datsun sports car soft top, i shouted he rsponded what car was it?

An American here. The moment I finally saw Norman Wisdom my heart leapt in joy. There's never been anyone with such wonderful comedic physicality before or since him. Watching this just reminded me I must watch everything he made following this. Thank you so much for this upload.

The circle of life. At birth we need taking care of and in our later years we might need taking care of.

His son is very cold, not even a hug at the airport. He kept his arms behind his back. I can't believe they sold his cars and motorbike so that he can't even enjoy them. Just cruel
