Norman Wisdom Film Locations

[@FreeLancerLondon]

Amazing, my mum used to take me to see his films when I was a little boy. I loved them. It is shocking to see how the car dominates our streets so much now. Thanks for brilliant video 👍

[@MarkMahoney]

Yes its a different world! And Your welcome 😊

[@sharoncarter4086]

Love your film on locations past and present, I would love to see them for myself! I dearly loved Norman. I wrote to him twice, and he always replied. Wonderful man, I really miss him. He was amazing and so were his films. Thanks for the eternal laughs Norman xxxx

[@MarkMahoney]

Yess a wonderful man! nice to hear from you!

[@swanseamale47]

Amazing job finding all those. Lovely to see them then and now. Thank you.

Welcome mate

[@Rixsons]

Thank you. Think I'll have a Norman Wisdom day tomorrow. He was brilliant. My childhood memories of watching him. Loved them. X

[@MarkMahoney]

Yes nice one!! ☺👍👌

[@thefog7067]

I've loved Norman since I was 6 years old. I was devastated when he died. Thank you so much for all the effort and time that you put in to make this video a reality for all us other Norman fans. This was brilliant to watch!

[@MarkMahoney]

thanks mate

[@SuperGeorge2112]

Mark your choice of song hit me in the heart honestly, hard to believe he is gone now, I don't like the new world at all , his generation are all gone now they were gentlemen.

[@MarkMahoney]

yes george totally agree with you!

[@wilspu5590]

Correct

[@eddiek0507]

I agree with you George, it's not the world as I remember it...😎👍

[@Made1984.]

As a 35 year old when I was growing up in the 1990`s I seen films/sitcoms made between the 1950`s-70`s which always fascinated me (mainly the cars) on what life was like in bygone times. The only good things about today are the advance in medicine & technology but that`s about it. Ever since we moved into the millennium it`s been mostly downhill with reality TV , fake celebs, political correctness gone too far, drugs & a spineless corrupt government that doesn`t have a clue.

I miss Norman, he was like everyone’s favourite uncle...

[@MarkMahoney]

Yes i agree he was a good man

[@kimothy1701]

I still, when the mood takes me, do his walk where his arms swing in tandem with his steps, left foot forward left arm swings forward, right foot right arm instead of the opposing natural walk of left foot right arm, right foot left arm as you would if you were marching. It’s actually quite hard to keep up. Get a lot of puzzled looks as people can’t work out what’s wrong.

[@thefog7067]

This is so true! Me and my wife were discussing the same thing when we last watched The Good Life with the amount of cars out in the street you could see about 3! Even back in the 80s when I was a kid down the street I lived there was only 5 - 7 cars at the most. It makes me think of Brooks, the old man from the Shawshank Redemption. He's been in prison so long, his line in the movie is "I saw a car once now they're everywhere"

This is brilliant!.. and so interesting but I also felt sad that this era has well and truly gone, there was an eyre of innocence with a Norman Wisdom film...he was a grown up child desperately trying to get on in life and to understand his surroundings whilst being liked and loved...causing calamity as he went I could relate so much to him when growing up and I loved his movies!...I do miss Norman! 🙄

I was only talking about the early bird to a friend today who is a big Norman wisdom fan and explained to him I lived at 11 queen street where noman delivered milk to my house pictured 2 mins 31 seconds.

Thank you so much for sharing these locations.

[@MarkMahoney]

Any time!

[@richardweldon2062]

Apart from seeing the locations, it is wonderful to see how Norman Wisdom was such a brilliantly visual comedian. The walk or run away from camera has such an iconic look and looks easy to do, but it's not. Only Norman could make a simple performance entirely captivating.

[@MarkMahoney]

So true! Critics thought he was silly! He actually was very gifted!

[@johnpolo4544]

Like and appreciate your videos...makes me reflect and mourn a gentler time. Most of the actors/people now lost in the mists of time while buildings and objects remain, never seems right really.
