Hearing that people are watching a programme on Norman Wisdom gets me everytime too, I think I might cry.

A great and talented character - perhaps last of the great comedy actors?
Have any of his films been on since his death?

lovely story with a very harsh upbringing.

Interesting Leslie Philipps angle: not all gushing

And I never realised that was Honor Blackman in the uniform... paperbag

I thought the Leslie Phillips interview was good as well.

Two of his films on today.
One I love one I haven't seen before.

I love On the beat. My favourite bit is the medical, where they discover he can sing, so they use another eye chart where he has to hit the notes (eg B sharp, C major) to pass.

And then the walk over on one stilt.

So daft. So wonderful.

Tough story about his dad!

What a b'stard eh.

A proper little rags to riches story.
