A cliche I know but none the less true,
they don't make them like that any more.

he was a genuinely funny man, the pathetic little man who always won through in the end
apparently he was Charlie Chaplins favourite comedian.

Mr Grimsdale, Mr Grimsdale.

Post by: pookie on October 05, 2010, 08:56:29 AM: saw him a couple of times on stage - so so funny. A very talented and wonderful man. Not many comedians reduce me to tears of laughter these days, but Sir Norman did, time and time again. I also met him once at a Charity event in London - he was such a gentleman, very quiet, unassuming and a real twinkle in his eye. A sad sad day indeed. Sir Norman, thank you.

I remember that, it was superb.
The one thing that sticks most in my mind was the bit in 'The Bulldog Breed' when they cut the air hose to the diver's suit and he went off round the harbour like a balloon.
