Charlie Chaplin described him as his favourite clown.

Grew up watching his films. Have them all on DVD. A true comic genius. Will be sadly missed. Rest in Peace sir Norman.

He did well for 95. RIP.

What was the name of the films he did with the Mr Grimsdale character? They really were great films of the times.

BBC were doing so well until the end where they said that there was no call for his type of humour anymore. (or words to the same effect) Idiots.
