That's really spoilt my day........
I remember watching him with my Grandad who looked and acted just like Norman. Imagine having a grandad like that. He was ace. Lets hope we'll have some re-runs of his old films and perhaps the occasional Last of the Summer Wine (not to be confused with Top Gear).

thats two screen icons died this week ....

The policeman one was my favourite. Classic clean & funny.

a legend god bless him

Steve Berry (ex Top Gear) on Rock Radio Manchester 106.1 (www.rockradio.co.uk) this morning said he was in an interview with him once.

He said he tried to join the army at 14 (as there were no jobs in London) but was told he was too weedy and should go to Wales and be a miner to build himself up.

So he walked to Wales, worked as a miner and then 2 years later walked back and joined the Army.

Lot's of today's 14 year old's wouldn't even walk to the job centre to sign on.

Greatest respect to a self made old fashioned great britain.
