Another comedy legend dies.......

It's a sad loss, even in his later years and in poor health he had that fantastic comedy streak. Not only a national icon here in the UK but also, bizarrely, in Albania where his were the only western (as in from the west, not cowboys) films broadcast.

At least maybe now we'll have some decent repeats on the tellybox.

Sir Norman,

I always remember that scene, not sure which movie it was, where he's dragged around an estate by his lawnmower. I think recently it was used in some advertising or another, very funny man.

95 years- good on you Norman, you'll be missed.
