I wasn't overly fond of his films but have watched some, he was a bit too slapstick for me, I imagine Michael Crawford based a lot of his slapstick humour in 'some mothers do ave 'em' on him as well as doing his own stunts as well.

I’m sorry but I never could stand him, nor could my parents. He definitely wasn’t popular in our house.

The films are shown on Talking Pictures from time to time. I never liked his style of humour and still don't. Just as well we're all different

It's rare these are shown now, but when I was a boy, Norman Wisdom's films were often shown on the television. I used to think his mixture of slapstick, sight gags and corny jokes were hilarious and he was massively popular for decades. Always liked how he played misfits who somehow got one over authority figures and bullies. Also Norman Wisdom did his own stunts that made the films better.
