How very true!
Spike Milligan was hilarious, one might even say genius!

Norman Wisdom was, well about as funny as toothache!

At least he was consistent I suppose. And as for Lee Evans a poor imitation of a poor subject.

Each to his own I guess.

Norman Wisdom

Watching on iPlayer - His Story.

I've read his bio so I know what's coming but it doesn't change what I know.

1. He was a genius and bloody good bloke.

2. His father was a bastard of the highest order...

My Russian missus just knows him as 'Pitkin!' - they had him on Soviet telly....
