    1 9 7 4 – 1 9 7 6 (UK)
    20 x 30 minute episodes

    Norman Wisdom starred (again) as the little man who could never get things right.

    This time he was causing havoc in a city hospital, helping out a needy friend, and Bible-thumping on behalf of a charlatan Vicar.

    One episode provoked complaints when a depressed Norman tried to commit suicide by walking blindfolded across a busy street.

    Unsurprisingly, there was plenty of slapstick in the series, making this a popular programme with children. Guest stars included Frank Williams, Sam Kydd, wrestler Jackie Pallo and Dudley Sutton.

    By the 1976 series, Norman was a clerk in a builder’s office, where he encountered mix-ups with Linda the boss’s daughter, various items of construction machinery, double-glazing and his flatmate, Alec.

    The shows were written mainly by Lew Schwarz and Dick Sharples, with occasional contributions from John Kane and Jon Watkins.
