I listened this morning to BBC Radio 5 and the family of Norman Wisdom, who had to take the decision to put Norman into a nursing home. The family have taken a great deal of criticism for this decision, but this documentary that will air showing the tough decisions they had to make is a tribute to Norman and shows the tough decisions families are faced with. The Secret Life Of Norman Wisdom will air on BBC2 TV tonight.

As we all grow older, we sometimes don't realise the burden we are on our younger family members. But, then again, we have the experience and the stories that make life worth living.

What I enjoyed most is that Norman moved into the residential home and found something he loved most: an audience. Although now, apparently, Norman has declined in both mind and body, he still plays for an audience. God love a national symbol, Norman Wisdom.
