Norman is a British comedy television series which was originally broadcast on ITV in 1970.[1] It starred Norman Wisdom as a man who quits his job with the Inland Revenue out of boredom to find a new more exciting life, but runs into chaos at whatever job he turns his hand to. All episodes are now believed to be lost.

It marked Wisdom's return to television after more than a decade as a film star. He followed it with two further ITV sitcoms Nobody Is Norman Wisdom (1973) and A Little Bit of Wisdom (1974-1976).
