Well too start i remember wanting to get this film taped years ago off the BBC, since i watched bits of the other ones we had on VHS (A Stitch In Time, The Bulldog Breed, The Square Peg, On The Beat),i've watched the film more recently so i have a clearer image of it.

The film starts off with Norman on his bike, on his way to the superstore where he works, falling of his bike and causing all sorts of commotion, in the store where Norman works, there is a plot of buglers (obviously) plotting to burgle the store (they do even in front of Normans eyes!!!) but he and his girlfriend (who he sings too, my least favourite part of the movie) find out about the plot and stop it, leaving Norman with the job he wanted so much, to be a window dresser!

and now to my main question, did it deserve a BAFTA?.... well definitely yes for best newcomer, i enjoyed this movie but as my dad said "it's not as good as the ones we have on video" and well i agree, so overall i think it did deserve a BAFTA for it's category....

so overall i enjoyed this film , like all of Normans films i've seen....
