The archive footage I have posted a link to below are videos I found on the British Pathe website. I found these really interesting because they are from the 1950's which was the peak of Norman's career. They may not give me any information that I can use in my dissertation but they do help me to get a good idea of his fame and success at the time.

Description from website:
"This collection of newsreel clips is about the late Norman Wisdom. We have archive film of Norman playing cricket in 1956. In the same year Norman Wisdom is featured in a newsreel of the 1956 Motor Show - ever the joker! 1955 and wonderful colour footage of Norman Wisdom preparing for a photo shoot with his 2 year old son Nicholas Wisdom. We als have a 1957 film clip of Norman Wisdom making an appeal on behalf of the Cinematograph Trades Benevolent Fund and an 'on the hoof' interview with Norman Wisdom about his recent (1956) and future travels abroad and our interviewer gets Wisdom to demonstrate his hysterical laughter - Norman does so, and people in the background start laughing too."
