Series 1

Norman's fortunes take a turn when he purchases a monkey from an elderly man in the park and immediately begins amassing a fortune. However, fate is not inclined to let such good luck endure...

A severe thunderstorm forces Norman to seek refuge in an auction room. Inside, he experiences a series of strange accidents, including dodging an explosion, accidentally touching the Venus de Milo, and trying to evade a dangerous thug known as Mr. Big.

Are you a seven-stone weakling? Do you get sand kicked in your face? Even by women? Then follow Norman's example and get into uniform. Everybody respects a uniform - or so believes Norman. Yet he's too small to join the police force, nearly drowns as a lifeguard, and faints as a first-aid man! Finally, he goes for an interview as a night security officer...

When you die, you die. However, there's no assurance you'll make it if Norman is behind the wheel of the hearse!

Deirdre St. John Featherstone-Haugh is stunning, elegant, and cunning - and she has her sights set on Norman. Not out of attraction, but because she requires a partner in crime to secure a large sum of money. With amnesia, Norman is unwittingly drawn into her deceitful scheme. He is forced to masquerade as a prominent aristocrat and a former head-boy of Eton.

Cheer up - you are smarter than you think. At least, that's what Norman discovers when he becomes the star performer on a TV quiz show.

When Norman is present, anything can happen - and it usually does. Who else on a construction site could mistakenly guide the operator of a wrecking ball machine to demolish the restroom while the foreman is inside? After such a memorable mistake, Norman questions if life is still meaningful - a mindset that will take him into uncharted territory.
