A fabulous film critic and a lovely man. He was the best presenter of BBC1's Film programme in my opinion God bless you Barry ❤ 😊

[@WitchInTheShadows]

Gorgeous sunrise and a beautiful peaceful location. RIP Mr & Mrs Norman 💐

[@ABPhotography1]

Another good one Paul, always liked Barry's quiet and thoughtful commentary on the latest movie releases over the years. I will never forget him. Beautiful Cemetery and a perfect resting place for him and his wife. RIP Barry Norman.

[@br377jono9]

And why not.... Paul has a great way of presenting his vlogs. The calmness of his voice, the back drops and a knowledge of the subjects encaptures the audience. This guy is for greater things. I look forward to seeing how he entertains a favorable audience!

Sky looked amazing so tranquil

[@geoffpoole483]

I didn't know Barry Norman had such a fascinating life before he presented "Film...." Living to a ripe old age and passing away in his sleep is a nice way to go. I remember him reviewing "Buster" starringPhil Collins in the title role and he was scathing. What affects the Jonathan Ross film programme is his being very well known beforehand. With Barry Norman, he just seemed to appear on tv one night and he wasn't too well-known at the time and lots of us grew up with him.

[@gilltagg3352]

No film critic has been the same since and you can’t beat Barry’s voice. Another great video but I did struggle with the speed up at the end as it does set off my motion sickness. 🤪

[@stuarttaylor3029]

Many thanks Paul, Barry Norman's background was fascinating and nice to see his grave, it wasn't just what Barry Norman said it was his delivery and the way that he said it, I always tuned into the film program even if you didn't like the film he was reviewing it was always great to watch him in action.

[@Chillednfunked]

It’s a very nice area in Hertfordshire, very safe.

What a blissful setting for such a pleasant man. No other host was anywhere near as good as Barry in my opinion, he was so fascinating and easy to watch and he gave the films he was reviewing an interesting in-depth critique. Glad to see he has such a picturesque and very cinematic resting place. What a beautiful dawn sky, you picked the right day. 😁👍

Beautiful place, Barry Norman was fab at his job he always made you feel it was worth watching.

I loved this early morning visit to Barry Normans grave at 4 o’clock ish in the morning,I’m always awake at that time. What a lovely peaceful way Barry died in his sleep. I always watched his great film review program. He and his wife are laid to rest in a beautiful place especially with the sunrise. Thanks Paul

[@michellemurray4256]

Remember Barry Norman, a very relaxed voice when giving his critique! Always had good vibes which I just remembered whilst watching this video! Even his grave has good vibes about it I think. Great one!

[@jacquelinehabgood-painter8867]

Loved the atmosphere of this podcast. Watching the red of the sunrise through the trees and its glow all around was just stunning. Such a beautiful place. Yes, a very interesting topic also. I didn't know that Barry Norman had died.RIP.

That beautiful morning sky. Barry Norman was always a pleasure to watch. He came from an era of people who had personality.

[@simonhives2592]

Great video about Barry Norman. Grew up watching him on the box in the 80s and 90s. Another sad loss

[@darranweston9425]

My memory of Barry Norman was from Spitting Image where he used to use a baby bottle as a nasal spray. He was a great journalist and critic, once again Paul you aced it with the reverence and respect you always shoe. Thank you 😊

I remembered him, he was a brilliant Celebrity. Do not fear, the beloved souls know you are there and they will not hurt or scare you.

That opening music from the "Film [year]" show was a blast of nostalgia. I always used to enjoy Barry Norman talking about films though I honestly don't remember any review in particular. Looks like a lovely peaceful cemetery.

[@janestirling7970]

Barry Norman did a lot for charity in stevenage, he was chairman of Stevenage community trust, it helped people who were down on their luck who couldn`t pay their bills, and that kind of thing, i`m pretty sure he was a Govener of a special school in stevenage too, i regularly used to see him shopping in Sainsburys, (everyone buys potatoes) he was very generous with his time, and looking out for others. The church at DAtchworth is a lovely church and can been seen from many vantage points arouns stevenage

I remember him as I was growing up. What a beautiful place and that sunrise was stunning!

What a lovely video, Barry Norman was the Man THE BEST nobody has come near him apart from Sir Michael Parkinson with regard to Film Reviews he knew his stuff if Barry said it was good it was! When he passed they gave him a lovely tribute, the Front Cover of Radio Times leaning on a stack of Film Cans was a superb picture, I have it framed. His Autobiography, "Memoirs Of A Film Lover" - And Why Not? Is a super read very witty in places he had a dry sense of humour I miss him not being around so much, he was such a well respected man in the film industry. Whenever I hear the famous theme music to his programme it always brings a smile to my face, this was Barry's Theme! So nice to see his final resting place with his beloved wife, many thanks for posting this so interesting. RIP Diana & Barry. - Mark - Ex Cinema Projectionist - Wallasey - Wirral. 3/7/22

[@UnusualThings1]

Cheers Mark, yes he was a legend. 🙏 🎥

[@philipcave4303]

I grew up watching the film series he did as a teenager and always enjoyed them, something about his voice and air of knowledge that gave his opinions on the films he reviewed really addictive, and you're right Johnathon Ross couldn't hold a light to him.

[@gookey9924]

Barry had that relaxing late night voice .His headstone inscribed with "see you in the morning" Imagine if they had put "...and why not ! ".

[@trevorbrown6654]

Barry Norman's father was also the producer of 'The Cruel Sea' (which you mention) and also directed many episodes of cult tv favourites like 'The Avengers' and 'The Saint' in the 1960s. His father also died of lung cancer aged 81. And although you didn't pick up on it, I notice the grave next to the one you visited was for an 'Oliver Norman' who I believe was one of his grandchildren and sadly died just a few months after being born. Incidentally that churchyard looks so peaceful and quiet. What a beautiful place to be laid to rest in.

[@royalordinance]

I sat directly behind him and his wife on the H37 bus Lovely couple. Few months later he had passed away. I had no idea he and she were so talented.

[@michellehooper661]

[@jadejones8771]

Another superb video Paul fascinating facts about the late great Barry Norman

[@mjsproat]

Barry was also a great influencer on thr film industry. His criticism of films that seemed to celebrate films depicting violence against women was widely supported. I also recall his story of when he interviewed John Wayne and laughed when John suggested America should send troops into a situation with which he politically disagreed. Barry thought he was joking. John's assistants had to literally hold John back from attacking Barry who terminated the interview! Your series bring back odd memories of your subjects. Thank you.

[@michglades5468]

Oh yes ! I remember him. His voice was very calm and steady when he would give his views. Always smart. Beautiful place, and the sun raise was just perfect the colour! You really are dedicated Paul to this job, very caring, respectful . I can no longer walk far, so you do the job for me, and many more can see these beautiful Graves and churches . Huge Thank you Paul xxx

His wife Diana Norman wrote some absolutely wonderful historical novels. To me they have very few equals among the genre. If you are a reader of such please look them up. My favourites are The Morning Gift and The Vizard Mask.

Brilliant episode. Loved Barry Norman, great to stay up late as a teenager and watch him. Firm, but fair as you say Paul! Great setting and great time of the day!

[@jgscatsandthings5208]

So cool Paul I really enjoyed this. I do remember Barry Norman being a film critic. It's the times films really were good, and getting an in depth idea about the newest one out, was cool to hear, at the time. Beautiful place you were out, and looking good seeing the sun come up too.

[@helencheadle5285]

Wow! The early bird catches the spirits Paul! It was great of you to get up so early to visit this beautiful little church yard, and with the glorious pinky/red Dawn sunshine warming the earth and lighting the sky,church and even your face. Stunning. I really enjoyed watching Barry. The film critic…as you said. Whether you agreed or not, that was his job and I always thought him totally fair! Did you notice there were just four days between his birth and his wife’s, same year,month, just four days apart. I miss Barry still doing that program…times move on so quickly these days, I don’t suppose there is s place for it anymore, but more is the pity. Thankyou Barry for the years of pleasure you gave to so many of us who watched and listened to. Once again, huge thanks to you Paul, for getting up so early and research done to rte,, us all about Barry’s life,marriage and ear,y life, plus stories around that time, his brother,wife and finally two daughters. It was a lovely gravestone, with the comment “See you in the Morning!” You
