Bill Owen This Is Your Life

[@merlinstwin7373]

I've never felt so sad as those last few episodes before Bill Owen died, when he was looking so poorly. I will always remember him for the talented comedic actor he was, including being absolutely brilliant at the physical bits. Amazing talent, much missed. LOTSW is my fave comedy of all time.

[@davyd5629]

Tom I loved your character and you would have made your dad so proud he was so amazing in the show as well

[@amyishere67]

Absolutely love Bill Owen he truly was such a great actor! much love from the U.S.

[@stevemaclaine4547]

God bless Bill,thanks for the great memories.

[@jackiejones6059]

he was a natural character , just loved Last of the summer wine. Fantastic person

[@awatchwoman]

Our most favourite family comedy ever, have watched it all of our married life - now 35 years and still watching it from recordings on TV. We tick off the shows in the book that records all the series. True comedy does not need foul language or risky scenes - it requires skill and a knowledge of the language and human reactions - just fab. Thank you Bill and Tom and all the actors in the show, love them all.

[@davethomas1120]

Thanks for sharing that Tom, amazing there was no sex no violence not even a cuss and yet every Sunday night I never missed it, there was something it had ,a special mix of talent and Bill just made it perfect, sadly missed, never to be repeated....................

[@richhughes7450]

The first few Series. they were cruder and low key swore and cussed. Clegg was also NOT a nervous wreck scared of women. He did not fear Norah or Ivy. He changed to becoming nervous and fearful of situations and women a few Series up the road and got progressively worse as the series went on to a degree at about the episode of Catching Digbies donkey where he met Marina, that he became a completely nervous wreck.

[@paulmoloney4160]

I miss him a great actor and a gas man and I loved him and Nora batty and ivy u will not get actors like them any more and cleggy all gone God bless them xx

[@darrellrobbins4444]

Bill Owen is very much loved here in Oklahoma. I don't know any one who doesn't love him and cherish him. Thanks Tom big love from America.

[@anarchistatheist1917]

Rest in peace Mr Bill Owen, and His Son Tom Owen. Both were great in last of the summer wine. Unfortunately they were both not working together at the same time.

[@elainesmith7512]

I LOVED his character Compo in "Last of the Summer Wine". Brilliant and so FUNNY! Rest in peace, and thanks for the many laughs and good memories of watching this show!

[@The373887]

I miss bill Owen so much in the last of the summer wine

[@awatchwoman]

Been a LOSW fan for 33 yrs or more, have a book we tick the ones we have seen in. Must say we laugh at every one of the scenes , even if we have seen them before. I believe it is THE best comedy series ever. Such class, no gore, no foul language,no sex,no violence - pure unadulterated comedy. That takes great actors and a great writer. Thank you for all the laughter we have enjoyed over the years and still do.

[@gordontaylor5373]

Hi, Tom. I absolutely loved your dad as Compo.

[@shirlegirling6830]

Last of the Summer Wine is one of the best programmes 👏👏🎉🎈🎉👍⭐️

[@williamyunker6979]

Absolutely the finest comedic actor on my life time. What a professional!

One of a kind they broke the mould when they made you xxx

[@rickyjones7282]

Bill Owen was the true BRILLIANCE!!!

[@bazalmighty]

Tom, you've done your dad proud already by your fine appearances. You take after him well and don't need to explain to us. He was a fine actor and hard to better, just as important to the show as Peter Sallis. You were the perfect replacement :)

[@michaelgarforth3526]

Love this man in LOTSW still watch it today.

[@robclark4507]

And he was a legend great guy

[@darin500038]

[@darin500038]

[@blootette]

[@kyte4201]

Just to say thank you so much

[@daviddutton3615]

Totally loved this programme Bill Owen was superb as were most of the senior actors alas it was never as good once Bill passed away

[@andrewwalker3312]

What a lovely tribute to a great character and fine actor

[@nolendunaway]

I dearly and truly miss this wonderful program

[@Tonithenightowl]

I can't believe I never made the connection of Bill and Tom being father and son. I'm an American so that might explain it lol First time I saw LOSW my favorite character was Bill. I was thinking, I wonder what he looked like when young... now I know. He kept that great head of hair, wonderful smile and I would KNOW that voice...anywhere. So many are gone but they are NOT forgotten. I have always LOVED British comedy and its been a treat seeing them again on YT along with many we Americans didn't know about. RIP Mr. Owen you are well loved by millions. What a wonderful legacy.:o)

[@tiglace]

Today would have been his birthday - God Bless Him

[@kvhvtke1935]

To me he is number1 from sapulpa Oklahoma

[@lyzfarrar7352]

This is my favorite show of all time. I love the whole cast. Thanks to PBS, for airing it. Also from Oklahoma, Norman.

[@OfficialOldeTanzOutdoors]

What a great series Last of the Summer Wine was..There could never re vamp that with anyone new

[@eirugsiongriffiths8563]

Bill Owen my favourite character,made me laugh. R.I.P. Had a tear when I watched Ellergy for fallen wellies,such a sad episode.

[@awatchwoman]

Me too and I only saw it last week.

[@gordontaylor5373]

@@awatchwoman I cried at that episode as well - and the funeral; show.

[@summerwinelover]

Really? An autobiography? Wow, I'm pouncing on that one ASAP! Love Bill Owen and Tom also!!! Yep, "Fallen Wellies" just tears me to shreds every time... and then Ivy and that pic of Sid...way deep down she did love him! and I feel sure he loved her too...

[@globalspiritualrevolutionmedia]

Watching the 1947 'When The Bough Breaks' along with Patrica Roc - Mr. Owen Was a Great Actor! I loved his character in 'When The Bough Breaks' - Great Man.

[@ginnylorenz5265]

I saw "When The Bough Breaks' here on youtube. Bill Owen was wonderful. I found him to be charming in a romantic role. Priceless. One of a kind. (By the way, I love your 'name'. Expresses exactly what we're experiencing right now. A thrilling time to be on Earth. Sending best wishes to you, from San Diego, CA.)

[@trevorthompson7604]

Loved bill/compo rest on peace

[@aljr357]

Bill Owen is my favourite actor from last of the summer wine . Sadly I'm from Canada and never got to see any of his other work as of yet but I keep looking. And thanks Mr. Tom Owen for doing this video.

[@180ballybollock]

+allan fulton look at the early carry on films hes in a couple of them

[@aljr357]

+180ballybollock thanks so much I'll have to buy them I just loved him in last of the summer wine and have been watching it since I was a kid in the 80s. I wish they would come out with more episodes before all the cast is gone. Even a Christmas special would make me happy .

[@stuartwrigglesworth9339]

Fantastic video

[@chrisredfieldjm]

LOTSW was a great show. There are several of my friends and I that hope that out golden years are like those in The Last of the Summer Wine. It might get a little hot here in Oklahoma in the summer, but I'm sure we'll make it happen. This show made an influence on my friends and I, and all the way up to my grandparents. Only a Great show can make three generations want to be as mischievous as Compo.

[@70sboy98]

Ten years on , have you achieved what you wrote then? Hope I do too. Hi from the UK.

[@chrisredfieldjm]

@@70sboy98 We are still preparing for those years. That said no one said the mischief couldn't start a little early!

[@calceylone]

Let me assure you that your dad was no doubt the best comic actor in the uk if not the world,

Thank you very much! I wish I could see the episode of This Is Your Life itself.

[@whiskeyriver4322]

I notice the BBC has finally closed down access to the show. Up until a few months ago, you could see almost every episode in it's entirety here on KZbin. What a shame; I certainly can't afford the price tag for the CD set. Bloody leaches…..

[@richardmachin2995]

dailymotion has most of the last of the summer wine episodes available to watch.

[@michaeldonovan231]

It's on the TV channel gold on sky

Was Tom walking around Holmfirth when he did this interview?

[@rebeccairvine8410]

Could you please upload the full program.

[@AR-jx6wr]

Rebecca Irvine the BBC will force it to be removed. They are nothing but a bunch of money hungry bastards.

[@divaden47]

@@AR-jx6wr Agreed! What really annoys me very much is that we pay a licence fee to the BBC, so why shouldn't we have free access to the programmes we have technically paid for??

[@chrishilton1490]

A total one off. RIP Compo. LOTSW will never be bettered.

[@interdec]

@ Whiskey River...you can afford it you know. You buy it, watch it, then sell it again on ebay. Probably get to watch it for free that way!

[@shicruisin7004]

Sad how you call him Bill, and not Dad.....

[@plasticbucket]

He will never be as good as his dad . B
