Brian Murphy, This Is Your Life, 5 Jan 1998

[@citizenbidet3141]

Brian Murphy is such a lovely man, and a ridiculously versatile talent too!

[@andree824]

What a lovely, lovely man. Whenever I need cheering up, I always put on an episode of George & Mildred. Never fails to brighten my mood 😊

[@garydunn3037]

I have the entire series of "George & Mildred" and I "Love" this and other "Sit-coms" of that time. We just don't get Comedy like we used to have. I salute you Brian, and also Richard O'Sulivan who was the "Man About the House" and later in "Robin's Nest" Great Comedy" which I also have on DVD. Great Shows from a By-Gone Era.

[@CinemaMusic55]

The best ever edition of this program ever made. A genuine man.

[@regplasma7906]

Brian is a national treasure .George and Mildred was / is one of the best comedys ever made.

[@anthonywalker2360]

I love it

[@PaulEcosse]

2024 still going strong. Legend.

[@pandorazbox9659]

Tears are Rolling down my cheeks. Not only a great actor, but a lovely man.

[@wesmatron]

If only Yootha could have been there.

[@colinmathura-jeffree9829]

Absolutely

[@charliedrosario999]

Beautiful, this is a genuine classic.

[@mightyquinnproductions8672]

A real talent deserving a This is your life tribute and a great person in real life.

[@mohammaddavoudian7897]

One of the best episodes I've ever watched. Never knew what a fine human being Brian was/is. A very kind, genuine and good man.

[@zaaraha5092]

Wow, what a lovely man, until today I didn't know anything about him ,he is such a lovely all-round man. Unsung hero and I hope he is well wherever he is

[@nonnayoubuzinnes1669]

The fact every single comment on here is so positive shows how loved Brian is. My family knew someone who worked at Thames TV in the 70s and they said him and Richard O'Sullivan in particular were really kind and charming, nobody had a bad word to say about them.

[@stevegordon5689]

Yootha Joyce just saying "George" brings back my childhood !

[@andrewhubbard4044]

Brian Murphy is one of Britain's greatest comedy actors and thankyou for all the laughs god bless you also RIP Yootha Joyce ❤

[@MusicLoverMusicLover-es6mi]

George and Mildred One of the finest sitcoms that Britain has ever produced.

It's still funny no matter how many times you watch it

[@ajsmith5295]

A very sharp witted man. Love his style of acting and has done more than people think

[@SuzyQ334]

Back in the early 70s as a teenager I worked as a nanny in Hampstead for another celeb. Over Christmas we went to a Boxing Day party at Brian's house. He was a lovely man and it was a lovely afternoon. I have this memory of an old-fashioned sing-song and the piano player was the divine Nick Brimble (Grantchester, among other great TV shows). At the time I remember wishing I worked for Brian and his then missus Carol!

[@Infinityandbeyonde]

In lockdown I've been watching George n Mildred for the first time. We weren't allowed to watch it when I was a kid in the '70s...my mum only liked BBC! Really love stories and scripts, all the episodes were funny ♥️Great to see This is Your Life as well

[@prowelsh56]

Brian and yootha had magic on screen chemistry. So sad she didn't live to do more comic world needs more people like her . She was born same year as my mama 1927.

Wonderful, funny, and kind man. He starred in one of my favourite sit coms - George and Mildred. They just simply dont make them like that anymore. Happy days then. The days we had proper entertainment on TV.

[@SkipSpotter]

What a very decent down to earth chap. A great actor. Thanks for sharing this video Mr.Tripp :)

[@faithmapstone9982]

Yootha gave so much, to so many.Sorry she couldn't give so much joy to herself. Sometimes we find ourselves getting completely lost & at times frightened of what lies ahead. For her, she blocked the way with alcohol. She lives on, in the make believe World. Some actors can look a little dated on screen, as the years pass. Yootha doesn't & I'm sure she will go on giving joy for years to come! 🌻♥️

[@robertbest9156]

A lovely tribute to Yootha. Did you know she was married to Glyn Edwards ( Dave the barman in Minder) ??? I still watch Man about the house & George & Mildred on ITV 3. Robert from Manchester

[@theonlybuzz1969]

What a wonderful actor, full of laughter and kept it clean in the various series that he was in, I’ll always remember him in George and Mildred, they worked together very fluently. Good on you Brian, you have done a wonderful job with your life with helping others in fostering children that needed a home to be in. You must be about 90 hrs old now and I would like to wish you all the very best wishes for the future. Thanks. Phil

A fantastic actor, and beautiful person.

[@andrewparker8806]

Brilliantly naturally talented funny man, he made comedy look effortless, I grew up watching M.A.T.H & George and Mildred, Yootha Joyce was also awesome in those shows & I can’t believe it’s almost 40 years since she tragically lost her life at the early age of 53. Great memories though. 😢

What a comedy legend is Brian, Yootha and Brian have got to be one of the greatest comedy double acts, there must have been a lot of marriages like theirs. Shame we recently lost another great from this show the lovely Ruth Madoc.

I cannot believe I’ve never known the real name of George from George & Mildred. It was one of my fave sitcoms along with Man about the House. The good old days when TV had a remote control with 4 excellent channels.

I know everyone mentions George and Mildred but man about the house was equally blessed by George and Mildred..a great screen couple.
