British TV and Films Stars We Lost in 2023 | A Tribute

[@beebee8018]

It is so scary. When a kid you grow up with these actors on your TV set & suddenly they are old and pass away! Life is very short. 😢

[@carolanne139]

Yes agree!

[@leedelmont4Yeshua]

Amen.... where are they now?? blessings... :) Think Yeshua... take care

[@vinnycbr1851]

So much so when they pass in their 50's .

I found Michael Gambon when he starred in an English-language version of Maigret. He is such a treat to watch.

[@mogznwaz]

It was The Cook The Thief His Wife Her Lover and The Singing Detective for me

[@stephenguppy7882]

Yes, for me he is the definitive Maigret.

[@cyclist68]

Starting with Ronnie Corbett in early 2016, the last seven years has been like watching my childhood memories disappear in front of me.😟

Agreed ✌️

[@pip393]

When viewing the memories of my childhood in England from here in the United States, there appears to be almost nothing I can relate to. Saddest thing evermore. 😪.

That's old age for you, all part of life.

[@derekporter7658]

Bloody hell! I never knew we lost that many! Brigitte Forsyth was a shocker.

[@compostcorner5934]

Yes . She was great in whatever happened to the likely lads . So young back then ,and that's how I remember her , when we see them a lot older it's hard to grasp ,but then I realise I was only a young boy then and now 62 myself. Time is a flyer that's for sure

Lovely tribute. I watch almost all British TV shows via Britbox here in America. I discovered Paul O'Grady two years ago from his show about dogs from Battersea Dog and Cat Home and instantly fell in love with him. I was incredibly gutted by his passing, His like is rare indeed. He spent his life helping people and animals.

A wonderful man indeed.

If you havent seen it a sci fi series called red dwarf is really funny

I hadn't realised just how many of our film and TV favourites had passed away in the past 12 months. Thanks for invoking some lovely memories.

[@eh-i1841]

I didn’t either.There are so many that I really enjoyed watching,through many years.

[@1toshi32]

Some really memorable people going last year. Ones that I grew up with. Micael Parkinson. David McCallum. Lilly Savage. Glenda Jackson hit hard. She was such a consummate actress. I know we all have to go but always sad to hear of their passing. Normally I don't recognise a lot of the people shown on the screen as passing but I knew a lot of these actors. RIP all of them. Thanks for sharing.

I was very saddened to learn of the death of Michael Parkinson. I remember the interviews he conducted with Robin Williams...sheer chaos, with an eccentric flair only Robin could provide. They seemed to play off each other so well with Michaels probing questions leading Robin to showcase his fine improvisational skills. Michael Parkinson was an exceptional gentleman.

Very nicely done, although I personally wish you’d included Benjamin Zephaniah. Although primarily known as a poet he was an actor having appeared in Peaky Blinders. Paul O’Grady and Len Goodman broke me though. Both lost too soon, especially Paul who could and should have had at least another 20 years left. I watched a similar video about American stars we lost last year and yours was a million times better and more respectful. Thank you x

[@davefordham14]

It's so full of nostalgia and flashbacks to endless hours of entertainment, laughter and joy that all these stars gave us over the years. I'm filled with sadness of the happy kind and most of you will know what I mean. When we watch something like this, we think of our own time here on earth and all the wonderful experiences as well as the tragedies and anxieties that we must all face. But one thing I believe with as much conviction as anyone can possible have, is that there is never an "end". It is just a doorway to the next thing - whatever it may be. Our memories, experiences, pains, loves, thoughts and actions are all perfectly preserved in the eternal library of consciousness. There are no whys or hows in the infinite - just more additions to the endless circle of life. May they all rest in peace.
