British TV and Films Stars We Lost in 2024 | January to June

[@kathrynhoward9738]

Thank you so much for paying tribute to Michael Jayston because he wasn't remembered in the baftas,NTA or at the royal variety show.God Bless everyone who died this year x

[@stevestannard6004]

A great voice.

[@stuviewtv]

Such a shame that he wasn't mentioned in those tributes. A fine actor.

[@TonyHesketh-i4i]

One of the greats should have been remembered RIP

[@EleanorPeterson]

I enjoyed Michael's understated but intense portrayal of 'Quiller' in the TV spy series, too.

[@awall1701]

What a lovely tribute to those who have sadly passed in 2024. Thank you.

[@stuviewtv]

Many thanks.

[@EleanorPeterson]

It's always sad to lose people, but I'm very impressed with this style of presentation when covering bad news. It's calm, thoughtful, respectful, perfectly paced, and handled with marvellous dignity. It's especially nice that there's been no lazy use of a computer-generated narrator's voice. However sophisticated the software engineers claim their latest AI creations are, they simply don't sound real enough. You can tell immediately that they don't CARE about what they're saying. Using one on a video such as this would have been disrespectful and in shockingly bad taste, so full marks to Stuart for keeping the 'human' in 'humanity'. Thank you.

[@stuviewtv]

Many thanks for your kind words.

[@furnessborn]

As a fellow Barrowvian Dave Day was a great day of remembrance and fun. Thousands of bikers from all over the country converged and enjoyed events and music throughout the day. I met him a few times, lovely man. RIP Dave Myers.

[@stuviewtv]

That's wonderful to hear.

[@niklar55]

That was an awful lot of people to lose in just half a year! As a small boy the first film I saw was Miranda, with Glynis Johns. I fell in love with the sad mermaid, at around 5 years old, and a portion of my heart, was with her ever since. RIP Glynis. .

[@eveb446]

Ian Lavender will be lovingly remembered as Private Pike, in Dad's Army. He was a great actor. Thank you for the joy you gave to all of us.

[@stuviewtv]

Absolutely.

[@AKBrechin]

Naturally there are many of these roundups at this time of year, this is by far the best I’ve come across. Beautifully written and lovingly narrated. Thank you for sharing.

[@stuviewtv]

Many thanks for your kind words.

[@fus149hammer5]

They are all irreplaceable Stu but inevitable as it was, losing Ian Lavender hurt especially knowing he was the very last Dads Army actor. Dave Myers passing was a real punch to the the stomach. A genuine nice man who was the same off-screen as he was on. That tribute to him from Si and the 45000 bikes plus the thousands who lined the route just go to prove the fact. It hit me as well being a former biker. Still time for more. Unfortunately, the clock hasn't struck midnight and we've just lost Johnny Walker. 😢

[@stuviewtv]

The death of Dave Myers hit me the most too. As you say, a genuinely nice man who was the same off camera as on. The Dave Day tribute ride was truly astonishing.

[@shirleyn546]

Steve Wright, that one hit me, RIP

[@patricksmith4424]

Yeh, that was a total shock. Can't believe he is not still about.

[@2760ade]

Oh dear! We lost some diamonds this year didn't we! What worries me even more though, is that a lot of them were younger than me!

[@nathelondon3719]

Don’t worry God hasn’t forgotten you

[@jeremypearson6852]

I left the UK in 1982 for the US, so I don’t remember a lot of these actors growing up. The two that stick in my mind are Ian Lavender and Nicholas Ball since I watched their. I’ve also forgotten just how old a lot of the stars I remember from UK tv are since I haven’t seen them for so long. An expat in Florida.

[@barrie5852]

Thank you for this reminder of the talented people we have lost 2024 not just the big stars but also those who just loved doing what they did.

[@tonytrower3888]

So much talent will be sorely missed

[@chathamabs2011]

Thank you for taking the time to do this. It really is an excellent production.

[@stuviewtv]

That's great to hear. Thank you so much.

[@sazfretz1945]

I recognised Adrian Schiller from his role as Pasha Verdinikov in "Death in Paradise". I was grieved when our Pikey passed last year. Ian Lavender was comic gold.

[@carolebarker2195]

So many stars we lost in 2024, and you only did the first half of the year so far! I'm a bit gobsmacked tbh, I didn't know that most of them had died. I knew about Ian Lavender, Steve Wright and Dave, the Hairy Biker guy. But Christian Rodska? I used to love him in Follyfoot, he was also in an episode of "In Loving Memory" as a randy window-cleaner. Also never knew about Tony Green, Georgina Hale, and Michael Culver. He was a really good actor, some very good performances, he will be missed, as will Michael Jayston. Such calibre those old-school actors had, thanks for this Stu, enjoyed it.

[@stuviewtv]

Hi Carole. You know it's been a bad year for losing stars when the video has to be made in two parts! So many great character actors this year that maybe didn't as always get the credit they deserved.

[@carolebarker2195]

@@stuviewtv No, they didn't, Stu. You're absolutely right. We didn't appreciate them enough.

[@TubbsFarquhar]

This channel is one of those rare gems one seldom finds on YT. Well-made, respectful, and I especially love that you cover the oft-forgotten character actors. Consider me subscribed! And wishing you a Happy New Year!

[@stuviewtv]

That's great to hear! Many thanks and Happy New Year to you!

[@stevelarkin3285]

Lovely video Stu, and only today the sad passing of DJ Johnnie Walker,All the Best For 2025

[@glenjones6980]

Many an hour spent on the roads listening to Steve Wright followed by Johnnie so to hear of Johnnie passing away is a blow. That's going to be one heck of a party up there tonight with those two spinning the tunes.

[@MrDannyDetail]

Thanks Steve. Hope you have a fantastic New Year.

A lot of talent lost there, id like to thank them all for their service. ♥️.

[@stuviewtv]

Absolutely.

[@SuSang666]

Thanks for the video...we've lost some great stars. Just a note that I think it is Deborah Kerr in the photo with Robert Mitchum (The Sundowners) and not Glynis Johns.

[@lokizig]

Thank you for this wonderful tribute Many of the people in it I didnt know they had died

[@katiecollison6629]

R.I.P. to them all we lost some really great people in 2024,but Steve Wright & Dave Myers hit me the most then Johnny Walker yesterday

[@sarahbatsford4791]

At 69 I can remember most of them. Must admit I was quite tearful watching this. Thank you for the memories❤❤❤

[@deborahwillis1396]

We miss you so much Steve Wright😢

[@SunShine-dk6rk]

Hi Stuview, Thanks for your uploads over the year, "Wishing yourself,loved ones and fellow viewers a super 2025 ❤❤❤"

[@stuviewtv]

Thank you! Wishing you a very happy new year.

[@spencermoore2468]

A big thank you for this Stu. Very much appreciated.

[@Revstevearmourae]

John Savident did an excellent turn in Coronation Street. Haven't seen that for years. Do they have any great actors like, John, Pat Phoenix & the many others in the 60s & 70s? I remember John immediately from his small but memorable role in Waterloo. Mr Bennet of Take Hart passing on, I'm sure hit many of us.

[@ramblingsofafatbrokenman1211]

Thank you for a lovely tribute to many actors & performers across the arts. If I could, I'd like to add the starring role of Will "The Wolfman" in the wonderful film Restless Natives to the tribute of Vincent Friell.

[@stuviewtv]

Many thanks.

[@loupiscanis9449]

[@alanglasgowbassist]

Great video Stu. Always sad to remember those great actors&actresses whom we have lost. I thank them all for the great performances and memories they have given us. A few in there that I hadn’t heard about😢. On a lighter note, best wishes to you for 2025 and thanks for your great videos.

[@stuviewtv]

Many thanks as always Alan. Hope you have a wonderful New Year!

[@Sydroo1969]

Pat Heywood gone and Olivia Hussey just died the other day from the best Romeo and Juliet film ever.

[@midnightmosesuk]

A couple of these caught me out, especially Anne Nightingale. I had no idea she'd died. 😢

[@GeoffWelch-pd4zg]

Me neither...😢😮

[@nathelondon3719]

Neither did I

[@davidtrim6093]

Michael Jayston should be remembered for his portrayal of Peter Guillam in the 70's TV adaptation of Tinker, Tailor. I also remember him in the title role of Quiller.

[@carolebarker2195]

He was also in "Cromwell" with Richard Harris in the title role.

[@ronaldbayne1431]

Very nice narrative. Thanks. Rmb5*

[@stuviewtv]

Many thanks.

[@pod9538]

THANK YOU. ❤

[@altosanon]

I always remember Adrian Schiller for a very effective drink driving advert, where he spoke directly to the camera and played various parts in the unfolding tragedy.

[@suededogs9670]

[@Julie-sm7sp]

@stuviewtv Thank you to you too Stu for all the enjoyment you've given us in 2024, I hope you and Lisa have a wonderful 2025.

[@Flamboyant-randomist]

Whilst it's shocking the amount of people we've lost this year, I'd just like to point out that Into the labyrinth was actually an HTV production & never appeared on the bbc. I loved the series when I was little & it even gave me niggtmares, Steve Wright's passing was one of those rare announcements that actually upset me.

[@bwilson5401]

Nicolas Ball was also in Red Dwarf of all things.Excellent versatile and charismatic actor.

[@jane1975]

He also played a brief small role in tv drama, Cold Feet. But he will be best known as Hazell.

[@bwilson5401]

@jane1975 Never watched Cold feet, but Hazell was great.

[@ashdrive]

This is great. I've seen a number of these tributes on KZbin, but this one is very in-depth...👍

[@stuviewtv]

Many thanks.

[@patrickclaeys6512]

[@stuviewtv]

Thanks so much Andrea. Happy New Year to you!

[@QuoPaperPlane]

I think I mentioned in a previous upload of yours regarding those that we lost in previous years, but as I can't stomach anything on TV or radio, I just don't get the latest tragedies unless I catch someone like you who announces those we lost. I'm genuinely shocked at seeing more of those familiar faces of TV and films that I grew up with, no longer here. Georgina Hale was a particular kick in the groin as I fairly often view episodes of Budgie with Adam Faith. Georgina played Budgies wife and was an absolute magnet for top notch acting. No disrespect to those parting and their relatives but noticing all these performers dropping like flies brings it home even more that I'm actually getting old now. All those I really admire are older than me so what happens when literally none are around when I've one foot in the grave, so to speak.🤔

[@carolebarker2195]

Yes, it does pull at the heart-strings when you realise these familiar faces are no longer here. I always thought Nicholas Ball deserved a better career after Hazell. I remembered Georgina Hale in a few of the Ken Russell films I've seen.

[@stuviewtv]

I often think the same. As we get older, so obviously do the people we admire. Every year there seems less and less of them around but at least we can continue to enjoy them on our screens.

[@ModelsExInferis]

I'll admit, most of these I didn't know. I thought John Savidant had died years ago to be honest. Mum's a Corrie fan so I remember him well! Ian Lavender will be sadly missed, as will Dave Myers. But the two I'll miss the most, and whose death's affected me personally, are William Russell and Michael Jayston. Being the Whovian I am I was very active on the convention circuit between 1996 and the mid 2000's and was lucky enough to meet both of these wonderful actors! As you'd expect, they were both lovely men, always had time for a chat, always kind to their fans. I like to think that all the previous DW actors who've passed have regenerated somewhere! It's not so far-fetched, we've all been something else in this planet's 4.3 billion year history afterall! Happy New Year Stu!

[@stuviewtv]

Great to hear that you managed to meet them both and that they were really nice. Happy New Year to you!

[@johnklimcke8875]

Well done again stu looking forward to more of the same in 2025.👍 Hope you have a healthy new year. 🤞🍻

[@fjmoody]

Vincent Friel was probably most famous for his lead role in Restless Natives, in which Bernard Hill played his father. Both sadly missed.

[@hogwashmcturnip8930]

Came here to mention that! One of my favourite films and very underrated. With a soundtrack by Big Country

[@AlisonJones-w7i]

[@xr6lad]

John Savident - as we don’t get Coronation Street here in Australia (well not on free to air) I’ll always remember him as Jumbo and the scene with the Minister and Sir Humphrey crammed in to a sleeper compartment discussing a foreign dignitary.

[@stuviewtv]

Oh yes, a classic little scene that!

[@martinnevey7258]

Vincent Friel was most famous for his starring role in the 80s cult classic restless natives....Great film worthy of its status

That wasn’t Glynis sitting next to Mitchum, it was Deborah Kerr in the Sundowners

[@stuviewtv]

Absolutely. My mistake.

[@LittleMissGrosser]

Glynis Johns was absolutely amazing in Mary Poppins and Vault of Horror. I liked Ian Lavender in Dad's Army and as Derek I EastEnders. I remember Steve Wright on the radio, TOTP and as one of the contestants on a Christmas special of Bullseye. I loved Robin on Strictly Come Dancing, especially Lisa Riley. Ewan McIntosh was so good in independent comedy horror Shed of the Dead. John Savident was brilliant as Fred Elliott in Coronation Street. I remember Mr. Bennett in Hart Beat when I was younger. I liked the Hairy Bikers. Si and Dave were so good. I miss Dave. Bullseye was a favourite of mine as a little girl and I loved Tony and Jim. Bernard Hill was great alongside Pauline Collins in Shirley Valentine. Supergran was hilarious and I loved it when I was a kid. Jeanette Charles was such a good sport in The Naked Gun and Austin Powers.

[@stuviewtv]

Some wonderful people gone this year.

[@nathelondon3719]

I only really knew Georgina Hale as the second T-bag in the Thames children's series.

She was also in the itv sitcom Surgical spirit.

[@jane1975]

She was in The Sweeney as well and apparently played Ruth Ellis, the last woman to be hanged in the UK.

[@donnawaldron3261]

Georgina Hale was in a very good docu/film about Ruth Ellis. Equally good but different actress was Dance with a Stranger. Both free on KZbin I think.

She also was in the Sweeney too and played T-Bag in the children’s tv series.

Which calendar are you using? Since when has November been between January and June? Or can’t you read?

[@GeorgeAndrews-v3h]

Sorry but any actor/actress who has ever appeared in a soap opera or reality show is unrated. Do not like the shows. Never will. On the other hand I do respect them and they are sorely missed. Bless them

[@jane1975]

You will find that practically every actor or actress has had a least one role on a soap at one point in their career. It doesn’t make them any less of an actor, it depends on what their agents give them and whether they like the script or not and will take it, 9 times out of ten an actor may be out of work at long periods of time so a lot are grateful for the work. Casualty didn’t become a soap until the turn of the century, before that it was a Medical Drama and many well known actors made cameo appearances in it.
