[@iffyrafiq6074]

I absolutely loved Sid James and still love him to this day. I loved all the Carry on films and still watch them when I need a pick me up.

[@MarkHarrison733]

Cohen punched pregnant women.

[@trevorsutton8427]

I still watch him in the carry on movies one of the greatest actors of all time doesn't get the credit he deserves.

[@theshadow100]

Kenneth Williams was the funniest actor of the carry on films

[@glendaewhite5025]

Wonderful man brilliant actor I especially loved him in the carry on movies RIP Sydney James love from Sydney Australia to your family

My all-time favourite actor !. We saw him at the Windmill Theatre in Great Yarmouth in the early 70's when I was 9/10 and a snobby, old-bag complained to my mum that I was laughing too loud and too much - my mum, who was always the perfect lady, told this woman to shut-up and suggested she try cracking her face into a smile !. Sid was superb that night, absolutely brilliant !

[@PIERCED6966]

What an incredible wife.

[@jnuttso1]

Sid James was in everything back then 🎥 he must have had to learn so many lines 📃 classic comedy is just so wonderful happy to say you have a new subscriber 😁

[@user-uj2xq3jj7g]

Most of SIDS work was Improvisational unplanned and extremely witty

[@mortalclown3812]

The wonderful actor/comedian Dick Shawn had a similar ending. He was onstage and had just told a joke about dying and was lying on the stage floor as laughter filled the theatre... and then someone finally realized that he wasn't ok. To a lot of us in 'the business', that may be a perfect farewell. Not sure how these gents felt about it. Rest in peace, Sid and Dick... Bon voyage 💫

[@KNOPFLERSGOD]

What a great comic actor, and a great laugh.

[@crash42modder13]

His wife Valerie James, died 8 May 2022.

@@crash42modder13 oh no 😢

[@fishandchips1762]

​@@crash42modder13 Yes on Sid's birthday 😢.

[@luzsun8877]

How poetic ...the way he died . Electric personality and face ☺️legend

[@andywright3450]

The one and only Sid James genius

[@Sol-Cutta]

Valerie never tried to stop him gambling..I've witnessed this rose glasses bs on my own mother and dead father, she says so much bs of how they were together. To ease their own guilt. She didn't try to stop him? She had his salary paid into a account only she could access and she gave Sid a allowance per week of which when it was gone it was gone which led to Sid taking roles only if they would pay half and half. Half thru the books and the other in pocket..this is known fact, and proven time again. She was legendary towards his gambling.

[@JimTimber]

My favourite comic actor !!

[@jadejones8771]

Sid James genius

[@limeyosu2000]

Good documentary shone the light on some real facts I saw another one and it suggested he was always cheating on his wife. His wife def stuck with him to the end.

[@minekara6407]

He was also in Trapeze and was also a good performance

[@Sol-Cutta]

8 years younger than Valerie's father... kin ell.

[@theshadow100]

To me Kenneth Williams was the funniest one in the movies,

[@laurasands8322]

Why does the wooden doll behind Jack Douglas look like Christopher Biggins??

[@limeyosu2000]

Was thinking the same

[@LordHeath1972]

17:38 "With the lady in question". Ouch.

[@craigmelvin5206]

I noticed that she couldn't say her name

[@solidstateresistor2485]

12:15 Why would you post that image?

[@kingy002]

What's wrong with it?

[@mortalclown3812]

This is definitely saying a lot about you vs the innocent photo. Think about it, please.

[@hyperhybrid7230]

My mother used to call him George for some reason.

[@nathelondon3719]

Sid was a multi talented non conventional looking star. He was also a gentleman. Once a taxi driver made a crude antisemitic remark, Sid a former boxer who was Jewish though kept nothing punched his lights out!

[@MarkHarrison733]

Cohen financed the bombing of British civilians in Palestine during the 1940s.

[@MarkHarrison733]

Cohen was never a boxer.

[@marinakaye8284]

Saw a bit of Steve McQueen in Sid.

[@theshadow100]

He did have a affair with Barbara Windsor ,me and Kenneth knew what was going on,and her boyfriend Ronnie knew,so he asked his driver to talk with Sid many times ,that’s contributed to his heart attack

[@PrincessDianaFriend]

6:40 - It seems that Hancock had a really problem with jealously, he got rid of Sid and he got rid of Kenneth Williams when he became the star of the show. Hancock for all his talent just didn't seem to have "Star" power. He made more TV stars that any other writer other than maybe The Frost report.

[@MarkHarrison733]

The writers did.

[@surreygirl2075]

Sid James made me laugh I thought he was great and a great actor l have seen all his films I like off with his head and carry on camping

[@megansavage7152]

He liked them young

[@TheLifeEvents]

I thought he was from Rhodesia rather than RSA.

[@darrenrexfrancis2538]

Zimbabwe

[@TheLifeEvents]

Exactly, Zim from 1980, Rhodesia before Independence.

She is in denial! James was all over Babs!

[@kingy002]

Please produce the evidence to substantiate your claim. Could you please also provide evidence of your credentials for me to ascertain as to whether you know what you are talking about, and as to whether I should give your comment any credence.

[@davegadge1]

@@kingy002 it is so well documented, it’s in Babs autobiography, it was in news papers, and other cast members talked about, now I don’t want to be so sad arguing over terrible but good moves like the carry on films.
