Charlie Williams Grave from The Comedians Famous Celebrity Graves

[@Boogledigs]

I absolutely loved Charlie Williams. When he laughed he made me laugh with him. He just seemed to enjoy making us all laugh - no swear words, no sexual innuendo, no dubious jokes. R. I. P. Charlie.

[@TheWacoKid1963]

Thanks for finding Charlie, he was one of my favourites from the Comedians RIP Charlie

[@MotorHomeBeepBeep]

My pleasure The Waco Kid He was a likeable funny character. Best Alan

@@MotorHomeBeepBeep Hi Alan, I don't know if you've seen this video before of Charlie, it has has a couple of interviews with Charlie and his 80 year old dad kzbin.info/www/bejne/iJ7OYa1jhKd6htk interviews are at 6:52 & 11:08 & 12:17

[@MotorHomeBeepBeep]

@@TheWacoKid1963 Hi TWK that's super! I really enjoyed watching those full interview clips. His dad was really cute and I think people probably were nicer in those early days. Charlie genuinely seemed a lovely guy. It's a shame I did not see this his. I might have put a clip of that in the video but never mind. Thank you ever so much for sending it. Best, Alan

[@Theoriginalbigbrillo]

Chas is the abbreviation for Charlie 👍👍

[@skithewhitestuff]

Thanks for this one. It brings back some great memories for me. I grew up in the seventies so remember watching the comedians on tv with Charlie on it. I remember him as always being respectful and never rude, and who could forget that laugh. R.I.P. Charlie.

[@easystar123]

I loved Charlie Williams. I used to watch him on The Comedians in the 1970s. I was just a school boy then and this was a great show every Saturday night to watch. He also compered The Golden Shot on a Sunday for a short period of time. He had a great sense of humour, but was just not cut out for that job following Bob Monkhouse. Rip Charlie.

[@ronaldpainting5614]

Anyone working down pit was a hero. They had as much chance of dying in peacetime as in a war. Greatly missed, but thank heavens for video. I watch all the comedians from that time regularly. Thank you Charlie.

[@marybarratt2649]

I thought he was a lovely man. I did wonder where his grave was so thank you for that. Talented and appreciated by many people and remembered with affection.

[@chrisshowering7357]

He was another favourite of mine in the comedians Charley Williams brilliant.

[@MotorHomeBeepBeep]

Hi Chris he was sweet take care Alan

[@domestix1]

I knew him as Uncle Charlie when little.He would come and visit my great grandad.Loved him

[@johnnewham2235]

Thanks once again Alan, Charlie is still my favourite comedian of all time, that Beautiful Yorkshire accent and wit, I never tire of watching him

[@FreeBirdUKVanLife]

I met Charlie when i was around 6 or 7yrs old. I remember his cheeky smile. 🙂 Thank you for doing this one. X

[@Karin-]

I know I am a bit late seeing this video. Isn't it amazing the people we forget about until someone else mentions them? Brings back memories, thank you for sharing this 😊

[@MotorHomeBeepBeep]

Hello Karen, that's exactly I love doing these because you remember the people so well and it brings you back lovely memories. Thank you for the comments. Alan

Another great video. I remember watching him back in the day. I thought he was funny . He had a busy and eventful life seemed a down to earth guy. Thanks for sharing love from Holmfirth West Yorkshire 💙

[@MotorHomeBeepBeep]

If you watch, there's a little film on KZbin If you're interested of him talking with his father, it was the black guy. It's quite cute cuz the father is totally taking control of Charlie his dad seem great. Thanks for the lovely comment Alan

[@richardfrancis3325]

Very nicely done lovely surroundings and the new guy deserves an Oscar.😄

[@MotorHomeBeepBeep]

I think that a starring appearance at the end is what's making this so successful. That's where I've been going wrong..... Are you going charge a substantial fee in the future ?

[@TheTaz1999]

Thank you Alan , another great video .

[@MotorHomeBeepBeep]

Cheers Taz

I nought a Charlie Williams autographed picture a few years. It was a shame that his career petered out, but comedy had changed. RIP Charlie.

[@davidc4301]

He was a funny man great to see

[@annemariebell8082]

Thank you for the history

[@Joan-COYI]

Hello Alan, another great video. How times have changed, I bet he got a lot of stick. I didn’t like his comedy but he was a lovely bloke and he made history. I didn’t realise that he played football for so long. He certainly had an interesting life. Thanks Alan, enjoyed that. Looking forward to your 1k subs !!

[@MotorHomeBeepBeep]

Hello Joan, when am I? Subscribers suggested a film and it was really cute with Charlie and his father who came over from Jamaica. The father was really funny as well. Very droll talking to Charlie a bit like he was a boy but they were cute together. He wasn't my favourite but you're right he tried to do his best and help to little bit by breaking down barriers. Don't tempt fate. I might not make the thousand. Hope you're having a nice day. Thank you, Akan

[@andywright3450]

Hey Alan thanku for this request video wonderful saw charlie many times in person great fella too talk too I had his autograph but lost it few years ago 💯😊

Hello Andy, yes that's great. When you're a fan like you must be nice to have those memories, he was a very sweet comedian who is doing his best in all directions. And thank you for the comments as always, great to see you Alan

[@50mi55ile]

He opened our Local Doctors surgery when it was rebuilt in Carcroft Doncaster ,there was a Plaque on the wall dedicated to Charlie

[@crystaldance5731]

Lovely video Alan god bless Charlie Williams I used to love watching him on the comedians but I have to admit I didn’t find him the funniest sweet little grave thanks Alan ❤️😊

[@MotorHomeBeepBeep]

Advocate, his father and Charlie himself were really lovely men. He really looked up to his dad. Who'd been down the mines in a very tough life. He wasn't the brightest for a comedian. I remember him struggling on the golden shot. It wasn't for him but he had a loveliness . Thank you!

[@fredaredfern6670]

Charlie was hilarious R.I.P me owe flower x

[@michaelcotter228]

I remember Charlie Williams hosting the golden shot and he often talked about Barnsley i was living in Northern Ireland at the time aged 10 30 years later i moved to barnsley that 22 years ago and still here today i didn't even know where Barnsley was good old Charlie he put Barnsley on the map

[@theagunton3811]

Fantastic comedian

[@colmac1849]

You do the man down ... Charlie Williams was a great player and a great comedian .. The best Yorkshire has produced ever .. I'm sure he's laughing at you now

[@MotorHomeBeepBeep]

What's a shame? I love the character. I made a film to highlight him in trueist sense and though you can do is leave a negative comments what have you done in in reality, I would imagine nothing 😜 try doing something useful.

[@amandahayward3818]

RIP me old Flower x

[@lyndabowyer1526]

Charlie is - or was - my step-Uncle. my paternal grandmother had a child with the same man who was Charlie's father. Fond memories of seeing Charlie in Panto at Barnsley Civic in the 70s. Was able to go backstage with our relatives after the show where we met him, and he had some lollypops for us.

[@MotorHomeBeepBeep]

Hi Lyn What lovely memories for you. I remember watching a documentary with Charlie and his father and he has so much respect for his dad who seemed super. They seemed very close. Thank you so much for your wonderful comments. Alan!

[@andrewwinstanley8217]

I know Charlie well and spent many hours in his company at Oakwell. He was a lovely, warm and funny man. Sorely missed and someone who will always be remembered. What a man.

[@kevinswift7442]

Like this man very funny

[@lisainger6751]

I got his autograph while he was in London, A lovely man

[@gaylethorn7692]

We went to see him in Scarborough when I was about 6 or 7. I tried to trip him with my umbrella as he was walking through the aisles. Still hand no idea why I did that 😂

[@RaymondFunnell-bs1wl]

Charlie was a bloody nice bloke

[@BeasleyStreet]

" he had is niche, he had his time" that's all we can ask for, seeing your opportunity and taking it, that's life!

[@MotorHomeBeepBeep]

Hi Absbury He was making the most of what I had at the time which was the colour element. But if you watch there's a beautiful video with his dad. It's on KZbin and his dad is such a sweet guy and he had no racialism when he worked down the mines. I thought this was lovely. Regards Alan

[@jtpf87]

He pronounced niche wrong btw, it's neesh unless you're American 😅

[@annoldham3018]

Had a patient who worked with him. He said Charlie was a real gentleman and very friendly. 😊

[@javidrashed2553]

I met Charles Williams I'm leeds few years ago I give his wife a red rose city variety pub

[@sailingschooners8668]

Eee, let me tell ya....naturally funny..always thought he was joking about playing football...remember the comedians too well, nice related history as usual...you have a compassion for your subject..

[@MotorHomeBeepBeep]

Hello SS, I do because I've spent quite a while looking at them before I do the video and I remember him just like all the viewers so I do make the connection on the day. I'm just a softy I think, but thank you for the great comment 😀

Charlie and his dad know as Big Al, worked at the same pit as my Grandy. Reginald Byron. Grandy was pit deputy.

[@volvof12able]

He was good . And most importantly he was nice

[@davidharwood6209]

Charlie to me had no colour he was just a funny,great bloke..!❤

[@ldshasnobrain]

He was just a comedian and he wasn't black he was mixed race like me. And racialism means pride in ones race without discriminating about another. The best way forward is to be colour-blind. Great vid though keep it coming!!

[@MotorHomeBeepBeep]

Well said it's getting better but can't we just have to drop this ridiculous stuff. We all came from Africa originally. We're all related. Scientists have proven it well I believe so. Anyway, You take care mate and thank you for the comment

[@ldshasnobrain]

@MotorHome Beep Beep Thanks for the reply, mate. I like your content. I'm high-strung, so my comments are always a bit divisive..lol. I would debate with myself if I was the only human on Earth..lol.

Rest in peace

[@joldendoves2795]

He was born and brought up on the same street as my Aunty Maggie, he and his mates used to call in on Maggie which wasn't uncommon in those days, they all spoke broad Yorkshire, Aunty Maggie said that he was incredibly cheeky but very funny at the same time.

No cheese at all fantastic comedian...

[@JhonMayall]

I do not think that there is anything wrong with having a Yorkshire accent regardless of what colour you are. If you are Barnsley born and bred you will pick up the accent.Nothing to be ashamed off.

[@koa1464]

He Was Kinda Like Cleveland Brown In The 70s

[@saschacunliffe7383]

Charlie wasn't the only comedian who trading on being black and impersonating well-known white people. Sir Lenny Henry, no less, started in that very way! A fact he would no doubt like to forget. I remember him well and The Golden Shot was a disaster, as I remember from childhood. Things really peetered out for him after that and as television was the only mainstream medium at the time, that was that. Nevertheless and as you say, he had his niche!!

[@KerryNicol-ow9cp]

dont forget as Charlie was born to a white mother he was actually mixed race,NOT black. thats important because it means half his ancestry is white,there is a difference +its not good to ignore his white side .Even if he refers to himself as black,+i admit he looks quite dark in some(but not all) photos, hes not!

[@MotorHomeBeepBeep]

I knew all about it. Is mother being white but the point with this gentleman was he made his humour from his colour and that is what people identified him with. He made a film with his father or was a fabulous nice guy who would work very hard down the coal mines. You could see that he had so much respect for his father. In my book people of People that's it.

[@asa1973100]

We seen him live in Rhodesia at the Mono hotel , he was absolutely hideous

Hi Cameron I have actually thought of that one but thank you for suggesting it because it's a really good idea and I'm keeping all the names of the suggestions. They will get a name credit at the end of the film so if I do that one which I think I will, you'll definitely be on it. Thanks for now Alan

[@jackiesmith2710]

Charlie did so many great and wonderful things a man of so many talents, Footballer singer comic! and instead of focusing on those you bring in negative things! he was funny being a blackman with a Yorkshire accent! was not good on the golden shot! HE was great he was on it for 5 years! Max Bygraves was on it for 2 weeks! I don't think he would have appreciate you negative view of him!

[@MotorHomeBeepBeep]

Hello Jackie, unfortunately you got it wrong. Charlie Williams was only on The golden shot. Like I said on the video from the back end of 73 to 74 but I wasn't being negative about him. I was putting the humour into its perspective because It wouldn't be funny today. I was very respectful to him because he was a lovely man and so was his father who worked down the pit. Even said himself that the golden shot didn't work well for him. In the biography I highlighted all is achievements. I like to help these people's memory alive who give us entertainment. Try yourself one day 😜
