Roy Castle [pt.1/2] on "Parkinson" '82 (pt.3/7) HQ

[@terryallen5328]

One of the best all round entertainers that the UK has produced, died far to young at 62yrs. RIP Roy Castle.

[@mikebeasley9085]

Roy was a Neigbour of mine in the late 1980s, i spoke to him on a number of occasions, he was in my opinion one of the good guys. A thoroughly decent chap who was happy to sign my Now Framed Dr. Who and the Daleks film poster in my house. I would not say i was a big fan of Roy's, but i admired the man and as a person he was a decent chap

[@angelodemeo1800]

[@godiva4665]

Great guy! Never smoked a single cigarette in his life but died of the same thing smokers die of because of passive smoking. Such a sad loss of a wonderful life. RIP! The very talented Roy Castle.

[@johnmanning5568]

Exactly. Cigarette smokers were murderers in my opinion. They were dirty and selfish people. They ruined many a person’s entertainment by puffing out their vile carcinogenic smoke all over the innocent non-smokers. I used to return home stinking of their acrid smoke. I too was diagnosed with a smoker’s cancer even though I never smoked a cigarette in my life. I was lucky and the cancer was removed before it had metastasised. Thank goodness the law in the UK now bans those filthy dirty people from murdering any more innocent people.

[@mightyquinnproductions8672]

I remember seeing him on tv always seemed such a happy person and I imagine he was the same away from the cameras R.I.P so many children and adults appreciated your work.

[@Jimbo-gi7xn]

One of the voices of my childhood

[@skaro85]

Remember him in Dr Who and the Daleks with Peter Cushing!!!!

[@markgc1316]

The last proper Song & Dance man. From the days of variety, now long gone.

[@nevillewalker6299]

Spot on. I missed NS by a month and was dissappointed as my cousins had a great time and yes they came out as grown ups.

[@swizzleproxi4810]

[@frankshailes3205]

[@deejay5224]

A part of all kids' childhood growing up in the 80s. Roy Castle is record breakers!

[@obirich6147]

My surname is Castle. Roy died on my birthday in 1994.

[@Fmfcg]

I'm good friends with his grandson

[@jamesjube90]

An inspiration!

[@tubeisace]

What a star. My hero!

[@lucybrookxx9962]

And my uncle

[@tdsymes]

It baffles me, why people have to hit "Thumbs Down" Either "Like" it or move on.

[@r4h4al]

Agree.

[@posnerist]

He was the best all rounder the UK ever had.....why did he not become famous world-wide?......because of a certain Superstar called Sammy Davis!...need I say more.......

[@garylucas7050]

Most underrated britains most talented entertainer

[@dlamiss]

Roy Castle was the classic case of being a jack of so many trades but not quite a master of them... According to Michael Grade on "the battle for Saturday night" tv show a couple of years ago he was the perfect guest star but never quite good enough at any one thing to have his own prime time show... Decent summing up from a man who knows

[@ade425mxy]

Great! love it! Could do with this for my Kenny everett megapack! u have the tape?

[@mikebeasley9085]

Doctor who as a series was made for minimum cost and maximum effect, it was aimed at a younger crowd back then. Today's Dr who are very expensively made, and suspect a single episode cost as much to make as the original 1965 film

[@rogerarnold1579]

Roy was a Christian.

[@barrythompson6936]

Real class act.

[@davidwrightatloppers]

Very likely! Of course, it's unfair to compare the old series with the new. The only thing they share is the name and basic format. Other than that, it's like comparing the Star Wars and Indiana Jones movies with the Fifties serials they were inspired by.

[@teatimee]

If you want to be the best...

[@davidwrightatloppers]

@ade425mxy - As I tell everyone - you can download my and ANY KZbin pieces and convert them to standard DVD, using freeware programmes: Orbit free downloader, Any Video Converter and your computer's disk-burning programme - just Google and download 'em. Good luck!

[@bandybrony1868]

"I've got spangles on my trousers." The most British thing that's ever been said.

[@davidwrightatloppers]

I loved that movie! I know Whovians (I think they call themselves) disapprove of it - then again, they probably disapprove of the CURRENT TV series - 'cause they no longer have infantile plots, rubber monsters and wobbly cardboard sets. Fact is, the (first) film and the NEW series are for GROWNUPS. I liked Roy in the film too - he provided the "outsider's" view-point. Much missed...

[@Trev359]

Well, that's a very ill-informed comment. Fans of the old series love the movies and the new series. The movies were based on the original TV serials so how can the TV be for kids and the movies for 'grownups'. More like the other way around. Susan was a teenager in the series and a 12 year old child in the movies so that disproves that statement. You are obviously not a fan so keep your opinions to yourself on a subject you obviously know nothing about.

crap ...allways was ...

[@discerningrambles]

Roy was a man for his time, but if we are to be honest his act isn't designed for a modern audience, we've all moved on, our pallets have changed.
