Isn’t it funny how life turns out…..watching him again now on your clip of him doing his brilliant Mick Jagger impersonation, and who would have believed that although very sadly Freddie has passed on, Mick is still prancing about and singing on stage with the remaining Stones at his age of 80! 81 this July26th!! Just incredible how he’s kept going,….it’s the swings and roundabouts of life! But I’d never have believed Freddie would have gone when he was always so full of life and energy. RIP Freddie and thanks for all the entertainment and laughs you gave us. 🌹❤️🕊️

Firstly, thank you for your wise words ( so true) and presentation. At 74 I watch Freddie singing Elvis with his one time backing group the Jordonairs, what a fantastic representation of the king, so, so, so good! As a youngster I found him so funny, although now older I don’t enjoy it so much. However, his Audience with Freddie Star in later years I find, in the main, sensibly funny! The Yew Tree investigation was so wrong as far as Freddie was concerned. These types of investigation SHOULD NOT be made public UNTIL convicted, anything else destroys, as in Freddie’s case, a persons reputation and can ruin them financially if unable to recover their legal costs, as in Freddie’s case. Sadly his early life was tragic, resulting in his turbulent and aggressive private life. Freddie escaped from this side of him on stage, one could say he was a man with a split personality. One can say the showbiz face of Freddie deserves to be remembered fondly, such a mix of greats talents. To die in such an ignominious way is so sad and the people responsible for his fall from favour should be absolutely ashamed of themselves!! It also saddens me to think that NO one he knew from the world of showbiz helped him in his hour of need or in death by way of funding his final journey or having his name etc entered on his parents headstone, shame on you!! Freddie Star you were as GREAT showman! Rest In peace!!

The others said they won't do that, including the one who wouldn't reveal where 'Liz Dawn' is. I'll try to find that recording of Freddie showing attitude. As they say, " The Apple doesn't fall far from the tree." Shame. Wonder if Freddie would have wanted to be with his low life father.

Hi Gill and I've learned a lot whilst doing the films. Just like you watching is the same for both of us. The only thing you begin to realize is that that once these people have gone people forget the location but remember them from film and television only mostly. This is the case with Freddy his job he did very well and we enjoy watching me included but the person behind it was very different bankrupt at the end and that is why there was no individual grave with a reference. His own life was very bad at the end. It's quite a leveling thing. The famous people sometimes are much poorer than the unfamous people because their personal lives sometimes are deficient. Thank you as always for your support and comments.I always enjoy reading them. Much love, Alan

I haven't. Sandra, it has been done by another channel called unusual things. I haven't done it myself because I didn't actually know her from TV, but I wouldn't say no because it's been some time since it was originally filmed. I think it's in a forest and there isn't a location. It was ashes but thank you for the suggestion. Very useful. Alan

Hello Sandra, I do the channel as a hobby because I like it and things happen in life when you don't have the time. So that's how I upper it. I'm not really desperate to build it up, but I love it when people subscribe and join if they enjoy it. And now I've just retired. I'll probably do more. In fact, I'll start to the second channel but I'm telling places and the hotels KZbin is great fun. Thank you, alan

Hi, Ive looked at dozens of your vids and Ive gave them all a well-deserved Thumbs Up. , I've never commented before because- the content - presentation, and narrator are all first-class. But as you asked for comments- - you should drop the Beep Beep on the intro as its out of context - not Thomas the Tank or selling ice lollies to little children And you didn't mention Freddie best - When he threw maggots ain the All-Star audience. - which I guess was rice - from a pot inside the glass pot full of maggots. Please don't ban me - Cos I like your Vids Cliff +

Hello Cliff, originally I was going to do a travel channel from the motorhome and by accident, the first location had a graveyard with Sylvia Plath and I enjoyed doing the bio and learning about Sylvia and I went in from there so I'd never changed the name or the intro. I just wanted something that made it memorable but I get your point. The main thing is that you enjoy the content and thank you very much for taking the time. Best you dance. I'll watch out for you Alan

I saw him on a show where he threw live maggots into the audience. People were absolutely livid. He was a funny guy, though 😊

Freddie Starr was a brilliant enterainer0. . H0is real life as a child was nothing short of tragic . I think he needed support from a pyschiarisrt and medical intervention and certainly a more non abusive and stable childhood. R.I.P Freddie Starr
