Jack Warner: Britain's Most Iconic TV Actor | Dixon of Dock Green Star

[@BeautifulBadandBizarre]

***TYPO CORRECTION*** At the end of the video I give Jack's birth year as 1885 - this is wrong - it was 1895! I can't correct it once the video is uploaded! Apologies 🌹

You did give the correct date of birth at the beginning of your video. I enjoyed it immensely.

1 of the most charismatic, popular an versatile actors of his generation; put his heart an soul into each role an bought both energy and grace t each character spot he played especially the Dixon roles but i especially loved him in the atmospheric 'Jigsaw' film

[@BeautifulBadandBizarre]

Oh yes! Jigsaw was such a brilliant film I do agree! xx

[@michaelspenceley7316]

My father, Bill Spenceley, was the natural therapist who treated and inspired Jack. He and Molly became firm family friends. To me he was "Uncle" Jack. He and Molly introduced us to the board game Scrabble as a Christmas present. Thank you for your wonderful KZbin biography of Uncle Jack.

[@BeautifulBadandBizarre]

Oh my goodness, this is absolutely wonderful! Thank you so much for your beautiful comment and for sharing your cherished memories of Jack and Mollie! You've truly made my day-what a fantastic connection you have! and what a wonderful father too! I absolutely adore that they introduced you to Scrabble; it’s always been one of my favorite board games! Your kind words about the video mean the world to me, and I’m so grateful for your support.

Jack Warner's influence on British life has been pervasive. The image of the British bobby on the beat that he helped create, both in "The Blue Lamp" (1949) and as George Dixon in "Dixon Of Dock Green" remained long after his passing. I enjoyed this very much. As a fan of old black and white British movies, I was familiar with Jack Warner's career, but there was much here that was new to me. My favourite film of his is "The Final Test" (1953). Thank you for posting this.

[@BeautifulBadandBizarre]

Thank you for your thoughtful comment! I completely agree-Jack Warner’s portrayal of the British bobby has left a lasting impact on our cultural landscape. I'm glad you found new insights in the video, especially as a fan of classic British cinema! 'The Final Test' is a great choice; (as well as being written by Terrence Rattigan who I'm a fan of!) it really showcases Jack's talent. I appreciate your support and look forward to sharing more stories! xxxx

I met Jack Warner in about 1968 when I was 10 yrs old. My Aunt & Uncle ran a pub in Herefordshire and he popped in one day. I don’t recall the reason why he was in Hereford. But I was there with my cousins & friends playing in the beer garden & Jack came and spoke to us all and he got us all Vimto’s. I remember him being a really nice man

[@BeautifulBadandBizarre]

What a wonderful memory, Carol! Thank you so much for sharing it. Jack Warner sounds like he was just as kind and warm in person as he came across on screen. How lovely that he took the time to chat with you all and even treat you to Vimto-such a sweet story! It’s moments like these that really show what a genuinely nice man he was. 😊 xxxxx

[@PopularesVox]

Fascinating to learn about Jack's early career and that his fame and success increased with his age, which is quite the opposite of many actors. His role in "Dixon of Dock Green" certainly was his crowning glory and made him a familiar figure on British television for many years. It was also quite an achievement, given that very few actors made a successful transition from movies into television.

[@BeautifulBadandBizarre]

Thank you for such a thoughtful comment! I completely agree-Jack Warner’s journey was quite unique, gaining more fame as he aged, which really sets him apart from many actors. His portrayal of Dixon in Dixon of Dock Green truly cemented him as a household name and a beloved figure on British TV. It’s amazing how he seamlessly transitioned from film to television, especially at a time when that wasn’t common. His legacy certainly lives on! Thank you for watching the video!

Brilliant! Thank you. As a nipper in the 1960s I watched Dixon every Saturday night, he was one of my Nan's favourites. By a strange coincidence, Jack was featured in today's upload from the BBC Archive YT Channel. It turns out that back in 1957 he was president of the Sunday Freedom Association, which campaigned for the relaxation of the strict Sunday Observance laws at the time that prohibited shops, theatres and professional sporting events operating on Sundays.

[@BeautifulBadandBizarre]

What a fantastic memory! It’s great to hear that Jack Warner was a favorite of your Nan’s. He is firmly a part of my childhood memories too! Oh yes! The Sunday Freedom Association!!!

Ohhhh! Nicki, 'Gert & Daisy' are fascinating!!!! Jack had an inspirational life - he did so much before he became famous - I think that's possibly why he was such a good actor, he brought life experience with him.

A very nice touch at the end, when you laid flowers. Jack Warner was the same age as my grandfather, and lived just two years longer; I've come to think of the two of them in the same breath, because my Grandad was a lovely man, and of a not dissimilar background.

[@robinhorne3901]

Another wonderful tribute Shar to a fine actor, a gentleman who could rightly be called "a national treasure " even before the term became popular. I loved The Huggets series of films with the sublime Kathleen Harrison and little Petula Clark, my favourite was when they won the football pools, Jack trying to get his head around the fact he'd won and his beloved wife almost having a nervous breakdown at the same time, just hilarious 😅. I always thought Jack Warner was a mighty commanding presence on the silver screen, never giving a bad performance and always seeking truth in his characterisation, always a craftsman in each performance, definitely one of the 'best of British'. ❤

[@BeautifulBadandBizarre]

Thank you so much for your thoughtful comment, Robin! I completely agree-Jack Warner truly was a national treasure, long before the term became popular. 'The Huggetts' series is such a delightful classic, that makes me so incredibly happy - and that scene with the football pools is absolutely hilarious! You captured it perfectly!

Thanks Shar. That was brilliantly done as ever.. I grew up in the 50s with Dixon on the telly but had no idea of Jack's fascinating and varied earlier career. And I had no idea that Elsie and Doris Waters were his sisters. Great stuff. Incidentally, a few years ago I had the pleasure of meeting Tony Parker who played PC Bob Penney (the constable on Dixon who was shot and killed). Tony went on to have a fascinating second career as a producer/director of TV sitcoms.

Thank you for sharing your memories! It’s fascinating that your first introduction to Jack Warner was through The Final Test-what a great film, especially with all the real cricketers in the cast. It must have been amazing seeing it at the cinema, especially as a schoolboy member at the Oval! Warner's versatility really shines through in roles like that, beyond his iconic portrayal in Dixon of Dock Green - I think also, people forget that back then not everyone had a TV! and those that did were usually watching small black and white screens but with huge surrounds - also, people often rented their TVs - my grandparents did - and I'm pretty sure they had to put money in it - like they did with the electricity! xxxx

Thank you for your wonderful comment it's really made my day! Kathleen Harrison was such a talent, and her role in 'Mrs. Thursday' was delightful. It’s amazing that she lived to 103! Did you know that she knocked a few years off of her age when she was younger? There is a lovely story about it which I will share in a future video! I’m so glad you enjoyed the video about Jack.

It’s important to reflect on that history. My husbands family were from the East End and we were recently going through the old photos - it was fascinating! I appreciate you watching the video! xxxx

Generous and kind tribute as usual, well deserved no doubt. My late father came from the same part of the world and was also always amused by Warner's obviously flat feet, which he pointed out would have almost certainly disqualified him from being a real copper. But that aside, and notwithstanding the fact that the famous series dragged on for far too long with rather old fashioned scripts, it did deal with social issues in a sympathetic way. Apart from the 'Blue Lamp' my favourite role of his was probably in 'Hue and Cry'. Times have changed a lot but personal integrity usually shines through and I believe that mostly applied to Warner. His sisters were funny too. Thank you for all your efforts in producing this, which was very interesting.

[@BeautifulBadandBizarre]

Thank you so much for your thoughtful comment! It’s wonderful to hear about your father’s memories and his connection to Jack Warner’s work-especially the amusing observation about Warner’s flat feet! I agree, while *Dixon of Dock Green* did run a bit long, it always maintained a certain charm and dealt with social issues in a gentle, thoughtful way. Hue and Cry sounds like another great example of Warner’s versatility, and it’s fantastic that you also appreciate his role in that film. I haven't seen it yet but it's definitely on my list (which is ever-growing to be honest!) Times may have changed, but as you said, personal integrity always stands out, and Jack Warner certainly embodied that. His sisters were indeed hilarious too! Thank you again for your kind words-I’m so glad you enjoyed the video. 😊 xxxx

[@stephenclayton5129]

What a great character actor, I grew up in the 70s with the last years of Dixon of Dock Green, I have seen 20 or so of his 1940s and 50s films, his stand out roles for me are The Captive Heart, Hue and Cry, Train of Events, Scrooge, Albert RN, Carve Her Name With Pride

[@BeautifulBadandBizarre]

Thank you, Stephen! Jack Warner truly was a remarkable talent. I love that you’ve seen so many of his films from the 40s and 50s-each role showcases his incredible range. 'The Captive Heart' and 'Carve Her Name With Pride' are definitely standouts. I agree with your choices and I'd add 'It Always Rains on Sunday' and all the Huggetts of course 😅 xxxxx

Thankyou so much for your great biography video on the life of Jack Warner, i watched Dixon dock Green as a child when it was in the colour in the 1970s . loved watching it recently on TV so nice to see many episodes i had never seen before .But sadly only a portion of episodes remain in existence. I also love watching as many films with jack warner it always rains on sunday and many more what a great job is sisters did playing Gert and Daisy and the wartime recipes which were given on radio,i still make the lord woolton pie of world war two era ,all vegetables. It is sad all these wonderful old skool actors have sadly gone but thankfully we have the memories to cherish. Glad Diana Dors got to work with the great Jack warner she went too soon ,she was another great actress like a lot you mention in this Biography .

It's also fascinating to hear about your connection to wartime recipes, especially the Lord Woolton pie! Jack Warner and his contemporaries truly left a lasting legacy, and it’s heartwarming to see how their work continues to resonate with fans like us! Diana Dors was indeed a remarkable talent, to be honest, the more I learn about Diana the more I appreciate her, she had so many challenges in her short life but she faced up to each challenge with absolute determination and braveness!

❤❤❤❤❤❤ Oh my life! I've just stumbled on your KZbin channel and subscribed immediately! Dear Sha, My dad was an International Portrait Artist, Baron Bernard Willems, has paintings in 44 different countries, sketched Pope John Paul II (who has personally signed his Ink Portrait, he was also commissioned out of 250 artists to paint Prince ( now King of Belgium) and his sister Princesse Astrid. Sadly, dad passed away on 22 August 2020 - at almost 98 years young. He & my mum lived on Dover Seafront for 11 years after WWII, having moved over to the UK from Brussels. (Dover has changed a lot this then; 1946/7 as can be seen from all the photos I have!) Dad was commissioned by Jack Warner to paint his wife Molley. My 3 elder sisters were born in Dover. My parents then moved up to South Manchester, where I was born in 1962 along with my younger brother, in 1966. I remember as a little girl, every Saturday we would religiously sit and watch, (myself crossed-legged infront of the TV) and watch Dixon of Dock Green on the 'Box'/ television without fail. Dad would tell us how he had met Jack and Molly and how lovely they were. Tbh, that was a given! Just seeing him on TV & the fact my mum and dad had actually met them both was Wow! I remember when the series was terminated, I was devasted, as were my parents and siblings. He felt like part of the family to us. Interestingly, also, you mention Coronation Street. Well, my dad painted a portrait of Pat Phoenix / Elsie Tanner, and I have a cutting in one of my dad's albums from when they covered an article of her 'at home' in a Magazine. Dad's painting is right there, by the chimney breast in full view! Apparently, Pat Phoenix / Elsie Tanner used to put me to bed! 😅. Sadly, I don't remember! Just listening to your video brought back so many fond memories of my dad, my youth, and the fact that mum & dad had known them and painted his lovely wife 😊. So, I personally thank you for bringing back such an emotional, treasured memory with your video ❤ Thank you xxx

Hiya Shar, another all time great from the British Entertainment Industry. Again you have told me so much I never knew about this fine actor. My late mother's family house was near Brooklands,The phrase " an all round entertainer " could have been created just for him. One thing stood out in your marvelous film, lead me to a story about another young actor who had the great good fortune to work with him. Harry Fowler. He said the best piece of advice he ever received was when Jack told him, you have talent and you could go far. Just remember this " never turn down a job, maybe it's only one line. Take it and do it well, next time it could be two lines 😊" Obviously I'm going to watch this again and probably again, so much detail. As ever so well researched and your voice is so beautifully tuned to the subject of who you are watching. So its brilliant to have a new video from you, but don't push yourself to hard. All good things are worth waiting for. See you in the next video love and hugs Allan&Family PS the flowers looked bloomin fabulous

i also worked with a fine man who reminded us that he was a former, not ex, police sergeant. apparently ex had connotations of those who had hurriedly resigned before the corruption investigations got under way . . . whereas my colleague was upright and conscientious, just like george dixon. he always drove under the speed limit, and no one ever came haring up behind him hooting, as if they knew he was not to be trifled with, even in civvy street. He had that look.

Jack Warner was the Genuine Article, he lived a great life(despite a few low points). Another amazing video in the books, superbly done as always Shar
