John Nettles' talk in Germany about the German occupation of the British Channel Islands during WWII

[@morbius109]

John's comment at 0:25 about coming to listen to him He has one of the most pleasant voices I have ever had the pleasure to hear. I could listen to him read the phone book from cover to cover and enjoy the experience.

[@pascalcoole2725]

The great thing about youtube technology is that we can listen to this great speach long after it was held. Thanks John !

[@martinarosa6129]

I love this man! Even if he is old enough to be my father, but what an absolutely handsome and funny gentlemen!

[@GuideauxPelagos]

Great talk of a true gentleman, only in his last sentence he mentions his book...much respect for his storytellimg.

[@theurbangentry]

Guido!!! Fancy seeing you here!!! Haha, what a small world. As for your comment, I could not agree more. I hope this finds you well. Best regards, TGV

[@ginamalkeschmiedeberg]

Dear John Nettles, so many years of happiness with Midsomer Murders, and now such an outrageously funny talk at the uni of my home town!!! Thank you!!

[@tuxitalk1World]

Just finding alot of John Nettles speeches on KZbin! Yay! I have alot of viewing I will do on a snowy night and what a man to be watching!

[@karenwhite8314]

Love John Nettles! He sounds wonderful!

[@varasuetamminga9519]

GOD BLESS JOHN NETTLES FOR GIVING US A DECENT, LAW DEFENDER FOR SO MANY YEARS, HE WAS A RAY OF HOPE IN A DARK WORLD WHERE MURDER IS ALL TOO COMMON.

[@rosemaryaddessa4683]

I miss you Inspector Barnaby, but do enjoy retirement, you brought humor, even thru the murders. 🌹🙏🌹🙏🌹🙏🌹🙏🌹🙏🌹

[@cosd3799]

So true man, Tom rulez, john barnaby (neill dugeon) sucks!

[@levimacdonald5188]

Very good speaker.. Mr John nettles 👍✨

[@RodericSpode]

A couple of years ago I binge watched the first 19 seasons of Midsummer Murders over about a 6 week period. At the time I estimated that I'd witnessed well over 300 murders in month and a half. I decided to take a break from murder mysteries for a while.

[@levimacdonald5188]

😲😊👍 Woww

[@mercedesbeard6974]

Me too

[@zarinamohamedsaid9899]

Still my fav

[@RodericSpode]

@@zarinamohamedsaid9899Yeah, I'm looking forward to seeing the last two seasons, which aren't available in the US yet unless you subscribe to a service like Britbox.

[@soph683]

I didnt expect to find comment this funny but there you are haha

[@brendamiller8140]

Wonderful to see him as a person and not an actor. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️🤗

[@doreenfawcett9717]

Awwwww he’s a lovely man. 🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹

[@Mrs20090515]

it seems strange to me that the UK gave up the Channel Islands, but fought for them after Nazis occupied the islands. Thanks to you John Nettles for spreading history to younger people. My Grandpa's die never Talk about the war they went through...

[@deesplaylists6941]

I'm soooooo going to miss hearing his voice on my TV screen. Thank God for DVDs.

[@frankcarvell8935]

Spot-on...thank you so much.

[@vivaldi1ett]

You’re still gorgeous John, may God Bless you Sir to your good health you take care of yourself and your family 💞✝️🙏🏻😘💕💞

[@varasuetamminga9519]

I MISS JOHN NETTLES ALMOST AS MUCH AS I MISS JEREMY BRENT AS SHERLOCK HOLMES. NOW LET US UNDERSTAND WHY. BECAUSE THESE DETECTIVES ARE MUCH MORE THAN GOOD ACTORS, THEY ARE SYMBOLS OF JUSTICE WHICH CAN STOP CRIME AND MURDER AND THEFT. LET US FACE IT. OUR WORLD IS FULL OF MURDER,

[@charlo90952]

I grew up in Jersey in the 60s. We used to explore the tunnels and bunkers as boys. This is a beautifully told story of those difficult days.

[@levimacdonald5188]

Volume is loud on television But not on my iPad, still watchable 👍 Good conversation mr John nettles

[@davidhynes9683]

John's excellent presentation.

[@elisabethgrunbaum396]

Im loving your voice and your englisch speaking John Nettles.

[@levimacdonald5188]

Indeed very British of an by gone era sadly! Dame Patricia Routledge speaks very similar to John,

[@elisabethshelley4758]

I came to Austria to live after being in Devon for 16 years so thiat was truly fsntastic and it is still being shown. Also my Austrian neighbours also enjoy Midsommer Murders

[@DarkAngel-iw1hd]

I like John Nettles. He is a gentlemen through and through... and he looks like my dad. They both could be brothers :)

[@levimacdonald5188]

He looks like my uncle Frank very similar facially

[@iTube22100]

The series is superb for locations, with so many characters, all outdoor scenes, intriguing situations but beside three or even four murders per episode, you never see him, or the other policemen, with a gun in his hand, and everything's so calm and relaxing. Big budget for this series. Not like those noisy and anxiogenic American series.

[@ionut988]

I agree with that! I've seen all the episodes with John Nettles. Greetings from Romania! 🇬🇧🇷🇴

[@YouzTube99]

👍 for "anxiogenic".

[@stadleroux]

I can also remember how he very sternly reprimanded his sidekick in one episode for treating a potential suspect, I think, with too much aggression. "Actions such as that will NOT be allowed as long as I'm the chief inspector, is that clear!?" or something to that effect...

[@hildegardvergara5018]

I love him and all the Inspector Barnaby shows stay well

[@AlexandrosV]

He is absolutely brilliant. Wetting myself

[@ZENmud]

I do appreciate his words regarding his shows, etc; I would have enjoyed hearing more of his sidekicks and maybe 'favorite guest actors'...

[@ЭлеонораФилина-д6к]

Какая красивая речь и вообще не устаю на него смотреть, красивый человек!

[@l.plantagenet]

So true. He's 80 now and still looks handsome.

[@levimacdonald5188]

Happy 78th BIRTHDAY Mr Nettles 🎊🎂📺🎬🍻👍

[@tuxitalk1World]

78?!!! Holy Cats! He looks wonderful for 78 and much younger!

[@vangiegudgeon3892]

I cannot hear you John Neetles good to see you finally without Midsomer Murders stay safe keep well🙏🐕😁👋!!!

[@patrickguernsey4929]

As a breton I have never seen "Bergerac" though I went many times to both Jersey or Guernsey. (!)In fact in France it was on air on Canal plus, a payable channel through the nineties. It is for me highly interesting to listen to him here. Thanks a lot.! What a sense of humor.!

[@jeanleclerc115]

Bergerac diffusé par Canal Plus?? Heu non, la 1ère diffusion française c'était sur la Cinq en 1988, et plus tard FR3... Donc parfaitement visible sur les chaines généralistes françaises... / (en)Canal Plus never aired Bergerac, its first French broadcast was with La Cinq, back in 1988 and later on by FR3... Thus on generalist French TV channels...

[@ZENmud]

Patrick ~ Bergerac (with John Nettles) only has S1 E1 on KZbin, but whoever uploaded that first episode, has links to more seasons on the Daily Motion video website. Be careful 😜 because some episodes are split in two, out of sequence (only a few)... Cheers

[@l.plantagenet]

​@@ZENmudI have all of the seasons on Britbox.

[@Mrs20090515]

Go on having a good time We love Shakepeare and especially You. Stay healthy, Hugs and lots of love

[@tobiapilgrim]

A gentleman.

[@levimacdonald5188]

👍💛 YES indeed he is

[@Cthulhuismyhero]

!!! I love John Nettles and Midsomer Murders. Was really surprised and happy when these videos popped up. I live in the states and read that he narrated a series Devon and Cornwall. Does anyone, an ex-pat maybe, know how I could watch it here? I tried to google it but got nowhere.

[@levimacdonald5188]

Sadly i don't 💛but i can advise you to" Write to John Nettles he'll respond back with AN autographed photo!

[@majcorbin]

Davenport, IOWA I have viewed MOST of your episodes and enjoy the journey

[@Woooofit]

Fantastic talk, very insightful. I learned a lot on history, my favourite subject.

He is hilarious.. love him !!! 😂

Good to see John Nettles again. Thank you. Sadly, cannot hear what he is saying. because the sound system failed.

What's Jim doing on assignment in Germany?

[@afishcalledwanda]

The cameraman, together with the sound thingamabob, really didn't have the sound in the grip, once more. Annoying. Come on, guys, take courses or leave the place to someone else who is capable, for God's sake. What a pity for Nettles' performance.

[@varasuetamminga9519]

MURDERS, THE THEFT, AND THE LIES AND BRING US MOMENTS OF HOPE AND JUSTICE IN A BRUTAL WORLD. O JEREMY, O JOHN! WHERE ARE YOU WHEN WE NEED YOU MOST? COME BACK, COME BACK AND SAVE US.

[@WOLFROY47]

channel islands Jersey, followed by Guernsey, Alderney, Sark, Brecqhou (Brechou), Herm and Jethou. alderney was also occupied by the germans. The Alderney camps were prison camps built and operated by Nazi Germany during its World War II occupation of the Channel Islands. The Channel Islands were the only part of the British Isles to be occupied.

[@rtruscott2]

John Nettles sounds like the late Terry Wogan

[@nancyknoblich6082]

Hard to hear.

[@danielledumont6536]

OMG. I so remember that episode. There used to be a thing with dandelions. Momma had a baby and its head popped off. I was so shocked, I rewound it a couple of times, to see if that was real.

[@charq52]

I LOVE Midsommer Murders! I’m sorry it is not in production, still. I suppose you ran out of people to bump off….

[@Somnogenesis]

It is still in production! Series 22 was made less than a year ago, and a 23rd series is due to come at some point.

[@WOLFROY47]

dixon will be sorely missed, our modern day rent a cop's, could learn a lot, from watching him, and working out, how to be real respected community policemen, instead as being seen as the enemy of the community, that everyone tries to avoid. when i read, to protect and serve, my mind, automatically thinks, protect and serve who ?

[@rosegibson7351]

so english love him

[@levimacdonald5188]

Yes very posh isn't he Dear John Nettles 💛 He's BIRTHDAy was yesterday 78-"!!🎂🎊🎊

[@gloriatr604]

Here, John Nettles is clearly a peacemaker, plenty of opportunities to be critical of Germany, but he chooses to be "complimentary. While living in England, I began to understand this mentality. However, as a true lover of Midsomer Murders, I watch it, "religiously" everyday for the past 2 or 3 years and have gotten others "hooked" on it, I did notice that not one Black, Asian, or person of color was in any of the 13 Seasons that he was the "star" of the show. I'm sure he could have "mentioned" the absence of such personalities. When Brian True-May finally confessed his sin of "omission" he was first "suspended" then fired from the series. John remained, again, taking the path of "least resistance" by admitting that their were many opportunities to use persons of color in the series. I feel bad for him that he doesn't have a backbone.

[@nathalieloetzke6667]

Oui, Inspecteur Barnaby on l'adore en France ❤❤❤

[@WOLFROY47]

that quote about animals and children is a misquote of the accepted rules about acting and borrowed from William Claude Dukenfield, better known as W. C. Fields. one rule that was real was never look directly at the camera ie the fourth wall. now of course, actors do it all the time, when sharing their characters inner thoughts, with the audience

[@crispyri]

All the people of Alderney we're evacuated to the UK and Guernsey,Jersey after the war ended. They returned to there homes. Everything was destroyed .they had nothing they even had to pay for the boat trip back home .the british government neither the germans gave them any sort off compensation for rebuilding the island they should be ashamed off themselves

[@cosd3799]

ITS TOM BARNABY detective :D PS: i know english hates germans, but english became indian/african, and germans become turkish/arabic, so no more hate please!

[@DeirdreMcNamara]

No English do not "hate" Germans, just "Nazis." We know that the real Germans rejected Herr schickelgruber and his bullies for 12 years, but the austrian was very well funded and wore them down. We know that Germans are "thorough" so when they fell they fell hard. No, I don't hate Austrians either - they gave us Mozart and Schubert...we are Christians, we must hold hands and return tot he friendly rivalry of "national statehood," and start to protect our European Christian heritage, be it Viking, Saxon, Roman, Celt, Anglo, in origin. It is unique and advanced. So Viva la difference und Freunde mit Freude!!! Ciao! Beannachtai Farvel...

[@IvanaLucica]

Love.❤😊❤

[@Lancaster730]

John is on a sticky wicket talking about the bombing of St Helier & Guernsey & ! in Germany

[@DeirdreMcNamara]

I just watched to learn about the occupation of the Channel Islands. And John Midsomer scriptwriters cannot come close to my plot-lines, except I don't write certain ones in case some maniac would try to put them into action and I would not want that on my conscience. Midsomer's homicides are so convoluted that there'd be an army of cops and civilians on site before they'd finished their weirded set ups, so little chance of a copycat there!

[@milenakorovljev4209]

Talking in Germany about German occupation ? Why ?! It's like selling fridges to Eskimos .

[@historex54tamiya]

Would be even better if he wasn’t pissed. It was a travesty they sent people to concentration camps after the islands were taken, they even reported to British police stations as ordered by the German occupants, but he won’t bring that up

[@levimacdonald5188]

What's the last sentence about..won't bring that UP ?..

[@mercedesbeard6974]

Im in the US, eidh he could come here and lecture

Germany invaded Poland. Are we going to start that up again! You're still under - most of the world is still under the dark , powerful and evil influences that funded *itler and *talin...

Churchill was a monster. He was bloodthirsty. He set up the Lusitania to bring the US into the war all because of his dreams of empire and personal glory.

[@jabbalechat7910]

You can't even get your facts straight, RMS Lusitania was a British ocean liner that was sunk on 7 May 1915 by a German U-boat 11 miles off the southern Irish coast...

[@johnindo6771]

You are an idiot to call Churchill a “monster”!

[@DeirdreMcNamara]

Hey you guys, after the war I treated one of your U Boat Commanders - don't make me regret it! Churchill was under threat by the communist FDR who was in league with *talin and handed Poland and the rest of Europe while Churchill had to sit on his hands and blow smoke through his ears. I saw the bombed areas of London long after the war was "over." The EU is just another phase, a "bloodless coup"....

[@longhotsummer7307]

10 mins in and all he has talked about is his dreary TV programmes. Bye.
