[@michellesammut4309]

The great and good of corrie! Miss the older stars alf had a uniqueness in character..he was a good actor that appeared in so many things

[@gillnelson9037]

Brilliant actor. Loved him in coronation Street. Didn't realise he was so sick for so long shame he didn't have longer retirement. Thanks Alan for sharing love from Holmfirth West Yorkshire 💙💚

[@MotorHomeBeepBeep]

Brian used to come into a garage when I was 17. I was working a part-time job in the evenings behind the till he was always pleasant 😯 He died outside the shop in Shipley of an art attack at the front door

[@WillVenusASMR]

He seemed like a really nice man. His Coronation Street character will never be forgotten. He was part of their golden years at Corrie, almost always involved with all the huge storylines. His on-screen relationship with Audrey always made me laugh. They were like chalk and cheese! Thanks for creating this - your hard work is much appreciated 👍✨

[@sharonlongfellow6064]

I never what an accomplished actor he was in just remember him in coronation Street you learn something new every day thanks alan .

[@MotorHomeBeepBeep]

That's great Sharon. He did many other roles but he's definitely most known for the long long time he spent in Coronation Street good old Alf Roberts.

[@trevorthompson7604]

Thank you for this Bryan Mosley Aka Alf Roberts was my favourite character in coronation street besides coronation street he did so much more rest in peace Bryan

[@cooksteve8428]

I drove one of the cars to the memorial service that was held for him, i had Barlow and co in the back, and Les battersby in the front with me!!

[@bessofhardwick9311]

I've been wanting to watch "Get Carter" for years. Didn't realise Brian was in it. That makes me want to to watch it even more. Thanks for uploading, Alan.

[@MotorHomeBeepBeep]

The strand singers Bess I'm sure I've seen a version of the film where Michael says to the character that Brian plays You're a strongman, but you're overweight and our condition etc ..... And then pushes him off the building. But in all the clips I've seen now you don't hear that. No idea why. Glad you enjoyed the film. Thank you, Alan

I have always liked Bryan Moseley the Actor especially in his part in " Get Carter". He was only in it for a few scenes but it was a memorable performance.

I didn’t ‘twig’ that you were a fellow Bradfordian… one reason to subscribe to your channel :)

Anton that's it I'm from Eccleshill originally nice to meet you mate Alan

[@anthonyellis987]

Bryan's appearance in Doctor Who: The Daleks' Master plan (with William Hartnell) as an alien and Keystone Studio actor sadly are missing and only exist in photographs. I remember him in Coronation Street as Alf Roberts (same name as Margaret Thatcher's father). RIP Bryan.

[@MotorHomeBeepBeep]

You always learn something. I never knew that Margaret Thatcher's father at the same name.

[@anthonyellis987]

@@MotorHomeBeepBeep He also ran a corner shop in which she worked as a young woman.

[@BeautifulBadandBizarre]

Ah that was sad - I remember watching Bryan aka Alf in Corrie - I didn’t know he died outside a supermarket. Great drone footage!

[@MotorHomeBeepBeep]

Thank you for the encouraging comment and it was sad he died at the doors next to the clock probably a couple of miles from home In Nabwood Shipley of a heart attack, it was in the local newspapers.

[@BeautifulBadandBizarre]

@@MotorHomeBeepBeep you’re welcome. I had no idea! It looks like a well kept peaceful resting place.

[@GregGNP]

There is a couple of other channels in the UK covering famous graves but I personally prefer your channel Alan. It is your relaxed style and your research is much better. Others tend to go on and on a bit too much but your delivery is much better hence why I subscribed. You can take it from someone who knows because I am a former National / International Radio presenter. I'm sure you would have heard of Long Wave Radio ATLANTIC 252 for example! 😉I make my own videos here but not with the intention of making money because KZbin is just a hobby for me. I wouldn't have the time to take it seriously. Anyway another great video and I look forward to more. I wish you continued success with your channel 😊👍

[@MotorHomeBeepBeep]

Hi Greg the one thing I really do enjoy about making the videos is I get to know the subjects by watching a documentary or to and I already usually know them to a reasonable degree. So when it gets the film I really enjoy it and it feels like you're meeting a friend which I know is ridiculous but it feels like that. That's a very kind observation. I'm glad you enjoy. All I'm really doing is talking to my friend which is the audience and when it comes to the comments people like you especially with you in depth comment makes it so enjoyable. I've got plans to carry on next year and I've opened the second channel whilst I'm travelling just to enhance the experience, I do know you're radio station and I understand totally time is limited but as long as you enjoy your KZbin experience, that's all that matters. Thank you for the moment. Much regards, Alan

[@steve61098]

Another good one….👍… like the drone shots….

[@MotorHomeBeepBeep]

Yes, thank you, Steve. I like the drone footage. I should have done a flyover at a lower level. I'll do it on the next one.

[@TrevorThompson-nf9dp]

Alf Roberts was a legend a great actor he should have never been written out of coronation street

[@williambowman7589]

Another interesting video

Thank you William. Very kind of you. Regards Alan

Get Carter legend

[@grahamblack1961]

He was a big man.

[@njp]

Very interesting , Alan, back in the day when Coronation Street was top viewing and you would sit watching every episode. Always ended on a cliff hanger. Nowadays I never watch it. The problem is there isn’t many older stronger characters and the ones that remain are on the back burner , giving all the main story lines to the youngsters who can’t hold it as they have no depth of character. This us what I have seen on the odd occasion I have tuned in , and soon tuned out I hasten to add lol. Did you ever do Coronation St as an extra in Manchester? Would have loved to have worked on it in its day. Went past the old Granada studios once on a visit to Manchester but now it’s all moved to Salford Quays. Thanks Alan, brilliant job❤

[@MotorHomeBeepBeep]

Hello John, I totally agree, but unfortunately I think that's part of Britain's society. We don't value older people nowadays and that comes out in the soap opera. So I agree with you. By the nature of them living longer, the older people have much to offer and it's not reflected. We tend to live in a youth society, don't we? We could take a leaf out of the book of other countries who value the older people. The first time I did coronation Street I was stood in the doorway with Emily Nugent which was weird. And yes we did it a few times in Manchester. It's great to see you friend. Very best regards, Alan

[@njp]

@@MotorHomeBeepBeep Absolutely agree there, Alan. I think a lot of Britain’s values have gone down the pan. Yes it’s very strange when you are in a TV studio and you are near or in a queue with someone well known who is very familiar to you , yet you don’t really know them. Happens a lot. Never been to Granada studios , well on the inside , seen the old building from the outside in Manchester, but it’s all gone now to Salford quays. Always great to get a message and pleased my messages are appreciated by you . Thanks ❤️

[@renamoore]

It's very interesting and amusing film

Hi Asbury I have been extra few times but I always say everybody is equally important. We all have a story to tell but I did write to a few people telling him a mini bio but maybe I might post it. Oh like you say answer questions. Maybe on the community page. If I can find what I put last time I'll copy and paste it in. But thank you ever so much for the interest. I really do appreciate Alan

[@BeasleyStreet]

@@MotorHomeBeepBeep kind of you to respond...with your charisma there must be an an interesting back story...

[@TheWacoKid1963]

The "Get Carter" car park was pulled down about 12 years ago, damn thing was falling to bits, there was a lot of places where the concrete had falling off exposing the rusting steel re-bar underneath, probably because Gateshead council doesn't like to spend money. Anyhow, the site is now ugly flats & a new Tesco supermarket, it was nominated for the 2014 Carbuncle Cup. From ITV news 1 September 2014 "Trinity Square in Gateshead, which replaced the now demolished 'Get Carter' car park, has been named among Britain's ugliest buildings. The development was the most nominated structure in this year's Carbuncle Cup, which is sponsored by architecture magazine Building Design. In response, Gateshead Council say "one person's masterpiece is another person's carbuncle."
