Great job as always Paul and totally respectful. Saw Big Pat Bomber Roach in his Wrestling days and he was BIG. Well done as always Paul 👍👍

[@Pellegrineanita]

[@50sRockChick]

He was filming AWP in our village in the 80’s. We watched them for a bit saw him and he waved at us. He was so tall. We met Jimmy Nail and Timothy Spall, both lovely. Kevin Whatley was a miserable sod though. What a lovely resting place for Pat.

[@stephenchecksfield632]

Beautiful tribute video to the late Pat Roach as a big fan of Auf Wiedersehen Pet i have every single episode and also the specials they made Pat was truly a amazing actor as well in previous before coming a actor a good wrestler and also I remember when they were filming the Auf Weidersehen Pet special in Thailand the last appearance of Pat Roach as is my understanding you could see how through i believe it was cancer that took Pat sadly he was such a icon as was the late Gary Holten aka Wayne who died so young sadly and to my mind Auf Weidersehen pet will always be a classic comedy drama rest in peace Pat Roach and Gary Holten ❤❤

[@janetjohns3957]

Was with a friend and briefly saw Pat Roach working at a scrapyard near Handsworth in Birmingham about three years before he died. He was a big man with a warm smile.

[@therealbrummie7022]

[@martinnaylor]

Loved watching AVP as a kid and still enjoy them now,also a massive Indiana Jones fan so it was good to see Pat in the first three movies.

[@TheFoxyb]

Oh how I loved Bomber in Auf Wiedersehn, I was so glad that they gave his character a happy ending in Arizona rather than kill him off. A gentle giant.

[@shaye6598]

Nice video. Very respectful. I too love walking and sitting in graveyard’s. They aren’t spooky, they are calming and peaceful.

[@marlenegardner2696]

[@steffanhoffmann8937]

A myriad of beautiful trees Paul. Thanks. There's not the same variety, in Alanya Turkey, Med Sea climate. Lots of palm trees, banana, olives, Avocado trees etc. But the colours are not as pretty as that graveyard. No rain since March 10 here. Blue sky and sun ☀️ boring? No mate only the trees are missed by yours truly Great presentation btw.

[@bigmick3978]

massive AWP fan pat roach was gentleman fondly rememberd by everyone he ever worked with have seen the grave many times looking forward to this RIP BOMBER

[@alanms10]

I had the pleasure of meeting Pat at a book signing in WHSmith Redditch in 2002. I thought I was tall at 6ft 2, but he seemed to tower above me as he walked from the back of the store to the front. He was a great character, a gentle giant of a man. ,

[@guineagirl5078]

Strong as an ox, gentle as a kitten

[@rhosman1000]

[@christopherdale7017]

I used live near Bromsgrove when I first lived in the UK 1984-86,I lived at Rurbery and outter Birmingham suburb. But for me Pat Roach was the Stanley Kubrick films,Robin hood, Indiana Jones more then the usual things people remember him for. Thanks Paul for another good grave visit.

[@gayleh9846]

I met him briefly way back in the 80's at a Birmingham nightclub called 'The Dome'...very polite gentle guy..he also went to the same school as my dad. Alfiedersane pet was brilliant too( possible spelling mistake on that )lol.. I live near to Bromsgrove cemetery, never been yet but plan on going,I agree how peaceful cemeteries are. Thankyou for sharing🤗 always makes me feel a bit sad of the loss of celebs I grew up with... R.I.P Mr Pat Roach.🕊️🕊️

[@stevencarter87]

[@MavAuto-Pete]

Great little tribute to Pat Bomber Roach... my favourite next to jimmy nail. Thank you Paul.

[@mikesparkes6679]

Thank you for posting this. My late father was born in Bromsgrove in 1927 before moving to Colchester in 1934. The Sparkes family are from Bromsgrove originally so I am sure there are some buried in that very cemetery.

[@marktaylor4910]

Great indeed! AWPet was amazing!! Sensitivity done again mate!

[@dennisfieldhouse2234]

another great show paul.pat was in many films the one that sticks out in my mind was the rising damp movie where he played a rugby player alongside don warrington with leonard rossiter trying to give pat lessons on how to play the game until pat bopped him on the nose but all for film and in good fun r.i.p pat roach

[@vetty1405]

Thanks Paul, brilliant podcast as usual. Thank you for your sensitivity to the dead and their families, you're an understanding and caring man. Look forward to seeing your next podcast. Blessings.

[@lawsonrichards2584]

Wow I always thought pat was a west country or cornish man, old school pat, class !!! Great video, cheers

[@sharon6182]

Hi Paul I loved Bomber he was an amazing actor and person Thanks for the video xx

[@aishahbintadam7290]

Hi Paul 🌹 I agree with you… I love nature it peaceful tranquility above all its hearts as you said handsome ❤

[@robdodd4591]

You are very right about relaxing in cemetarys. I have been going to my Dads (and since 2002 my Mums) graves since 1982 in a lovely cemetery in Somerset. I walk around after tending their grave. I try and do a different route every time and it does let me relax and respect and appreciate life and how we are all equal. Thankyou again for a very respectful and informative video

[@eileengoehring6080]

Its lovely to see really old trees still standing in some of the cemetery's Brandwood End cemetery in Birmingham has very old oak trees and lots of conifers, plenty of bird's and squirrels , very peaceful!!!!

[@francesmillington1870]

Loved Auf Wiedersehen Pet. RIP Bomber.

[@susanbrown2909]

Grave yards are not creepy places or haunted…people never died in the churchyard did they with the greatest respect. They are havens for wild life..such peaceful places. Thanks Paul .

[@richardchandler1185]

A great video Paul. As others have said Pat was great in AWP Tv series. He was a man of many talents. RIP Pat Roach. You maybe gone but never forgotten.

[@helenphillips4204]

A very handsome guy,and has the same birthday as me. I always preferred his character to the others. Sweet cheeky squirrel xx

[@grahamhill2267]

Another lovely video Paul! With reference to your opening monologue about cemeteries being mind clearing and back to nature, I find that even though they are places of sadness, they’re also places of great love! The love for our dear departed family and friends!

[@Pellegrineanita]

Yes I agree xx

[@paulmorgan464]

Full respect to you Paul you so good dealing with issues that arises

[@patriciabennett1819]

A well renowned actor who is sadly missed. Watched Auf Wiedson Pet and he was brilliant in that. Just so much respect for all he achieved and his martial arts accomplished is remarkable. Paul you once again showed us around in a calm respectful manner whilst showing us Pat Roach’s grave without going too close as a recent burial had taken place. Kudos. It really shows you care. Nature is wonderful and the tree was impressive too. Remembering all is so wonderful and you do a excellent job of bringing us a reminder of great people whilst valuing life itself. Thank you so very much. Kindest regards.

[@alanblackford2962]

Loved watching him wrestle on a Saturday afternoon listening to the grunts and groans and mum shouting at the tv. It was great to see him in some good films and of course Auf Wiedersehen Pet where I'm sure that he played himself, coming across as a gentle giant, but don't rub him up the wrong way ? Love seeing the final resting places of our famous wrestlers.

[@2strokecherry]

So good that you bring these people back to light

[@roydavies260]

Much respect Paul. Thank you best wishes

[@Ksknight100]

Sad that the family have had a recent loss. RIP. I live in Bromsgrove, about 5 minute drive from the cemetery. It's a shame that his stone has been stored, as it is a lovely headstone. Also, Paul..... grrrr. I wish I'd have known you were coming to visit, we could have gone for a coffee and I could have shown you my police and toy museum!! Also, John Bonham (Led Zeppelin) grave is nearby here.... you should do that one too mate if you can. Top video mate. Thanks for sharing.

[@hxjay1971]
