Yet another immensely talented, truly wonderful, humble gentleman overlooked in terms of proper recognition by his country. Why on earth wasn't he SIR Peter? No, we save such accolades for blokes who kick balls around a pitch, drive cars fast or get elected and profit from lies and deceit......

[@rickmontgomery3037]

Excellent point and well said...

[@BB-wc9jx]

So true David

[@RedDeathShinigami]

Eddie fuckin Redmayne is fucking knighted and for what? It's a fuckin shame today...

[@vendvere1637]

I never realized just how truly sweet Peter Cushing was. A genuine, bona fide sweetheart...

[@gailjacquelinemrsgray.2518]

Christopher and Peter are the best number 1 macabre actors of the horror film history, i miss them greatly. R I P Peter and Christopher until we met again.

[@racheldoesacrylic4089]

i wanted to cry when he mentioned his wife you could see he loved her ,so many yrs later/ peter was such a beautiful soul ,not a drop of a big head in him , god he was a STAR and didn't get what he deserved ,but i don't think it mattered, what a treasure/never see his like again 2022 x

[@ntak7716]

Such a great actor and a wonderful man.A real gentleman.

[@LALakersNornIron]

Was there anyone Peter Cushing didnt work with? He worked with so many huge stars but he himself was the biggest and brightest star of all. There will never again be anyone like The Cush.

[@nickedwards212]

Very true I couldn't agree more he was absolutely fabulous.

[@amysands8925]

And through it all he was so humble.

[@thomasthomas2418]

A commenter once said that Peter Cushing and Christopher Lee were the great "bromance" of the 20th century and I, for one, cannot find a flaw in that statement. God Bless Peter and Chris!

[@mfi_7419]

What a total Sweetheart and an English Gentleman, Bless you Peter

[@leslietarkin5705]

He was a lovely, humble, Christian man and a great actor. RIP Peter.❤

[@user-rs7td4hc2d]

A lovely tribute to Peter Cushing. One of the most under rated British actors. Ridiculous that he did not receive an OBE until he was 76. Lovely comments by Christopher Lee and John Mills. Brings back great memories of all those wonderful Hammer Horror films. A brilliant Sherlock Holmes and his performance in 1984 is captivating. Pure class and a really nice guy.

[@johngarcia8827]

Good to be with a bunch of Peter Cushing fans

[@ahmetahmet-pq1yr]

Christopher and peter great actors of hammer horrors. I miss you both. God be with you. I still watch your movies. R.I.P.

[@guitareveryone]

I loved the Peter Cushing movies as a child especially The Curse Of Frankenstein and of course the Dracula movies. Great actor and such a fine gentleman.

[@lw3646]

The lovely thing too is unlike some other past show buisness stars is that he had no skeletons in his closet. He seems just 100% real, thoughtful and charming and really dedicated to his art.

[@garygrimmett7945]

I am a major pete cushing and chris lee fan...I got his autograph in a book hammer years past forgetting from a friend who lived near to him in Whitstable and I wrote to him thanking him immensely...then he wrote back thanking me for the letter!!!...says it all true gent and still watch hammer films all the time..legend ❤️ hammergazz.

[@madkittyjoey70]

Christopher Lee's family always treated Peter like he was one of them. :-) x

[@hcu4359]

I saw a great behind the scenes shot recently from House of the Long Shadows, of the Lees, Cushing and I think an older female cast member. Peter was lightly tapping young Christina Lee on the shoulder, seemingly encouraging her to look at the camera/sit up straight. Very much the uncle. :)

[@marvinlewis2144]

Legend.be remembered in a thousand years.a true master of his craft.and such a gentleman.sadly missed.

[@nickedwards212]

You always knew when Peter Cushing was in a horror film it was time to hide behind the sofa. There will never be another one like our very own Peter Cushing. Thank you so very very much Peter for all your incredible fantastic films. And they really are so good and that's why I've got every single one of them. Thank you Peter Thank you my very good friend. R.I.P

[@ROCKINGMAN]

One of the best english actors. Always love a good Peter Cushing film. I know he missed he wife terribly and it seemed his life wasn't the same without her. A great human being.

[@bonniescott6470]

[@PeterOHalloran-hf2ho]

We grew up watching all those great horror actors and Peter cushing was my favourite of all time what a magnificent actor and a buetifull human being my hero from that era

[@mauriziorc6380]

He was so in love with his wife you can see him gasp when the host mentions her

[@deanberker]

Brilliant actors. Happy memories. RIP Christopher and Peter.

[@graham870]

brilliant actor sadly missed

[@Borusa1976]

07:16 just totally shows how respected Peter Cushing was.

[@markfarnon6742]

Men like Peter Cushing made Britain better.

[@hcu4359]

Peter Ustinov was honestly a shocker...I knew they had worked together, but never realized they were "fly in from Paris to be part of this is your life episode" levels of close.

[@bowler8]

Brilliant, such a lovely man

[@stephenturner6075]

I miss Peter Cushing.

[@BruceAlarie]

what a sweet tribute

[@markness7543]

Nice man to everyone . Very humble .but a true star of movies

[@paulhall3281]

If only we could go back in time . . Some times they's only one of a kind . And you was it Peter x

[@sharonellis8776]

This is great. It would have been such an honour to meet him. RIP Peter Cushing xx

[@glennhoddle10]

Christopher Lee and Peter Cushing were the best of friends. When Peter died just 4 years after this broadcast, Christopher's family said he was so distraught , he felt a major piece of him died along with Peter. He became withdrawn and was never the same again until his own death in 2015, reuniting the 2 best mates in heaven.

[@hcu4359]

Lee didn't have a brother of his own, and Cushing's older brother supposedly married a woman who really didn't like having an actor in the family, so to me it always seemed like the two actors adopted each other as brothers instead.

[@childrenofminervaofficial4316]

For Sir Christopher, losing both Vincent Price AND Peter Cushing within less than a year of each other was a double-whammy.

[@steveclayton2353]

I so respect Mr cushing very humble.

[@amigodawn1728]

Wonderful people not just wonderful Actors. Bless them all.

[@tonylilley6611]

Fantastic memories

[@nelliebuttercup8953]

What wonderful comments

[@joycegibbs5267]

why did they wait until the poor angel was near his death. What a perfect example of a gentleman, with the emphasis on "gentle". There's certainly nobody like him anymore tragically.

[@hcu4359]

He supposedly said for years that if the show tried to surprise him, he would walk out. 1990 was when the show was talking about doing it and Bernard Broughton (one of Cushing's caretakers) talked the actor into it with the backing of some of Cushing's friends, including Mr. Gray (who we met in the previous part). So basically, he had to fake being surprised.

[@kevinobrien3915]

I grew up with this films

[@petemiddleton64]

he was great actor

[@gailjacquelinemrsgray.2518]

[@ianofliverpool7701]

[@mus139]

They don't make them like Peter Cushing anymore.
