Brian Glover's Grave - Famous graves

Todays famous grave I visit legendary character actor Brian Glover. He was in the classic Kes, American Werewolf in London, Alien 3 and so much more.
Described by The New York Times as a "robust character actor" who played "gruff but likable roles", he had a "string of roles playing tough guys and criminals". He once said, "You play to your strengths in this game, and my strength is as a bald-headed, rough-looking Yorkshireman". Glover was also known as the voice of the Tetley tea commercials. The Independent described him upon his death as "one of Britain's best-loved actors".

Brian was incredible in Kes . . . a legendary performance.

" you sat in my seat " ! He was also in one of The Sweeney films and ends up getting machine gunned down at a scrap yard . He was also in Porridge .

[@suetodd1725]

I still feel sad when I see graves of someone as famous as Brian glover looking so uncared for,not even flowers,he was brilliant in porridge,and appeared in a lot of tv programs,Great entertainer,RIP Brian,thank you Paul total respect xxxx❤️😊

[@paulchollerton]

Agreed!! Very poor for such a great actor

[@mortuaryartist]

I felt the same when I realised Boris Karloff had a random plaque for his ashes, rather than a huge monolith, but it is what it is.

[@DIDCOTTWIST]

The bit in Kes with the football is such a brilliant piece on film as Brian just makes it such a believable teacher student relationship the kids must have loved filming that scene.

[@gabriel771100]

Ahhhhh Brian Glover was a brilliant versatile actor. Kes. American Werewolf in London. Alien 3, Porridge, Brannigan, The Sweeny, Minder and many more. Rest in peace sir and thank you for all the joy you gave me on TV when I was a kid! 🙏 And thank you Paul, I'm sorry it's late, I've only just watched this one! 👍

[@jamescunningham1973]

An unforgettable voice,he was great in Porridge,he really had a full life,RIP,well done Paul.

[@geoffpoole483]

What a career! He appeared in the episode of Whatever Happened to the Likely Lads? called "No Hiding Place". Bob and Terry had a bet with him that they would avoid hearing the score of an England football match played that day. A former work colleague of mine was from Barnsley and Brian Glover was his English teacher; he was nothing like the character he played in Kes.

[@paulguise698]

Hiya Geoff, what part did Brian play in Kes?

[@barrykelly471]

@@paulguise698 he was the pe teacher.

[@darrencarr9176]

Its been said but his role in Kes was truly magical. I'm surprised he's nor buried in Yorkshire.

[@monkwhitley]

Absolutely loved him ast PE teacher in Kes ( early shower for you lad ).. His character epitomised our PE teachers of the 60s - 70s ,basically deluded bullies. . RIP Mr Glover what a star 🌟

[@kieronjones5460]

His most memorable roles for me were in Kes, Porridge and Bottom. I must admit I had no idea his career was so varied; I had heard he was a wrestler, but all those other roles and the writing I had no idea. All respect to Brian.

[@jessicapayne8622]

He had a real bird in his bed too

[@paulcrisp9861]

I remember ages ago suggesting the where abouts of Brian Glover, strangely enough I got my wish, I can't believe there are no flowers 😢 at his graveside knowing how famous he was. Gone but never forgotten, R I P Brian 🙏❤️🇬🇧❤️🙏 Nov twenty two

[@darranweston9425]

Loved Brian in Gas with the late Rik Mayall and Ade Edmondson, trying to tap into Brian's gas meter to nick gas and the mayhem that ensued. Lovely to see where he's buried but what a plain marker to honour such a great man Thanks once again Paul

[@susanbrown2909]

Yeah..hilarious.

[@dennisfieldhouse2234]

brian glover a brilliant actor the one part in the film kes will always stick in one's mind is that infamous dive while playing football with the pupils and he missed the first penalty shot but ordered it to be retaken as the goalkeeper moved as brian himself was also the referee god bless you bian and thanks for all the laughs R.I.P

[@paulguise698]

My favourite line on Kes is "the fat twat he needs bleeding milking the big fat get"

[@stevestone07]

Loved him as the Sports teacher who thought he was Bobby Charlton Mr Casper in the classic movie Kes.

[@geoffpoole483]

Dennis Law's in the wash.

[@MrTerryb1956]

I loved Brian in the film Kes , when he played the role of a teacher , when he took his class out to play football he was the Ref and Bobby Charlton at the same time [ what a legend ] . Its a great part of the film and always takes me back yo my youth.

[@kevinparker461]

I was 11 years old when i saw that, makes me laugh everytime i think of it, & i am now 65 years old & i have laughed alot!

[@qiviutqueen5705]

He was also in an episode of last Of The Summer Wine- in Keeping Britain tidy. Great actor.

[@belfastfella3240]

I didn't realise he was in so many acting roles , brilliant actor , looking forward to this 😊❤

[@ian_i.o.m495]

Best version of a P. E. teacher ever to be done in Kes. 👊👍😁

[@Emptywallsphotography]

Brian was in a episode of Minder as "Yorkie" it was the episode "The Beer Hunter 1980" . He lost his trousers or Kegs in this episode and was so funny to watch. Once someone left a spare pair of trouser by his grave.

[@johnhall1652]

Brian also appeared in the Sweeney and Minder. Brilliant character actor, loved his performance in Kes, still makes me laugh

[@haroldclarke3267]

Brilliant Paul,thank you, in the 90s I took the wife shopping at the big shopping centre in Sheffield and I literally bumped into him,and as soon as he spoke to me I new it was Brian Glover, kes what a brilliant film, another gem Paul. Keep them coming, cheers.

[@Elvisultimatefanchannel]

He was hilarious as the PE Teacher in Kes. Who noticed a young Rik Myall in An American Werewolf in London? Great video Paul,Thanks Steve

[@cliffbutler9820]

It's great to see you keeping these great actors and stars memories alive.

[@petedavie6347]

Great Actor, Great Character, Unmistakable Voice of the 70's. Loved him in the Sweeney as Moose

[@Karin-]

Amazing the number of people who we haven't thought about in years until something like this happens and reminds you of them. I hadn't realised he had passed. Thanks for sharing, may he RIP. Maybe your little "incident" with your phone was him saying thank you for remembering him 😊

[@angelafoster5777]

I remember him in the Porridge film & obviously his voice on the "Tetley tea" adverts. He always seemed a gentle giant xx

[@creationinmotion4124]

As a Yorkshire man I was really proud of these adverts. Well done Paul ❤❤

[@ChrisWakitsch]

Brian Glover was perfect as Lugg in Campion. He’s the main reason I enjoy the show so much.

[@MilitaryGamer83]

I'm actually from Barnsley, I'm a massive American Werewolf in London Fan my greatest horror ever and love Kes. A huge Bottom, Porridge Fan and I never realised it was him doing the Tetley Ad. Also Paul "Remember The Alamo?"

[@suemckenna2430]

An underrated actor , Im glad youve done this one as so.many character actors tend to be forgotten .

[@johnmh1000]

What a great actor. I've never forgotten a monologue that he did for Winter for Hymns of Praise in the 80s. It was unmissable, but never been able to find it - keep on looking!

[@markrennie1821]

Always remember him from porridge and Kes.. what a classic film

[@scottlambert2949]

Thanks for sharing another video of another great British actor and have a great Sunday and week

[@wendyfletcher4458]

Hi Paul 👋 I remember him being in Bottom. My son watched episode that he was in several times, Greetings from Peterborough 🥰

[@stevennuttall8141]

Having walked around Brompton Cemetery this morning and googled ‘famous people’ in said cemetery… I was shocked to see a distant relative was laid to rest there, Brian Glover! This video proved extremely useful in locating Brian’s grave and even managed to leave him a white flower on there… I couldn’t locate a white rose (Yorkshires flower) in time. Much appreciated!

[@UnusualThings1]

My pleasure, glad it came in handy for you…. 🙏

[@janinechell9804]

Brilliant Actor..I loved him in porridge & many more... Many thanks Paul as always..fantastic to see xx

[@markdigby6690]

I seem to remember Brian appeared in a episode of Some Mothers Do Have Them. Mid 70s..he played Frank Spencers (Michael Crawford ) warehouse boss ...getting more and more irate coz Frank kept messing up. Great character actor . Sadly missed. But. Fondly remembered. Thanx Paul for all your hard work in researching and travelling to these famous peoples final resting places.

[@Cradley684]

American Werewolfe in London Classic effects for the time, great actor to say the least, RIP Brian !!!.

[@12barmac]

My favourite film An American Werewolf in London...one thing I did notice on that film is the door of The Slaughtered Lamb when David and Jack entered the outside was a full panelled top to bottom door and inside it was 6 panel door... and Brian's football ref part in Kes is one of the funniest of the old films I have seen...

[@carolhodson6353]

A good acting he was liked bye alot of people sadly missed.

I Will Always Remember Him. He Had A Powerful Presence About Him. R.I.P🧡

Hello Paul🙋‍♀️ I remember seeing Brian Glover in the Musical “La Cage Aux Folles” at the London Palladium, in 1986!! It was a wonderful production, and very funny. It was the first show I saw at the Palladium. Thank you again for an interesting video.📹

[@Ksknight100]

Great character, Brian Glover. Loved him in An American Werewolf... and Alien III. And of course as the neighbour in Bottom episode "Gas". And he appeared alongside a young Rik Mayall in an American Werewolf in that classic pub scene. I also believe in the paranormal and I reckon Brian was messing with you and the end there Paul; a bit of playful "wrestling" to say thanks for being there and remembering him. Top video as always, my friend. Respect.

[@trevorbrown6654]

I knew someone who saw him in an open air theatre production in the 80s or early 90s (it might have been The Canterbury Tales). Apparently he was talking to people on their way in and being a bit cheeky with the audience by playfully insulting the lads and asking the women for a kiss and then squeezing their bottom if they got a bit too close. It was all in good cheeky fun of course and in line with the rowdy character he was playing, although I don't think anyone would dare act like that now. I think it shows the kind of down to earth person he was. So playing with the phone from beyond the grave sounds about right for him.

[@alisonprince1102]
