Brilliant video Paul, such a loss to entertainment they were all class.

[@briboy2009]

Richard Beckinsale loved to party. I was working at Chelmsford Prison and was there when they filmed the Porridge movie. How Witzend productions got permission to film in a real prison is beyond me. However, the prison was being refurbished having suffered fire damage so I guess that helped. Richard would visit various nightspots whilst there and would turn up on set the worse for wear the next day. As a result, he did not remember a lot of his lines. Ronnie Barker on the other hand was the exact opposite and would be word perfect every time. Even so, Richard was a very likeable character, I was so shocked when he passed away so young.

All names I grew up with and so sad that the majority of them were so young. I was particularly shaken when Richard Beckinsale died unexpectedly. I was only a kid still at school but he was such a household name and so handsome.

Me too, the way he slowly sank into that red silk 'gown', with that blonde headed girl handing him items, I honestly thought it was part of his act, and the audience did too, according to their laughter.

Tommy Cooper's act was based around being a terrible magician, but in fact he was a 1st Class magician, a member of the Inner Magic Circle. That organisation were very serious and didn't suffer fools gladly. Cooper had to be a master magician in order to be able to ham his act convincingly.

I used to really enjoy watching the Kenny Everett Television Show with his brilliant range of characters. Sid Snot, Gizzard Puke, Reg Prescott DIY Man amongst many others. Everett was also great friends with Freddie Mercury who actually agreed to be on an episode of his TV show right in the middle of a tour of the United States. Freddie apparently flew back especially for to appear in Kenny's show for not even 5 minutes, before catching a flight back to the US to reconvene the tour with the rest of Queen. Kenny Everett of course, if you watched the movie Bohemian Rhapsody was the one who gave the song airtime on the Radio after everyone else said that the 6 minutes was too long so I think that Freddie in particular was immensely grateful to him.

[@lozzii1917]

Exactly this is why so many many hotels, guest houses, Theatres, entertainment bars and clubs, old disused buildings including Prisons etc etc are so very very Haunted as hundreds upon hundreds famous people have died in them doing the job they loved but very sadly some have died for all wrong reasons ie some by suicide some by alcohol and drug poisoning like Whitney Houston and Delores from Cranberries found dead in bath tub by housekeeper then there's ones like Gene Pitney did Concert went to his room for rest before next concert died he was absolutely amazing guy such talent such vocals he did that Somethings got hold of my heart with that guy from Soft Cell Marc Almond I was shocked to hear his death in news. Another great singer that totally blown my mind was wen I was seriously very unwell in non life threatening way last Summer in hospital to find my friend and I favourite Country and Western singer Nanci Gritthith died 63 think she was her funeral and cause death was private but she was very close to Singer John Prinne who died several months before so many don't share there details either by personal choice and or they don't want there relatives memorial or grave mobbed by fans which I totally understand with advancement in technology we can find out things about them that wasn't avaliable at time so can easily find the information on Google. Tommy Cooper was hilarious but like so many he was chronic alcoholic chronic insomniac smoked heavily like Charles Hawtree he had hardening of arteries he collapsed in hotel hospital wanted amputate his legs to save him he refused and died days late in Nursing Home those that didn't smoke, drink and take drugs excessively their deaths are equally very tradgic as for Kenny Everett I'm surprised he wasn't Buried as like me was Staunch Catholic as Catholic's we don't usually believe in Cremation but of late there's been loads of Cremations that were Catholic and other Religions that don't believe in Cremations and vise versa it's partly due to cost and Cemetery and Crematorium all full up hence why family plots if not renewed wen lease up use to be 50 years now it's 20 years they dig up the plot anything remaining in the ground is pulverised and churned up in the ground ready for next set of remains even with one's closed to public you won't find ancestors or pay actors, actresses, medical people, scientists etc graves as they likely been dug up to prepare for next plot I've not been able to trace my ancestors graves despite using find a grave website and ancestor websites obituaries it's annoying and frustrating but theses KZbin people doing the graves search videos for us I thank you I no how hard it is but I also now know how very hard and how elusive it can be especially if your finding someone under there real name and NOT there stage name or you don't no there real name so great work keep it up ignite the haters with the nasty negative attitude there not worth it block them as God always said seek and you shall find just takes time, effort, as well as lot resources and money etc so don't worry about it we love your channel we love the nostalgia and memories you grave visitors on KZbin bring if use do duplicates so be it ie tell the same story at same grave or memorial so what I'll still be interested as what you say other might of said something different. Before becoming far too severely Disabled I use to also go round old Cemeteries in utter awe at some of the graves how elaborately extortionate they must of cost even in Pet Cemetery one monument or statue was from what I heard 500 pounds that was 20 years ago same price for my Dogs funeral burial in Pet Cemetery around same time

Hi. I have a cemetery suggestion for you. The city of London cemetery and crematorium. It's in east London. Aldersbrook road. manor park. It's the largest cemetery in Europe. There you will find Bobby Moore. Dame Anna negale. And the finale resting places of Catherine Eddowes. And Mary Nichols. Two victims of Jack the ripper. . I don't live that far away from the cemetery so help you might need . I would be happy to help. Willow.
