    It’s so sad seeing all the graves of people who you grew up with when you were little in the 70’s. Arthur English was a brilliant actor, thank you for showing where he’s now resting. He should have been given an OBE/CBE/MBE. Hoping you’re well Paul? You’re channel is just brilliant. Thank you 💖❤️💖

      The sickening thing is the likes of Arthur was never made a sir even though they all served and did their time and entertained the nation when we needed them......But the likes of Lenny Henrey who does nothing but slag our country off calling us racists and bigots is a night of the realm....

    Commenting from the USA here. I found about in just recently after looking up things on Jack Wild and finding Every Maths. Aurthur English and Jack Wild made such a wonderful team! It's regrettable they didn't get more work together. It's a bit hurtful to think that though the 70s technically isn't that far away, that these wonderful have already transitioned. Sometimes when I think about how everything passes so quickly, and we don't get a chance to have it again, I wonder what all of it means. Definitely makes me melancholy. Thank You for showing his resting place. Didn't realize he had been cremated. I said a prayer for him.

    Good evening Paul, firstly i love the new intro and exit music, it is lovely and soft, gentle and i think just perfect for the type of RUclips that you do. Then there's Arthur English who was a lovely man in all the various shows that you mentioned. Being born in 1966 my brother and I found out about television when we were about 8 /9> WHY? Because mum had one of those tv's that were behind cabinet doors and you just didn't mess about with mum's furniture. Anyway, i was about 8/9 when we found out about the telly and all the programmes that you mentioned were on and they were good, clean fun. Whenever someone texts me about going somewhere, it is normally "I'm free" in the John Inman voice that comes out. There were so many good, funny and clean characters out there during the 70's and 80's and yes you could see the wobbly props, walls, scenery, but that was apart of the show and what gave it it's special ingredient. I@d much rather go back through the 70's and 80's television than the rotten music that they thought hip and hot. Thank you Paul for a great run down of Arthur and his life and ties.

Didn't know he lived in Aldershot! you mentioned Bob Potter, I knew him before he became famous. He would be on the door at the Agincourt where I loved dancing. So thank you for memory lane were I once lived. X
