To be fair, i thought some of these stars had passed on. I'm glad they're still going.
Noel Edmonds is a great example of finding a hairstyle you like and sticking with it.
And keeping your talent well hidden.
@@IDBARTLETTwell he’s hidden in Newzealand,and apparently not very well liked so I hear.Lot of British people in nz..
Great selection Stu. I think I was most shocked by Paul Nicholas, probably because he was the only one I hadn’t seen since the eighties. Can’t believe Michael Aspel is 91! I feel very old.
Thanks Jan. Michael Aspel looks amazing for 91.
@@stuviewtv he certainly does.
This is great. By telling us in advance the people featured are all still with us, the reaction to each photo is "ohhh, so-and-so is still alive".
The Vicar Of Dibley is an absolute gem of a series. Immensely funny with loveable character's. I love watching the reruns of this brilliantly written series. RIP to all the actors no longer with us, which sadly I believe is most of them.
great compilation,......and good memory jerker of better times
I haven't watched much telly since the 90s so I still remembered them as they were. It was a bit shocking to see how old they were and how much they have changed. Some I wouldn't have recognised and a couple have aged well so didn't look much different. I wonder how much I've changed compared to what I see in the mirror.
God I feel old...😂
We had the best of times though
God I am old
Nostalgic goodness! Love this so much😊 Thanks Stu
Glad you enjoyed it! Many thanks.
Would you mind Stu, just a massive thank you for bringing all these past memories, and re-igniting memories to life. Thank you so much and how much it is appreciated!
That's really nice of you to say. Many thanks! So glad you are enjoying the memories.
I couldn't bear Lenny Henry... still can't. 🇬🇧🇬🇧
Neither can I,
& me
Thank you for putting this together, I'm glad they are all still with us 📺👍
My pleasure!
Its fair to say that some have aged better than others for their age! but one thing they all have in common is that they gave great entertainment to one and all and are great individuals indeed. So praise be with them one and all.
Very well said.
Perfect to unwind to after a long shift. Nostalgia ❤ fantastic channel. Thank you.
That's great to hear. Many thanks!
A lot of memories from the 1980s on this video.
I remember watching Anita Dobson in Play Away which must have been one of the first things she did.
No matter how bad old age treats a woman, it’s not as bad as the effects of plastic surgery.
Goodnight Sweetheart was my favourite sitcom, and Peter Davison was my favourite Doctor until David Tennant came along 😂
They were All bloody good oh how I miss the Eighties ☝️🧐
Jasper carrot lived near my secondary school, I saw him twice, he was a good lad, I said hey carrot how are you? He acknowledged me, said hi the other time I was far and he simply put his hand up,
A great guy.
They all look great and are great
I waited then watched in wonder. WOW so well presented.
Many thanks Mark
@stuviewtv You've put together a great line up for this video, very much appreciated.
Many thanks.
This is a very well done video. Thank you for making it
Many thanks.
Fabulous 👍. You didn't mention Ian McShane was in Dallas for quite a while in the 90s.
Favourites are definitely David Jason and Nicholas Lyndhurst, Paul Nicholas was a bit of a heartthrob of the 80s, hard to believe he's nearly 80. We always watched Jasper Carrot my brother was a big fan. You couldn't turn the tv on in the 80s without seeing Russ Abbot, and every party you went to the DJ was playing "Oh what an atmosphere " 😂😂 Thanks for the video Stu enjoyed it as always 🙂
Thanks as always Julie. You've got me singing Atmosphere now you've mentioned it! One of those songs that just sticks in your head.
@stuviewtv 🤣🤣that's made me laugh Stu, when you said Russ Abbot that came into my head 😁 and I instantly wished it hadn't 🤣
@@Julie-sm7sp Maybe we should start a campaign to get it to number one this Christmas!
@stuviewtv 🤣🤣🤣 let's do it Stu.
for me there all stars,they have given us all great entertainment over the years,i wish them all well
So many happy memories. I remember when swap shop came 2 my town it was so exciting 🤣
I loved that
Another gem Stu
Thanks Richard.
I may or may not have said this somewhere, but Allo Allo is one of those shows that never ceases to make me 'proper' laugh. And some of those actors / actresses in your video, I didn't even know they were still 'doing'.
John Nettles appeared in the brilliant Robin of Sherwood.
That was a brilliant series in the 80's, Clannad did the music. I also remember watching The Tripods back then which was was also really good for the time.
@@Simon-fr4ts only half hour ago I did weightlifting to the ROS incidental music. Love that show still 40 years later.
does anyone else think that Anita Dobson looks like the evil stepmother from Disney's Cinderella now?
Ade Edmondson first appeared on TV as part of "the Dangerous Brothers" along with Rik Mayall in the BBC's "Boom Boom Go Out The Lights" in 1980 (2yrs before "The Young Ones") they also appeared on "Friday Night Live" . he was also in "Filthy, Rich and Catflap" and his own comedy show "Teenage Kicks".
I knew someone would put a name on her -
Didn't John Nettles play Nerys Hughes's boyfriend Paul in The Liver Birds? I used to love that 70s sitcom. Great video btw. Really enjoying your channel😊
He did yes! Glad you enjoyed the video. Many thanks!
Yer dancin?
Whose askin?
I'm askin.
I'm dancin.
Loved The Liver Birds too. Brilliant tv😅
Excellent Video Stu, only fools and horses, just good friends , were my favourites ....love seeing the stars as they were and how they are now 👍👍👍
Thanks Steve!
👍 Great collection Stu…
Remember Michael Aspel from ‘ask Aspel’
Jennifer Saunders also had a couple of appearances in the young ones
And brought back memories of Jasper Carrott , the mole sketch and ‘the magic roundabout’ 😏
Jasper has always been one of my favourites. I think his humour really resonates with me being from the Midlands too. Glad you enjoyed the video. Many thanks as always!
Brilliant
Outstanding work stu!
Thank you kindly!
Fantastic, highlight of the week when a Stu video drops - thanks
Thanks Tony!
Thank you for mentioning the new Paddington film, I was wondering when/if it was going to be filmed.
Yes agreed love Julie walters
Not long left for some of these legends
Hello Stu🙋♀️ Thank you for another nostalgic video 📹 My favourite Situation Comedies 🎭 were “Butterflies” and “Allo Allo.” I saw most of the original cast of “Allo Allo” in the stage production at the Prince of Wales Theatre in London’s West End. It was an excellent show. It is sad that many of the cast members are no longer with us...
Hello Alison. I never got to see the Allo Allo stage show but I'm sure I would have loved them!
Immaculate production as ever, Stu. Had completely forgotten about Davro (perhaps a good thing?). Do I detect a slight obsession with Vicki Michelle? Appears regularly in these retrospectives...
Thanks Dan. Vicki is always a good choice to brighten up any Stuview production!
Sir David Jason is my favourite British actor of all time although, I adore Stephen Fry too
💎 best half hour relax with still with us famous friends!
Thanks Mark.
Thanks for all your hard work Stu. I always thoroughly enjoy your content.
So glad you enjoy the videos. Many thanks!
Excellent show.
Many thanks.
I know its a lot to ask, but can we not all agree on a year - I propose 1981 to 1986 - and just stick with it?
I'm not deaf to the fact that we would have to employ some massive brain power to figure out time distillation and bottom out scratchy bits like the Berlin wall still being up, but it has to be worth a shot.
I want to watch Tomorrows World with a can of Um-bongo and then settle in to an episode of When the Boat Comes in before bed.
Awesome video. I know he wasn’t a huge star but I would have loved to see mention of Richard Digance 😞 He is a wonderful performer
I love your channel. Thank you, Stu. 😊
That's really great to hear! Much appreciated as always.
I have seen many play the part of Heathcliffe through the years, but I still think Ian McShane was back then and still the best Heathcliffe ever.
As a Star Trek fan, the first television role I remember Joan Collins in was as the doomed charity worker Edith Keeler, who has to die so that the Allies can win WW2, because if she doesn't her continued existence will cause a chain reaction in history, because she leads a pacifist movement that stops the Allies winning the war, and strands Kirk and his landing party on the planet of The Guardian of Forever. I later saw some of her early film roles, including a historical fantasy/horror where she is entombed as an Ancient Egyptian queen, in her late husband's tomb, to stop her taking over his role as pharaoh.
Was it land of the Pharaohs, she was Princess Nellipher
Prior to all that she appeared in a promotional film for the Gas Council, which extolled the benefits of all the byproducts from the production of coal-gas.
The episode with Joan Collins is my very favorite of all the Star Trek series!
I'm genuinely surprised that some of these are still with us.
Nicholas also played Ronnie Barkers son in Going straight. He once started in a play staged at Eden Court Inverness. Where he said Inverness is a lovely place to visit if you want to be bored stiff. He's been forgiven. I remember seeing Jimmy Nail on a Saturday morning kids programme, Jimmy had taken his son on the show and the wee man proved he was funnier than Jimmy making fun of him.
Could you consider doing a video(I'm an 70s child)compilation of festive programmes. Cheers
Absolutely. Nearer the festive season I will definitely have a look at that.
"Monty Python's Flying Circus", "Dr.Who", "Mr. Bean", "All Creatures Great and Small" and "Yorkshire Vet", Dominic Keating (Lt. Reed on "Enterprise", and so many others. My very favourite died last year in Sept. He played Dr. Ducky Mallard, but did so much other things, including doing music, narration of stories, plays, voice narration of computer games, writing a book, and doing autopsies!
Always liked Russ Abbot in his various guises....Cooperman, Basildon Bond, Jimmy and Vince Prince and the Tone Deafs. He hasn't aged badly. Same goes for John Nettles and Bobby Davro. John still has a sparkle in his eye at 80! And Vicki Michelle still looks great. Maybe a sense of humour helps. Thanks for all your hard work finding these pictures, Stu.
My pleasure Carole. Thanks as always for watching!
Thanks for the memories. I remember dancing to "Flat Foot Flloyd" by Paul Nicholas. 😂😂😂
How old are Ian McShane's teeth though? I bet they are not from Blackburn.
Ian gets his teeth done in Accrington
@@danieladams9950😂😂😂
@@danieladams9950 But are they all his own?
Yes they are I have seen the receipt 😂
More like Istanbul.
How about Michael Rodd, stalwart of Tomorrow's World and Screen Test?
Great shout.
Judith Hahn 🙂
I had forgotten about them ,memories eh
I guess you could do a whole episode on the cast of Auf Weidersehn Pet. Favourites of mine from the 80's were Aneka Rice, Miquita Oliver and Todd Carthy. Keep up the good work Stu.
Many thanks.
Oooh Ian McShane....I still would! 😁
Nice one Stu 👍
All these ‘stars’ of the 80’s are all my favourites.
OH MY where have those 40+ years gone?
I started full time employment in 1982.
However some of these stars I would have trouble recognising if you had not shown their now photo and name
They are
Paul Nicholas
Colin Baker
And Stephen Fry is not well and has put so much weight on. Obviously he is in remission for Prostate Cancer
Watching this I cannot believe I watched all these people on Tv and also in films and their stage work
Ian McShane could have had a great career in Football with Man UTD - his father was also a great footballer
❤️❤️❤️❤️🏴🏴🏴🏴🏴🇬🇧🇬🇧🌼🌼👍 👍
Glad to see that most of them are still with us! My favourites are Dame Joan Collins, just for being Joan Collins, Stephanie Cole for Diana, and Jasper Carrott for the famous line about East Midlands airport at Coventry: "The only airport with a cattle grid in the runway!"
EXCELLENT !! FROM, U.K. (2024).
Many thanks!
Well presented
Thank you.
You did two of the three best Doctors, but missed Mr Spoons himself, Sylvester McCoy. 😢 Poor Sylv.
Unlike the 70's one of these, I know every actor. This is basically my childhood and early teens. Peter Davison is my top, being as he's my Doctor, with Colin Baker just behind him (most people don't know this, but Colin is a KC (formally QC), he's incredibly intelligent). The reason he wasn't in more episodes of Doctor Who is because he was unceremoniously dropped from the show in a horrible way. He was so upset he refused to do the regeneration scene which ended up being Sylv in a wig and that technicolour dreamcoat!
FYI Anita Dobson is shaping up to be a major character in the upcoming series of Doctor Who with Ncuti Gatwa. At the end of the Christmas special she looks straight to camera and says, "What's the matter, never seen a TARDIS before?" How the hell does she know what a TARDIS is?! She's going to be important, so keep an eye on her!
Otherwise it's pretty much impossible to choose favourites as they're all so amazing!
David Jason best actor ever😂❤❤❤❤
Favourites: Peter Davison as Siegfried in All creatures, and then as Doctor Who; Stephen Frye, for EVERYTHING he's been in but especially for "Wilde"; Hugh Laurie, for his collaboration with Stephen and for HOUSE! What a LIST of famous folk.
Absolutely fabulous even though i didn't watch are both two good actresses
Julie Walter’s looks good.
Rowan Atkinson as Blackadder, I enjoyed....but Mr Bean makes my flesh creep! 🤢🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧
I always liked jimmy nail, but as spender and I think that was more about the car, than actually jimmy nail himself.
Unbeatable british comedy ! Love joy rocked .
I love Paul Nicholas! He also starred as "Gem Gemini" in the 70s movie "The World is Full of Married Men" (based on a book by Jackie Collins). Sadly, the movie isn't available on YT, but the theme song is - sung by Bonnie Tyler !! 💕🕺
I'll check that song out! Thanks.
Thank you for these most interesting and informative videos. However, sorry to complain but the blurring on the zooming in is very hard on the eyes. Cheers
Duly noted, I'll see what I can do. Glad you enjoy the videos. Many thanks!
For some reason, after watching that episode of The Big Bang Theory, where the guys are amused by the name of a deceased scientist 'Roger Abbot' as soundling like Roger Rabbit, when I saw Sue Pollard's name pop up here, all I could think of was 'Super Lard.'
Well, if we live long enough, we all age, some better than others it is true. I think Michael Aspel and Stephanie Beacham both look great, as a matter of fact. The most important thing is that all the people featured are still with us and most of them are still working, thank goodness. In an age of reality TV and endless talking heads on rolling news, my goodness do we need some genuine talent.
My favorites from this list are Stephanie Cole in “Waiting for God” and Dawn French in “The Vicar of Dibley”. I also enjoyed David Jason in “Open All Hours” and Stephen Frye and Hugh Laurie in “Jeeves and Wooster”.
Some great favourites there!
I thought Russ Abbott was currently playing in goal for Celtic
I thought they look alike, too.
You're saying Noel Edmonds last TV hit was Deal or no deal, are you forgetting one of the greatest gameshows, Cheap Cheap Cheap ?
Do you remember the lovely Bella Emburg, who was in Russ Abbot’s shows? She was an absolute gem. I think she used to be Blunder Woman, didn’t she? or have I got it wrong? I miss these people.
She was indeed. A wonderful performer.
Julies a doll now 🌹
Ian McShane is still a good looking bloke.
A lot of talent featured here, not least Stephen Fry and Hugh Laurie who possibly never equalled their roles in Jeeves and Wooster where they brought PG Wodehouse's characters to life.
When I was a postie in rural Devon I delivered to Noel Edmonds home near Okehampton, then after their separation his wife's place near Chagford.
As a kid I loved Noel Edmonds but the reality I got to know changed my view of him forever.
Paul Nicolas my Mum used to love watching 'Just Good Friends'. However he was in a charming musical film called Alice' which also starred 'Jack Wild'.
Tracey Ullman is just fantastic. Tracey starred in an episode of 'Tales of the Unexpected' and again really popular at the time 'Girls on Top' alongside Dawn French, Jennifer Saunders and Ruby Wax'.
I always watched 'Give us a Clue' which used to have 'Lionel Blair' on all the time also .
'David Jason' well he is just loved and cherished by everybody.
Peter Davidson did a brilliant job, stepping into the shoes of the former Doctor Who star. I loved him in 'All Creatures Great and Small'. I also really enjoyed 'At Home with the Braithwaite's' starring Amanda Redmond.
Ade Edmondson and The Comedy Strip, brought lots of laughs and entertainment to us over the years. 'Happy Families' was a must watch.
Auf Wiedersehen Pet was fantastic. A family watch.
Golden Days
Golden days indeed.
As ever, a thoroughly enjoyable bit of nostalgia. Thanks Stu.
I always remember Michael Aspel in the largely forgotten Ask Aspel en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ask_Aspel
Thanks Mark!
Loved that
Very impressed by Connie booth and felicity kendal. Still both very attractive women. Michael Crawford is doing very well top. A fascinating page of info
Many thanks
Glad you enjoyed it.Thanks!
Didn’t Noel Edmond’s disappear to New Zealand because he said he could talk to animals and did interviews saying this????
I miss these people on telly, it's all rubbish now nothing for us old ones to watch, it's all murders now, my mom watches reruns of heartbeat because she can't find anything on telly, God help us, we are all frightened to go out the house nowadays
I can't stand Lenny henry
He,s about as funny as toothache👍
@@ianmurphy1391 Agreed, hypocrite of the highest order too.
The list of actors are great but as far as police shows John nettles will always be my favourite D C I Barnaby 👍⭐
We watched Stephen Fry as a solicitor in the series Kingdom, he was very good in that too.
I love Russ Abbott
I like Noel edumunds he believes in the universe x
Excellent and entertaining. Must admit seeing some of the ‘comedy’ stars I realised how I found a few unfunny. Never actively watched a Russ Abbott show as never found him funny and the same with Lenny Henry. And never got in to Only Fools and Horses.
Glad you enjoyed the video. Many thanks.
❤❤❤❤❤
I loved the show Lovejoy.
some of my family live in midsummer, im scared to visit due to their high death count
thanks. wondered what happened to Noel Edmonds after Michael Lush's death.
Wow Stephanie Beacham hasn’t aged well! Can’t work out if it’s bad cosmetic surgery or just the sands of time!….
In fact at first I thought it was Caitlin Jenner!…..
@@terrybarton8388 It's the straight collarbone and big shoulders! Just sayin.....
2024....all still.looking good 👍❤️🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧
