Can I just say how amazing it is that you not only take us all to the locations of these wonderful people who have went on, but you also give us photos, footage, and snippets of their music---
It's so respectful and helps us remember them and their contributions to the world. ❤
Perfectly written and narrated, I could listen to Arthur Dark all day.
I agree 100% #yank
I have benge watched him all today. He reminds me of my youngest son. But, I absolutely love his show. I totally agree!
I pretty much do lol I love listening to these videos. I wish he'd narrate an audio book
Yeah I could listen to him all day
I played drums for 10 years John Bonham was my mentor , the style he had with the high hat ,snare and kick with the large base drum was natural to me ( the fool in the rain ) masterpiece !! Rest in peace Mr Bonham my brother from another mother .
Hard to believe this month marks the 40th anniversary of Bonham’s death....he is still dearly missed.
Unforgettable Bonzo...
I remember it well. Such a huge loss
I remember that day well. I was lucky enough to see Led Zeppelin in 1977. His legendary drumming is carrying on by his son.
🥁
Like Hendrix, dead longer than alive.
Saw them both.
Glad I did
Thank you Arthur!
2:41 Yes, a Mrs. Slocombe sighting! I adore "Are you Being Served?" with all my being! :)
Arthur Dark is a genius and this should be a syndicated show on Discovery channel
Nooo he will lose his freedom! Play stay here, Mr. Dark
Good point.
Yes he is and yes it should be on Discovery
Noooo... Discovery will wreck Hollywood Graveyard.
Totally agree!
Thank you for showing the grave of one of the best drummers, John Bonham.
The best
I can't believe the state of Tony Hart's stone. He inspired my artistic side as a child. One of my heroes.
"....and now it's time for your work; It's time for the gallery."
I STILL think it would've been so cool to have had Boris Karloff as that one uncle who'd have really livened up a family reunion!!!
Maybe, but did you ever see "Gods and Monsters," a fictionalized story of the last days of James Whale, who directed Karloff in "Frankenstein" and other movies? In it Whale tries to avoid Karloff at a party, because he considers him so unbearably boring! Still, it's fiction.
@@jamesclendon4811, in his final days, Karloff was approached by Fellini to appear in a film of his. "it really set me up!" he told his agent.
Alas, the world was to be deprived of such a unique bit of casting.....
I have read many accounts and have heard tales that Mr. Karloff was wonderful to work with and gracious and kind to everyone. He suffered through that Frankenstein and monster makeup, with no complaints. In his last appearance when he was gravely ill, he pushed through and finished asking for no special treatment. He was a talent and a gentleman. I cannot imagine the Grinch without him.RIP without your talents the Universal Monsters would not be.
James Clendon I read countless accounts of Mr Karloff being interesting, kind, caring & an interesting man! Everyone loved him & he had such interesting stories to tell! I am sure people have their own “spin on every event”( in order to sell books & make their own book “less boring!”🤣Ha!) but by all accounts Mr. Karloff was quite an interesting, well rounded man( never complained about hrs silent in wardrobe either both putting in that makeup & taking it off for the movie( quite the ordeal I read!) ! Take Care!❤️
A Mrs Slocumbe reference?
I approve!
And I am unanimous in this!
That was hysterical and most appropriate.
Loved her!!
Would love to see an Are You Being Served episode. Arthur English was good but John Inman is FREE!!!
jokelanddotcom She was just the best and I totally agree with you!
I know! That was hilarious!!
I'd love to know if Arthur Dark has ever been approached about having a tv show. I❤these videos.
He doesn’t need his own Tv Show he has us, if he had tv show then He won’t have any control of it and they will just take it away from him.
@@ernestoorozco-jimenez4966 possibly.
Plus extremely handsome
A tv show would be awesome though
This would be a awesome tv show.
I definitely teared up when he mentioned Alan Rickman and Richard Griffiths.
Christmas doesn't start until Hans Gruber falls from Nakatomi tower
The legend who will be our angel
Alan Rickman...😢An extraordinary actor & man! He was amazing & loved all the movies he was in! He died much to early & so very young ! I tested up as well when he mentioned their names! May they both Rest In Peace!❤️
Finally a nod to my man Freddie Mercury
I love Freddie Mercury 💚
Such a sad way to leave this Earth for such an iconic legend who's talent was un foretold. It was Bohemian Rhapsody that introduced me to Queen and remains a personal favorite of mine. Freddie Mercury like Elvis Presley will never be replaced,
Finally...? They made a movie about him, you know.
Cremated
Should have a statue like the one in Switzerland on the cover of their final album Made in Heaven for fans to visit
This is amazing!
Harry H Corbett, June Whitfield, Lynda Bellingham and Pete Burns were legends!
Boris Karloff was a true horror legend!
Oh thank you so much for the tribute to Gustav Holst! And you played snippets of all the planets! It my favorite orchestral piece! Awesome!!!
Great how you played a clip of every one of Holst' Planets pieces! Nice filming by Richard Brown too! Tony Hart! I grew up with him when i lived in England ! Saeed Jaffrey too! John Henry Bonham! Boris Karloff! So many great graves! Nicely done video!
A shout out to “Are You Being Served?” and Mollie Sugden as Mrs. Slocombe. Great Show! Thanks for another great video. If you get a chance look up a very funny story about Christopher Hewett while playing Mr. Belvedere. It’s a doozy!
Her co-star Arthur English was featured in this episode. I was hoping Mollie Sugden and Wendy Richard would've been featured as well.
Are You Being Served was my favorite comedy!
Are you referring to him sitting on his balls?
Mike Minnick yes, but to hear Bob Uker tell the story. It was pretty funny and probably most embarrassing for Mr. Hewett.
Kelly Pogue I’m glad he pointed out Mr. English, otherwise I wouldn’t have recognized him.🙃
There's a part of me that still refuses to believe Alan Rickman is dead.
I texted my youngest daughter (who's ow 30) about Alan's death, 'cause I didn't want her to hear it from strangers on TV or the radio first. I texted her when we lost Bowie as well. When Alan went, she texted back to me, "Bowie hurt, but this one (Alan) stings". Such talented men, those two.
@@deannadrake2040 January 2016 sucked, didn't it? First we lost Bowie, then Alan Rickman, and then Glenn Frey. Jan. '16 was nearly the end of me.
😢
Me too 😢
I’ve had the biggest crush on Alan Rickman for MANY years...broke my heart when he passed💔💔
Thank you for including Jack Wild in part 2. For so many of us late Boomers, he was our first crush and has a unique place in our hearts. I encourage anyone who loved him to read his posthumously published autobiography “It’s a Dodgers Life.” It’s written in his distinctive voice and is a wonderful read. Many talk of his alcoholism, but he was sober at the end, bravely battling mouth cancer. Even when he lost his voice to the cancer, he acted on stage in pantomime.
Richard Brown is doing a great job miming your style. His work (and his extensive travelling) are appreciated!
Yes I do appreciate Richard’s work with Arthur. Brilliant videos
I love "Are you being served"
I'm free!
...it will ride up with wear!
To me, cemeteries are history. They teach us so much. I’m glad this series inspired me to make my own arrangements rather than ‘putting it off’!
I LOVED HR Puffenstuff! I had a crush on Jimmy and Flute. My mother lived Witchie Poo. Ahhh...gone are the years of wholesome children's programming; those years of innocence.
I thought it was silly when I was a young boy,but still cool to watch
So many of my beloved stars are gone. Some I did not know was British. My favorite was Boris Karloff.
As a former tour guide at Kensal Green Cemetery it’s been lovely to see it on my favourite RUclips channel 😍 There’s no cemetery like it!
I love the British version. Think about a lot of the people that died that I recall from my youth. Excellent stuff.
I'm glad you mentioned Chichester Cathedral it's very close to my hometown I used to just go light a candle and just sit there. A really beautiful building.
Made me realize I'd forgotten so many people. Made me want to check out some old films and TV shows
Beautiful English churches. Amazing graves, so gothic and inspiring. Adore Margaret Rutherford, the best Miss Marple and June Whitfield forever funny! Great episode!!! Love Sharon in England 🏴 xxxxx 💖
Thank you for another wonderful episode . So many childhood memories of these fantastic actors and actresses. Alan Rickman is still sorely missed . Thanks again .
Led Zeppelin helped me in so many ways, my friend 'the boy next door' introduced me to Led Zeppelin a gift he gave me, he passed away last October, I was having a hard time listening to the music that brought me so much healing, it was sounding different was it because it was my connection to him, what he gave me, the gift of losing myself into the music, to escape from hell, to give me the gift of drawing what I see and feel....the gift of Tolkien, mighty arms of Atlas. winds of Thor, the darkest depths of Mordor.......the boy next door
finally I the music was reaching to me again......thanks to the boy next door
Should I fall out of love, my fire in the light
To chase a feather in the wind
Within the glow that weaves a cloak of delight
There moves a thread that has no end
For many hours and days that pass ever soon
The tides have caused the flame to dim
At last the arm is straight, the hand to the loom
Is this to end or just begin?
The cup is raised, the toast is made yet again
One voice is clear above the din
Proud Arianne one word, my will to sustain
For me, the cloth once more to spin
Yours is the cloth, mine is the hand that sews time
His is the force that lies within
Ours is the fire, all the warmth we can find
He is a feather in the wind
All of my love to you now....
Sometimes.......Sometimes
I get a little bit lonely......Just a little
boring.
I too have a boy next door who introduced me to Zeppelin. We will never see such wonderful raw talent again.
"Sir cumference". lol That's brilliant.
Reminds me of Sir Iosis of Liver. :)
Another home run for Arthur Dark and Richard Brown! I can't wait to see installment number 3. I have really enjoyed this series from California, the U.S., and all over the world.
He does such an incredible job with this series & I too, love & look so forward to them,too!❤️
Richard Brown did a fine job filming this episode. Thanks.
The more I've seen of Boris Karloff's film, tv and radio work, the more I've realized what an enormous range the fellow had as an actor, i.e., horror, comedy and drama. He was instrumental in helping to unionize Hollywood actors in the SAG starting in 1933. By all accounts, he was also a very decent human being in his personal life and did a lot of charitable work. I am delighted to see he still has fans.
I'm definitely learning some new names and people in this one. So many of them I do not know. Tony Hart was the surprising one. The cemetery looked like it could use a little more care. His marker looked like it was placed there 100 years ago but he died just 11 years ago. Loved seeing Bonham and all the drumsticks! And of course I'm a huge fan of Boris Karloff! Thank you for taking us on another tour!
@TheRenaissanceman65 I'm having trouble understanding the wear on the marker though. Why does it look so old? 2009 but it looks like its from the early 1900's.
Never clicked on a video, so fast in my life!!😁 Hi Arthur!!
I've said this before but man you are one of the very few people on here that make content so good that a 40 minute video isn't a slog to get through but a joy.
Watching this on the day that Diana Rigg died.... and seeing the movie poster for ‘Theatre of Blood’ come up just seems very moving.
She was a marvellous actor..
i didn't know diana rigg died. she will be avenged.
Thank you for warning me that I'm going to cry watching this
This is truly excellent! Well done to all involved. I've been eagerly awaiting Part 2 of the England tour. Being a Brit we really appreciate your hard work.
It's nice to see many of the grounds are still maintained.
The local councils have cut back so much. Which is a shame.
Few realize how closely the music of Star Wars (Williams) follows Holst. Even in just the short clips of Mars and Neptune, it is obvious there's a connection. "Influence" was a delicate and polite way for Arthur to phrase it. Some have been more direct and claimed that John Williams all but erased Holst's name off the top of the sheet music and put his own. I personally recognize the genius of Williams, and admire him for not only his brilliance as a composer, but also to realize the brilliance of Holst. Like they say, imitation is the sincerest form of flattery.
Arthur you deserve way more subscribers than you have! Your videos are nothing short of amazing! Plus I love that you don't just focus on actors and singers who are well known but you're also sure to shed a spotlight on all the aspects of filmmaking and music. Plus many historical figures, authors, and playwrights.
Holst’s “Jupiter” has a hymn called “I vow to thee my country” set to it and it was sang at Princess Diana’s funeral as it was her favourite hymn. Sports fans may recognise it as rugby union’s World Cup theme “world in union”.
Tracey Jones It was also played at her wedding.
It is also used as the music for a Catholic hymn, "O, God Beyond All Praising".
@TheRenaissanceman65 I've never been to an Anglican church. Allow me to rephrase my comment: It is also used as the music for a hymn we sing in the Catholic Church, and other churches I'm sure, entitled "O, God Beyond All Praising".
My wife and I had it as one of hymns at our wedding. Personally I think it should be the UL national anthem rather than that dirge we actually use🙄🙄
It was played at The Duke of Edinburgh's funeral as well, before funeral procession to Windsor St George Chapel.
Arthur, you are historian extraordinaire!!
This video like all you do is quality. Thanks so much from Canada 🇨🇦
Boris Karloff real name is William Henry Pratt
Love Hollywood Graves keep up the good work
Great work again on another interesting posting
nice to see where all the stars of tv are resting watching this you can almost feel the happiness and sadness in your video
Way better than anything on TV! Amazing!
Wonderful. I really enjoy these. So many memories. I grew up in the 60s/70s to some of these. I'd forgotten all about Derek Nimmo. I can hear that soft voice of his in my head right now. Tony Hart too. Thank you.
Cant wait too see more video I been checking in everyday looking for new ones
Glad to see you. Long time fan and follower here
Sending much lov man
I “like” these videos before I even watch them. Every time.
Me too!❤️
I’m pleased this included the great Frankie Howerd, one of Britain’s most impersonated comics with a unique performance style. Oo no missus!
Titter ye not
I just love Hollywood graveyard brilliant to watch and learn thank you Arthur.
Strange to know that we all are going the same way, is it not? But at the same time it is wonderful to learn about the histories of all these fantastic people!
How many hours of research etc to make this tour? It must have been hundreds!! Well done!!!!!!!
Love the commentary on Freddie Mercury. Mary, his first girlfriend and the one that left his fortune and home to, has his ashes but has never said where they are. I’m sure someone knows - perhaps even the surviving members of Queen.
Mary has his ashes, and only she knows where they are due to Freddie's wishes, was on a documentary I watched
He is everywhere .
I think I saw a video where Brian May said they didn't know either
A sad fact about Pete burns
He died penniless so boy George paid for his funeral and grave
I didn't know that,well done George 🥰
Oh dear, that fact turned out to be a very sad one and not a fun one at all. We remember him.
Tony Hart was my childhood hero. Much love x
I love each one of these videos! Thanks to Arthur Dark and to all involved in making these.
I remember Tony Hart's program in the 80s called Vision On
The words of the Freddie Mercury's memorial plaque are in French and says :
" To be forever with you, with all my love. M "
Was that his final resting place
Ethan Taube His ex Mary has his ashes.
Mary Austin?
Melody Jones Yes.
Nicolas C Thank you for translating 😊.
Just watched both U.K episodes (i live here)
Absolutely superb Sir !!!
Thank You !
It was great to find out where so many British stars were laid to rest. Thanks Arthur. X
"Are you being served?" Brilliant. The quality of your videos is spectacular.
Great show Arthur, one of your best.
Lovely to see how much knowledge and respect an American has for British culture, thanks.
Arthur should do one on "Hammer Horror". Would be interesting to know where some of the people who worked at Hammer Films are 'sleeping'.
why don't you let Arthur do what he wants?
Christopher Lee Peter cushion
I love the vast range of people you covered here. Especially the nod to the fabulous Margaret Rutherford ☺️
Me too! He does such a comprehensive list of “all people” not just the top echelon of the extremely famous but “all levels of accomplishments!” I so love the job he dies for so many people loved all these different people for so many different reasons! All are accomplished & amazing! He covers them all & I so love that!❤️
Ahoy ! Murder most foul 💀 !
Margaret Rutherford is my fav marple.
Yes mine too. She was the best!!!!
I just watched a biography about her on RUclips. I loved her in the VIP’s.
I prefer Joan Hickson whose portrayal was more in keeping with the novels .....
Thank you for delivering on a platter , education, remembrance and honor to these individuals work that lives on!
Back in the 1970's when I started my career in Radio and later TV, "Little Willy" by The Sweet was one of my favorite records to play going into the top of the hour "Legal ID" and news. Their later later hit "Fox On The Run" was one of my favorite pieces of :"elevator music". Boris Karloff also starred in another of my all-time favorite movies, "Mad Monsters Party", which I highly recommend. Well done, Arthur!
Yes!!! Was thinking of you..... 😜Perfect timing.
I enjoy alot of British comedies. I really enjoyed this video. Thank you.
Thank you for including Bessie Love. One of the greats of early talkie cinema. It is a shame that there is no longer a marker for her final resting place.
Spot on Narrating!!..
Outstanding work & Research. 🦅
Richard Griffiths was a singular actor. All of his roles were unforgetable.
I could listen to u always
Your voice captivated me to stay. Thinking oh Is this going to be morbid and sad ? No it wasn’t what a nice kind way to remember those who are interred in England’s green and pleasant land .
Has to be one of the best channels on U Tube!
How right you are!!!!❤️
Love this episode Arthur! Thanks for doing Freddie Mercury💚
Great video as usual. So Surprising all the people who have past like Jack Wild , that I was not even aware. Also, the grave stones look much older and weathered.
Jack Wild was always larger than life. His gravestone was nice and big. A fitting tribute, right?
There is something special to be said for all thosse church graveyards.
You are so right! There is something special about those amazing church graveyards! Love these video/blogs! He does such a great job on his blogs!❤️
"You like Tomato. I like to-mah-to". American English vs UK English is always good for a laugh.
YES!!

YESSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!! SO looking forward to this ........ keep them coming!!
That was truly magical as always Arthur thank you .
Yesterday I had minor surgery. Today I'm on bedrest and the best kind--watching and listening to Arthur Dark and Hollywood Graveyard!
This series is Outstanding...
Another fabulous video. The photography is superb, showing the beautiful and historic churches at their very best. I hope that viewers in other countries will be encouraged to visit our amazing country. As always, entertaining and very informative. Thoroughly enjoyed it. Thank you, Arthur.
You should have over a million subs! This channel is so underrated.
I agree! Extraordinary series from an extraordinary man!❤️
Thank you Arthur, be safe and as always I wait for the next one.
We need a hollywood graveyard soundtrack. I know that theramin-ish intro by heart. haha
There is an album available for download.
Here you go: ruclips.net/video/7uW7AXArnyY/видео.html
@@JohnJones-qo8lx Thanks Bud!! Appreciate it!
May I present Arthur Dark.....His RUclips light will always burn bright.
It’s still surreal, to see the graves of entertainers who, to mind, feel like were ‘just alive and working the other day! What happened??’
Indeed - it sometimes comes as a shock to remember they have passed away. Alan Rickman and June Whitfield were just here..... :-(
wow, so much greatness in this episode! My beloved Boris Karloff, and Harold Pinter, J. G. Ballard, Richard Griffiths, Edmund Kean, George Martin, John Bonham, Carol Reed, Margaret Rutherford, Richard Attenbourough and even Alice Liddel! It's a resurgence of joy and a deep feeling of gratitude to the writers, actors, musicians we love and miss, every time that Arthur takes us for a walk in their final resting place ♥
daniela catelli I went to the same school as Boris
Such great content. Love seeing the English countryside and seeing some great performers. Love you Arthur Dark. We have a grave in my village dating from 1456
@@MrRobbiek86 wow, great!
Sir Richard was in Brannigan will John Wayne
I’ve had my memory well and truly jogged,with your wonderful guided tours,Arthur.Thankyou.🇬🇧
Can you plz plz plz do a tour including the original cast of "are you being served?"
That would be amazing. My mum, dad and I used to watch Brit comedies. Although my parents eventually divorced I have great memories of watching British comedy with them. They are Jamaicans educated in England
I totally just posted the same thing lol
Heath Moore Same here. 🇺🇸 ❤️
Finally a nod to my man Freddie Mercury
Many have since died who were in Harry Potter. Be cool to see a special on them 💜
Let's hope there's another Harry Potter actor in Episode 3
I want a Harry Potter episode
yea!
Thank you this was so good I remember most of these stars of stage and screen so this was wonderful to see where they are laid to rest
Another wonderful tour! Thank you.
