I loved the guy and have only just found out he lived very close to me if i had known where he lived i would have gone to visit and maybe got his autograph I lived in Rugby and I worked for the AA and RAC and Long Buckby was i my patch
I was once in Long Buckby and couldn't find where I was looking for. I saw a chap walking down the road and stopped and asked him for directions. He gave me directions to exactly where I wanted. It was as I drove off that I realised I had spoken to the Prof. A very nice gentleman.
What a unique talent Stanley was. He is one of my all time favourite people. I listen to him often and he always makes me happy. He really was a one off, I mean it's just wonderful listening to him ramble on, so funny lol. Mind you he still makes more sense than this crazy world we live in now. R.I.P. Mr Unwin.
Stanley was my neighbour in Long Buckby (Lovely Village) across the road from me. We use to see him in the garden and I'd call out to my second wife "the film star's in the garden" ! I never knew until today, he'd ever been in a film. Today I decided to start a Facebook page (is that what it's called?) about my nearly 70 year's on planet Earth. Starting by mentioning about 40 year's ago when I popped over to ask him to sign his recently released book I'd bought for my father. He then proceeded to suggested / tried to get me to write one about my life! I'd never really spoken to him or his wonderful wife but rumour's and story's abounded in the village about me. {I wasn't a local}. Stanley lived in a reasonable sized, very modest Bungalow that was hardly the home of the famous. A Charming man and his wife was, believe it or not, even more charming.If you've red this far, I may as well tell you one more small story.... After the break-up of my second marriage, which I took very hard, I bumped into his wife a few day's after a young lady had stayed the night ! and she said to me "How glad Stan & her were to see I had met someone". (something like that, anyway). That was the way they were in the village. Unobtrusive, kind and thoughtful. RIP Stanley.
it's amazing to think that without that person at the bbc approaching him, this gift to the world would never have gone beyond his family. what a special man he was.
I adored Stanley and as a child I studied his 'Unwinese' to the amusement of school friends and relatives! I could speak it 'MOST GOODLY' sadly as I grew older I lost this ability and now when I attempt it - it sounds awful. RIP to a great man👏👏👏👏👍
l had a telephone call from Stanley re a show l asked him to appear in at the Colston Hall in Bristol - although unwell he made me laugh so much - a delight - deep joy - thank you for posting this ..happy memories
RIP, Professor Stanley Unwin, if only he were still around to explain the workings of Brexit to me, doubtless the only man qualified to do so! 😂 I spent 15 years parking outside his Long Buckby house to run over the road to buy Fish & Chips. I only discovered this one year after he had sadly died... If only I had known, I would have loved to have shared an evening of Fish & Chips with a side of Gobbledegook. A true pioneer.. one of Englands' originals. 🏆
@S Hol Sid James was also born in South Africa but nowhere near as talented as Professor Stanley Unwin. Never understood the appeal of Sid James. Stanley Unwin was so talented that Gerry Anderson created the Secret Service, even if it only lasted 1 series back in 1969
Not difficold. Theresa Maypole,Jean-Claud Junkyard made deep folly and causeymost nonseps. Nigel Forage try and help,but Borry Johnsol kicky-ho the Eurold uni a bit of sense. Today we have the probly of the Rush,Vladimir Putout,which causes fuel pripes to skyrocky. Terribold worry.
@@digitalsoldier3894 Just seen your comment. Secret Service is my not guilty about it at all guilty pleasure! It’s blend of miniatures and live action with the special suitcase is so absurd yet so British! A real slice of madness.🤙🏻🇬🇧
Pure genius, pure gold, Stanley unwind should be better remembered, he was a national treasure that never got polished properly, he always made me chuckle with laughter growing up.His family should deff make that dictionary it would sell well and they could make some good money. RIP STANLEY sadly missed but never forgotten. Lovely man. Unwineeze rules as worlds funnyiest language :-) and the world needs a new STANLEY UNWIN. your welcome.
a great character from my childhood.......always looked forward to hear him.......the internet makes it so easy but as a child it was a real treat to see him.......i actually work with a stanley unwin.....no relation.... i am sure as an aircraft engineer that when i communicate to the pilots i meet at 3 o'clock in the morning that i must sound like i am talking unwinese......
mikee758 Here’s a little something I’ve rustled up in lockdown: lnkd.in/gzVZnc2 ...is a RUclips link to my Coronavirus skit. It’s in spoonerisms so it’s called Sporonavirus. Not quite Unwinese but I’ve done a few of them over the years, Mikee. #youtube #youtubechannel #videos #coronavirus #covid19 #spoonerisms #datrickpuncan #UKhumour #newvideo #Sporonavirus #NHS
I first heard this wonderful man courtesy of The Small Faces and their superb album OGDEN'S NUT GONE FLAKE... When he starts telling the story of Happiness Stan with the line " ARE YOU ALL SITTING COMTIBOLD TWO SQUARE ON YOUR BOTTY" , I was totally hooked and laughing like a drain... Brilliant guy and a talent that will never be repeated.
Yes I have taht album but it was the Secret Servive TV Programme me that really won me over. The Complete series is on DVD somewhere and I'm sure it will be on youtube somewhere. It features Stanley in both person and puppet using his talk to confuse the enemies in Espionage land. Well worth looking up for Stanley fans.
love this, thanks for posting..man was brilliant..i still today because of this genius. they definitely need to create the dictionary..it would be a good seller
He was just so bloody good at it even his facial expressions were fantastic enjoyed every minute. . Freddy star did a good impression but there was only one Stanley unwind
bless ol' Stanley - one of those characters i remember well from my childhood - sweet man - and i just recently found he did the Silvia Anderson series i never saw 'the secret service' here on RUclips, amusing!
I knew Long Buckby would be famous for something ! Such a lovely characterful chap - where are these original great British eccentrics today - He, Percy Edwards, etc
@@Cody-zd2ye yes he was a vicar working for a top secret branch of the Intelligence services. He had a shrinking gun and drove a very old early 20th century car called Gabriel. And notably it was a mix of Gerry Anderson puppetry and live action. Never seen anything else like it.
Thank you, thank you, thank you. Absolutely recognised this voice the second l heard it but had no idea why. I, of course, had a copy of this. Haven't thought about the album for decades. Although every time l see a partial moon l have a desperate desire to head off and hunt for the missing half of the mooneymost.
David Whiteley, nice bloke - once sat on a Norwich/Manchester flight with him. He's good at his job - Inside Out is a solid regional magazine on BBC East
Regarding Unwinspeaking corpus, Two seminal works: "Rotatey diskers with Unwin" (LP), and "House and Garbage", which latter featured, if I remember rightwisely, a colourful "chamfered whifflegratey with Chaldelion inset". Had me losey balancers and follolopy aboutmost with unfettered mirth. Hope it helpmeets for Unwin erudition researchers.
I remember one line he spoke, it must have been an advert for beer I think. It was some thing like "the best bitter in a brewflade". A delightful man who made us laugh with good, clean fun.
When he was doing The Secret Service and he was called upon to speak that language, whoever wrote the script wrote it in English to give him a rough idea of what he had to say, then told him to say the lines in his language, so I read!
I remember the first time I saw Stanley in carry on regardless. What an amazing talent. May he be confusing the angel and give them many belly laughs Rip Stanley 🙏
Stanley was in Gerry Anderson's "Secret Service" and provided the voice of the puppet Father Unwin. The series (which was not a success), mixed live action and puppet. Stanley was seen in long shots and appeared as himself in the opening credits. A very talented actor.

I'm so proud he was my uncle such a dear and lovely man God bless uncle Stan
What a wonderful man. X
one of my favourites,,just watching him and the reactions from others always cracks me up
He was such a great and funny man.
your Dear uncle Stanley made me laugh so much as a kid. pure genius. Brin from Ireland.
I loved the guy and have only just found out he lived very close to me if i had known where he lived i would have gone to visit and maybe got his autograph I lived in Rugby and I worked for the AA and RAC and Long Buckby was i my patch
I was once in Long Buckby and couldn't find where I was looking for. I saw a chap walking down the road and stopped and asked him for directions. He gave me directions to exactly where I wanted. It was as I drove off that I realised I had spoken to the Prof. A very nice gentleman.
It would have been brilliant if he'd have given you directions in unwinese..! You'd still be lost now!!
This could only happen in England. Much missed.. i was a little too young to fully appreciate it, but I know that he is a giant of British comedy.
Not entirely true. Cantinflas of Mexico did the same thing only in Spanish. He too was much loved and Mexico went very quiet the day he died.
Brilliant. Always used to get me laughing as a child, still does at 66 :)

Lovely interview. A delight to actually here Stanley speaking 'properly' 😉
His son sounds and looks just like his Dad.

How incredible to be able to think on his feet all the time and ramble like this, the thing that always struck me about him was that he was charming.

He was in several films. Chitty Chitty Bang Bang and Carry on Regardless for starters.
There is so much more to your story - write the book!
Maybe.... 50 Shade's of Dark. LOL
Beautiful, unique, precious story.

He was brilliant. Cracks me up everytime he goes on talking utter gibberish but to keep it going as long as he does is utter genius. Sadly missed.
I always remember when Stanley made a commercial for tyres, and he said something like they were "No slip slidio in the wetty gripper!"
Superb. And something like "More maximost mileodes" Stanley was brilliant.
these people are missed. Deep joy
I loved watching Stanley. Much missed.
A dictionary of his phraseology, is an absolute MUST! Simply wonderful & joyous to the 👂👂
Try to find a copy of his book, The Miscillian Chronicles. It's hilarious.

Fantastic video.

Thanks for sharing !!
Love stanley a truely one off wont be another like him ever 💯💯💯💯

A genius lost! May the gods keep you safe Stanley!
Aha! Finally the name to that marvelous voice on The Small Faces "Ogden's Nut Gone Flake" LP that I've loved for all these years! Thanks for posting!
Ha ha ha What a dear man! I loved him! He was one of the dearest!
Thanks for brilliant.
fantastic man I saw him in a Norman Wisdom movie incredible two Genius men
love this, thanks for posting..man was brilliant..i still today because of this genius. they definitely need to create the dictionary..it would be a good seller
Ah! What memories. I loved listening to him, or tried to whilst laughing so much.
Whenever I hear his wonderful warm and comforting tone and upside down dialect everything seems right in the world. Much needed today.
watching this is 2024 reminiscing about my childhood I realise that todays kids would never get this.
Great man
I met him as a boy in Newport Pagnall. My dad knew him as a Radio operator they had a lot in common. We had his LPs. Very funny man. RIP Stan.
Such fond memories of an Englishman in an English period in England. -A classic example of the beautiful British eccentric and long may they live.
Gorgeous, what an incredible man, timeless, priceless; fantastiglorymost :-)
Bless him. I watched him as a youngster and my own dad used to impersonate him. Good clean fun from a fine old gentleman.
delightful silliness :-)
He was just so bloody good at it even his facial expressions were fantastic enjoyed every minute. . Freddy star did a good impression but there was only one Stanley unwind
Wonderful see and hear him again. He was a genius. Deep joy!
The creative use this man gives to the English language is superb.
Listen to his conversation with the voice of Bill and Ben. Priceless.
bless ol' Stanley - one of those characters i remember well from my childhood - sweet man - and i just recently found he did the Silvia Anderson series i never saw 'the secret service' here on RUclips, amusing!
He was my uncle
I always loved Stanley's nonsense-speak but a little surprised that there wasn't a nod to the wonderful Ogdens Nut Gone Flake.
yer nice one, stevie marriott. new book about him, all or nothing, steve marriott, author simon spence
I knew Long Buckby would be famous for something !
Such a lovely characterful chap - where are these original great British eccentrics today - He, Percy Edwards, etc
Long Bucky is lovely, like Stanley.
Wonderful guy! He would have made a fortune doing party political broadcast for the governeekies come the electymode next May!!
Peter Hack I think he'd do a better job than Mrs May.
Oh yes, indeedlypole.
GENIUS
He was "the Chancellor", in Chitty chitty bang bang, alongside Gert Frobe
Pity there was no mention of the secret service, that hidden Gerry Anderson gem!
Yes I do vaguely remember he had a model t Ford was he a vicar

Stanley was brilliant and utterly unique. I cannot imagine any other nation than ours understanding this humour
Lovely!
My dad a tape of him playing in his car years ago...only found out who was last night. I like this dude :).
Deep inside a rainbow lived happiness Stan, in a small victoriana charabanc.
