We are watching 'Man About the House' these evenings and still loving it. Richard O'Sullivan has always been a favourite of mine, such a natural actor and handsome to boot! I never knew he was in Cleopatra though!! What a surprise!
I met him today in Brinsworth House, the actors/artists retirement home, whilst visiting a friend. He was slightly frail but very charming and appreciative of being recognised. This is a fine tribute to him and of his talent. Thank you for uploading.
It’s lovely to know. Please know he was loved all over the world. I hailed from Barbados and adored him as Dick Turpin. Such a girlhood crush☺️. A charmer I am sure . Wishing him the best ..and you as well.🙏
I grew up watching Richard, and I’ve enjoyed everything I’ve seen him in. He’s certainly not underrated by the people who’ve enjoyed his work. Thank you Richard. I will always have happy memories of you and your work ❤️
Man about the house , Robins Nest , me and my girl , I grew up watching …and carry on teacher , father dear father and the dr series …loved Richard a great actor xx
Despite my being a cynical, hard-hearted, cantankerous bugger in my middle-age, this had me all teared up by the end. Used to love watching this fella as a kid. Good to know he's still with us.
RUclips is the closest thing to a time machine in my opinion! This just came to me very randomly on my recommendation. After watching this clip i realised life really does pass bye so so quickly, I remember watching Dick turpin and robins nest as a ten year old, Those familiar faces that we remember on our tv so well in our childhood are still around, and to see them now is to take us for a split second that time we cherished as a child! What a wonderful and amazing life Richard o Sullivan had!
Absolutely love him. In Australia however we never got to the later programs or the move. It seems Australia is very tight when it comes to money and they show the same programs over and over again. Thank you for showing this on the net.
I still watch you all the time...even Dick Turpin... Richard. Thankyou. You had a great career and inspire me all the time to keep on Acting just starting at 53 again..Male Actor.
This is a wonderful reminder of all my childhood and in to adult life - Richard O'Sullivan was my favourite actor throughout, his versatility was commendable. What a career and what actors he played alongside - giants of the big screen at that and was equal to them. Thank you Mark for this! Surely Richard deserves a MBE or OBE for services to film and TV ! Can we start a campaign to get his career fully recognised - Unless he already has been awarded one which I can't see!
Definitely! This fantastic actor deserves more recognition as his whole life..literally his whole life has been entertaining audiences within every acting genre which he excelled in. God Bless him and may the Queen knight him with full honours. 🙏
He had killer good looks, and his comedy timing was amazing. A consumate actor. We all grow older, and it's always sad. I hope he is in good health and doing well.
@@BillyBones4365 He's very much alive! He has lived in Brinsworth House, a retirement home for entertainers in Twickenham,[3] since suffering a stroke in 2003.
I knew he was in a home...i myself had a full life..early retired at 50 with pension buit sem,i pro band..do i remember richard playing piano..but i hasd serious illness 2014..didnt full recover..shouted for help..relapse lasty sept..fed up being blamed for it..via wrong assumtions by strangers niw in assisted living..irs semi care but at 71 forced after relapse to settle..not walking ok..but i really identify with richard.. swo this is new..yes..wonderful life he hasd, well deserved stardom but we habe to realise..i`m glad to be alive and no doubt so is he.. thanks for putting this up..
There's not one film or show with Richard O'Sullivan in it that I don't like - he was/is a class act !. I'd be over the moon (along with the rest of the country !) if it were possible for him to act again !. Failing that, I just want to say a big 'THANK YOU, RICHARD' for everything and I wish you all the very very best !
I'm not quite sure how I ended up watching this as the sun came up here in Cornwall but I'm glad I did. Richards TV shows were a part of my childhood that I remember fondly and this brought back lots of memories of what seemed like a simpler time. Anyway, thank you for making this video and thank you Richard for keeping us entertained all those years.
What Happened To Richard O' Sullivan 1231pm 14.7.22 hmmmmmmmmm...(pensive mode) me and my girl was decidedly dodgy if you had a certain frame of mind but i am pretty dumb and never saw anything overtly dodgy about that sit-com. i did forget he had starred in dick turpin - which isn't too bad. can be seen, on occasion, on itv4 if you care to catch that show. i'm here as thumb nail kept parading on the you tube web site demanding i see what happened to richard o'sullivan. can't say i recall his film with boris karloff - now that's got to be a boon(?) robin's nest was more preferable to view than man about the house, though. richard o'sullivan as a bit of a daddy-o. well i never. now i have seen the film cleopatra and.. well.... shame on me for not realising.
Dear Richard Sullivan. Thank you so much for so many years of great entertainment. Childhood would never have been the same without seeing you in so many great roles! Many many thanks.
I saw a lovely photo on Facebook recently of Richard with Mike Yarwood who lives in the same retirement home. Both legends of TV entertainment for so manmy years.
Nice Video and didn't realsie he had done so much as a child actor. I was lucky enough to play golf and have lunch with him in Tenerife back in the late 80's and remember him as a lovely guy.
What a surprise reminder this morning. A face I recognised, one who of course an actor that appeared everythere in my English Life. Yes he was great and forgotten now in the 21st century. Thanks for elightening a special moment for me too.
Films were very innocent & discreet through that period, that’s what I grew up with & miss today. All the actors were there for their skill not their name.😊
I’m 60, so for me the best memories are, Man about the House, and Robin’s Nest. But now that I’ve seen how much time his career has spanned.. and bearing in mind how hard it is for a lot of child actors to make that transition to a future career.. makes his contribution all the more remarkable, in my opinion. Thanks for posting this vid 👍
Loved man about the house in fact been watching repeats of it recently on tv, knew he had done some films as a child but not as many as it seems, he certainly worked with some big stars, hope he is keeping well.
A lovely tribute to a very talented actor who has had a very distinguished career. I didn’t know that he went out with Sally at one time or that he had a relationship with Tessa. Thank you for uploading this, it brought back many memories and thank you Richard.
Brilliant Actor... all round entertainer and thoroughly loved in Australia.. like so many I grew up watching in the 70s as a kid... RIP Richard never underrated in my book..just a humble man. From Alison in Tasmania Australia 🇦🇺
I remember him mostly from "Man About the House" with Paula Wilcox and Sally Thomsett, all of whom were brilliant. That show was copied in the USA as "Three's Company", with different actors. It was also very successful. Richard O'Sullivan was a wonderful actor.
Yootha Joyce,Brian Murphy ( both equally hilarious in their own right) alongside Funnyman Richard ,what a hoot? 1 of the highlights of my TV viewing in 70s-80s. Comedy; just ain't what it used t be. *Thanks f the memories. Have a drink on me Richard,rest easy an know ur loved.Age may fade but Legends don't. Forever in r hearts.*
G'day. Thanks very much for this. I grew up here in Australia watching Richard and enjoying his various roles and Robin's Nest definitely had a part in me becoming a qualified chef, believe it or not. I did enjoy this. Thanks!
One of my favourite actors growing up in the 70s. And it seems I wasn't alone ! He always came across as completely natural and had great comic timing. Many thanks for posting !
A legend & as you state an under-rated actor, so natural. I'm a big fan, loved Man About the House, Robins Nest and Dick Turpin. I even have his cookbook which is fab. Thanks for the upload.
Richard O'Sullivan was and is a warm, funny and important part of the tapestry of my life. Thank you for posting this wonderful thoughtful and informative video telling the story of this talented man.
After serious illness, asfter an agem you`ve no choice but to accept being grounded..sas long as life was good up to then..yes, personal experience..now of care homes too...staff get used to talking to dementia patients.. but even THEY get annoyed..they arent children.. could say. peace and love///ala ringo starr..its good luck all round..
Thank you for reminding me of much better times in England, I’ve always loved Richards work over the years and my favourites were Man about the House and Robins Nest….I miss those times very much…
You are an excellent presenter and narrator! Very interesting... my first memories in life were like these, watching TV early evenings in the late 70's!
The Dick Turpin tv series was - to those of us of a certain age - quite deep in terms of character building, I was 10 in 1980, as impetuous as Swiftnick and hadn't a father around so Richard was a genuine role model, if you're reading this Richard please be aware of your contribution, you helped a lot of us through some dark times, your own character shone through the fiction which is why your performance hit home so hard, thankyou sir
yes i also watched a bit of Dick Turpin but i thought it was boring. I manly know him in comedy robin nest in the 70's and man about the house also the cliff Richards films summer holidays and a few other comedy's. Most of these actor's i know back in the days are no longer with us and just seeing them todays brings back a lot of memories for me back when i was a kid in the 70's growing up
I loved the Dick Turpin series. I also vaguely remember another series as well. I think it was called The Big Apple with Tim Brook Taylor and Samantha Bond/Womack.
@@sparkstron73 the one armed Irish guy was so good, his comedy timing was impeccable, as most good comedians were back then, and Dick Turpin was great too, I used to always get home in time to watch it, no matter what I was up to in the street.

Thank you very much.
I hope Richard reads these comments and knows how much he is still admired and remembered for his acting skills, and wonderful personality.

This man was a massive part of my childhood, a true legend.
Yeah he was one of those faces that seemed to crop up regularly in the 70s
💕
I have the same sentiments. He's a significant part of the fabric of our television experience as children.
Always a good watch when he was on the telly. Thanks Richard 😁
He was always on the TV when I was a kid, great actor.
Thank you ❤
I grew up watching Richard, and I’ve enjoyed everything I’ve seen him in. He’s certainly not underrated by the people who’ve enjoyed his work. Thank you Richard. I will always have happy memories of you and your work ❤️
Amazing grew up watching him as well such a talent he had
Loved Robin's Nest.

Well said, Dennis. Me too.
Hear, hear
I'd sign up to that. Get it started!
Definitely!
This fantastic actor deserves more recognition as his whole life..literally his whole life has been entertaining audiences within every acting genre which he excelled in.
God Bless him and may the Queen knight him with full honours. 🙏
A suitable honour is well overdue. Take note King Charles.
Thankyou so much.
Warms my heart, and a tear to the eye, big part of my childhood, big love to this brilliant actor and man, thank you❤
Welcome:)
Watch man about the house over and over again, love it.👍👍👍
He had killer good looks, and his comedy timing was amazing. A consumate actor. We all grow older, and it's always sad. I hope he is in good health and doing well.
