@@FactsVerseUK when the piglets were born.
Reginald Marsh (Andrew) was not another neighbour but Gerry's boss and Tom's former boss. If your going to give out facts try to be accurate.
Yes. I almost jumped up out of my chair when that was said!! Along with the "tragic deaths" of cast members that were still alive!!!
Correct.
I thought that too he was the BOSS 🚜🚜🚜🚜🚜🚜🚜🔵🔵⚪️⚪️
@@nickmullerITFC78 He was. In one episode(Andrew/sir) tells Jerry and Snetterton, that he is going too retire, so must pick one of them too replace him.
In the 1980s & beyond I recall Felicity Kendall regularly winning “ Rear Of The Year “ - publicised by various tabloid media in England 😃👍
It was a great show.... I loved watching Felicity Kendall in it, cute as a truck load of baby ducks.
My favourite actor is Penelope Keith
I love her characters and her presentation 😊🎉
Classic British style.
The title is misleading, it suggests they are all dead!
I lot of shows on Facts Verse say that.
Loved all of the key 4 characters in this and their other shows.
Blimmey this comedy is definitely in my beloved Top 5 list starring comic royalty,⭐👍✌️ cheers Stephen 🍀🍀✌️👍
2 of the 4 are dead. Richard Briers(Tom Good) and Paul Eddington(Jerry Leadbetter) Felicity Kendal(Barbara Good) and Penelope Keith(Margot Leadbetter )are both still with us.
Quite---the title is misleading, sad though their loss is, their passing wasn't out of the blue, or as a result of a unforeseen accident.
This was clickbait.
Thanks for your information on names real and character names 😊
Felicity Kendall....my first crush, I could have gazed at her all day as a 7yr old, still a cutie ❤
My favourite character was Margot, who represented a bastion of normality in a sea of socialist hysteria.
One of our favorites too, you've got fine taste! What other types of video would you like to see?
What an interesting comment. Margot, to me, represented suburban snobbery, always yearning to be superior. Jerry, all for a quiet life, saw through her, but let her do her thing.
The Goods portray healthy non-conformism, striving to counter the takeover of their world by consumerist excesses.
Most eloquently put my man! Thank goodness for her Noblest Oblige.
A fact you most probably didn't know is that Richard Briers starred in a 60's sitcom called Marriage Lines alongside Prunella Scales. Briers also was the narrator for the 70's animation series Roobarb.
And Custard.
Though it was known as both. I think he only voiced Roobarb too be fair. So you are right.
knew he narrated Roobarb as he had a distinctive voice
Clickbait title. I had the pleasure of working with Paul Eddington on "Forty Years on" at the Queen's theatre in 1984, and with Felicity 2 years earlier at the Strand. Lovely memories, but don't tell me people are dead when they aren't. Im not that old.
Yet.
Penelope Keith is a dame. I think Felicity Kendal should be made one.
I was not finished! As I was saying just last week but it was not available…a classic …
I tried to get this series or at least an episode on utube just last
I don't see why the deaths are labelled "utterly tragic". People die. It's a grim fact of life. They weren't exactly young and neither were their deaths in any way extraordinary.
(An excellent series, btw).
‘Richard Briers….’ showing a picture of Paul Eddington…. Typical American crap
most deaths are tragic because many who die are without the saving work of Jesus Christ in their lives. Those people have contemptuously ignored his words and set Him at nought. More tragical, there are those who believe they have a saving faith in Christ but do not and never have, displayed the fruits of a true saving faith. And even more tragic than everything, there are Churches who direct people not onto the path of righteousness, but onto the road that leads to destruction and eternal ruin. Jesus said to the religious leaders of his day, ' you are of your father the Devil, and the works of your father you will do'
You don't need to be a Christian in life just be a good person its tragic good actors die from diseases but that is life ordinary people die from ailments every day so what is new ? James
On the other hand, the Bible is quite adamant that there are none who are good, you could make out an argument for universal goodness using a human standard of goodness or righteousness but according to Christian teaching, this standard does not give you a right to dwell with God one day. In Roman's chapter 4: verses 9 - 20, the New Testament standard of righteousness is clearly laid out. There is none righteous, no not one. Thats why we make! or used to make such a big deal about Christmas; it was to remember that God has made provision for our plight in giving his son to die on the cross in our place; 'In my place condemned he stood, sealed my pardon with his blood'. we used to sing; so that we might live. But this is not universally given to everyone, but to those only who repent of their sins and disobedience and submit to God's provision for their salvation.@@jamesfitzpatrick9869
