I have the entire series of "George & Mildred" and I "Love" this and other "Sit-coms" of that time. We just don't get Comedy like we used to have. I salute you Brian, and also Richard O'Sulivan who was the "Man About the House" and later in "Robin's Nest" Great Comedy" which I also have on DVD. Great Shows from a By-Gone Era.
Brian and yootha had magic on screen chemistry. So sad she didn't live to do more comic world needs more people like her . She was born same year as my mama 1927.
In lockdown I've been watching George n Mildred for the first time. We weren't allowed to watch it when I was a kid in the '70s...my mum only liked BBC! Really love stories and scripts, all the episodes were funny ♥️Great to see This is Your Life as well
Yootha gave so much, to so many.Sorry she couldn't give so much joy to herself. Sometimes we find ourselves getting completely lost & at times frightened of what lies ahead. For her, she blocked the way with alcohol. She lives on, in the make believe World. Some actors can look a little dated on screen, as the years pass. Yootha doesn't & I'm sure she will go on giving joy for years to come! 🌻♥️
A lovely tribute to Yootha. Did you know she was married to Glyn Edwards ( Dave the barman in Minder) ??? I still watch Man about the house & George & Mildred on ITV 3. Robert from Manchester
Wow, what a lovely man, until today I didn't know anything about him ,he is such a lovely all-round man. Unsung hero and I hope he is well wherever he is
Brilliantly naturally talented funny man, he made comedy look effortless, I grew up watching M.A.T.H & George and Mildred, Yootha Joyce was also awesome in those shows & I can’t believe it’s almost 40 years since she tragically lost her life at the early age of 53. Great memories though. 😢
The very beautiful man Brian Murphy who as George roper holds a place In my memories as a child and later in last of the summer wine. A gem of a English entertainer. A long life of making people laugh and smile..
George and Mildred, the most funniest and best ever to me, your a great and wonderful person Brian, may God bless you and your family in Jesus Mighty name
Wonderful, funny, and kind man. He starred in one of my favourite sit coms - George and Mildred. They just simply dont make them like that anymore. Happy days then. The days we had proper entertainment on TV.
Lovely - I know martha and I had the wonderful experience of having dinner with Mr Murphy in Brighton around the time this was made - he was an absolute gent x
What a wonderful actor, full of laughter and kept it clean in the various series that he was in, I’ll always remember him in George and Mildred, they worked together very fluently. Good on you Brian, you have done a wonderful job with your life with helping others in fostering children that needed a home to be in. You must be about 90 hrs old now and I would like to wish you all the very best wishes for the future. Thanks. Phil
After this was filmed, he also went on to have a very long run starring in Last of the summer wine as Alvin, he lived in Compo's house after Compo had died.
What a comedy legend is Brian, Yootha and Brian have got to be one of the greatest comedy double acts, there must have been a lot of marriages like theirs. Shame we recently lost another great from this show the lovely Ruth Madoc.
The show/television series I liked him in was "Last of the Summer Wine". Just loved the character, Alvin Smedley. Thank you, Brian, for making this little old lady laugh.
I cannot believe I’ve never known the real name of George from George & Mildred. It was one of my fave sitcoms along with Man about the House. The good old days when TV had a remote control with 4 excellent channels.
Lovely tribute to one of our great comic actors. Brian Murphy is a comedy legend, nice to see him being honoured on This Is Your Life and deservedly so. 👍
Still watch George n mildred and man about the house now ! always playing on ITV player ! fantastic comedys and really reminds me of when i was a kid again when i watched them 1st time round !
1988. No Mildred, as Yootha Joyce sadly died 8 years earlier, she was so striking, and a shame that she couldn’t have been a guest tonight. Yootha Joyce )1927-1980) RIP.
@@lottiebelottie I remember the hen & Chickens pub in Upper Street, once lived in Islington for 35 years from 1985, interesting how times have moved on.
This edition of This is your Life was broadcast after Christmas so at the beginning of January 1998 and what a fantastic way this was to start a brand new year. I know that This is your Life was shown over Christmas 1997 but this was the first programme of 1998.
What a lovely, genuine, funny and generous man this shows us he is. It's shame This is Your Life isn't still made to show the person behind the characters they play....way better viewing than all of this reality crap advertised now.....I say advertised because I won't lower myself to watch it.
It could never work now as everybody is monitored back then with no cameras on everything and mobile phones, it wouldn't stay a secret for long. I'm working my way through them slowly. They were hardworkers throughout their lives.😊
I like the way his sons went to an ordinary school no private schools for them. The school we went to was a secondary school in Tufnell Park. Kevin was a good looking lad then and even tho this was 1998 he is still very handsome. ❤️
Brian is a national treasure .George and Mildred was / is one of the best comedys ever made.
Brian Murphy is such a lovely man, and a ridiculously versatile talent too!
Tears are Rolling down my cheeks.
Not only a great actor, but a lovely man.
If only Yootha could have been there.
Absolutely
What a lovely, lovely man.
Whenever I need cheering up, I always put on an episode of George & Mildred. Never fails to brighten my mood 😊
I have the entire series of "George & Mildred" and I "Love"
this and other "Sit-coms" of that time. We just don't get
Comedy like we used to have. I salute you Brian, and also
Richard O'Sulivan who was the "Man About the House" and

A real talent deserving a This is your life tribute and a great person in real life.
So many foster children illustrates why he wasn't jus a great actor but a great person too.
George and Mildred One of the finest sitcoms that Britain has ever produced.
It's still funny no matter how many times you watch it
I wholeheartedly agree and unfortunately don’t make gems like these anymore. 🏴🇬🇧💕
@Jesus Defender Norman Eshley was there. He came on with Richard O'Sullivan and Paula Wilcox.

One of the best episodes I've ever watched. Never knew what a fine human being Brian was/is. A very kind, genuine and good man.
Beautiful, this is a genuine classic.
A national treasure and comedy legend
A very fine actor but more importantly a very fine human being
Brian and yootha had magic on screen chemistry. So sad she didn't live to do more comic world needs more people like her . She was born same year as my mama 1927.

A very sharp witted man. Love his style of acting and has done more than people think
loved man about the house and george and mildred. 2 of the best comedies ever.
He seems a very comfortable, warm human being, the way he hugs the guests.
The one person there in spirit if not in body.- and we all know who. Still much missed after all these years.
Yootha Joyce
Yootha Joyce was a pure joy to watch too!
💯
My late Auntie was the spitting image of Yootha Joyce, we sometimes called her Yootha for a laugh :D
You’ve been blessed!

The type of comedies brian was in will never be matched...they were and still are awesome to watch..

Yootha Joyce what a talented actress she was RIP Brian and Yootha made a great team in G&M
Yootha had the most amazing clothes. I remember her banana trousers.😂
After this was filmed, he also went on to have a very long run starring in Last of the summer wine as Alvin, he lived in Compo's house after Compo had died.
Well someone had to take care of the ferrets lol
@@rutgersplague4595 True, but i remember Compo left his ferrets to His secret lady friend, who was played by Liz Fraser in two episodes😀
What a lovely man and entertainer. He's done so much.😊 George and Mildred what a couple especially in Man about the house.....
What a comedy legend is Brian, Yootha and Brian have got to be one of the greatest comedy double acts, there must have been a lot of marriages like theirs. Shame we recently lost another great from this show the lovely Ruth Madoc.

Are you a plastic dolly? 🙌🙌🐸🐸👽
Yes a great show where he played along with many other tv stalwarts. Including are you being served Captain.
@@TheKonga88 Dolly is short for Dorothy. Was my gran and aunties name.
I know everyone mentions George and Mildred but man about the house was equally blessed by George and Mildred..a great screen couple.
Now that is a true Legend right there!
