in my heart i hope these two giants of men knew how much they are loved and will always be loved.
kay imba Oh, they most certainly did, Kay. 😃
kay - Luckily, they knew in their lifetimes.
I'm sure they did, and even now, THEY STILL ARE LOVED, by those of us who remember them and continue to watch their movies
Stan Laurel was a true comedy legend, people like Peter Sellars, Benny Hill learned alot from him
Yes a tear appeared. We'd need a Cinema movie about these legends.
Wee Sir an lee do, don't we Ollie ? Mmm Mhm!!
docholl93 YOU GOT ONE HERE IN 2019 STAN & OLLIE
docholl93 you wish is granted!
Took six years but "Stan and Ollie" the movie is here !
love this duo forever!!
Ollie at the advice of his doctor went on a crash diet and lost about 150 pounds about 3 years before his series of strokes.
diddymuck so, if he'd stayed obese do you think he might have been okay?
Loved them. Pure gold as a pairing.
Outstanding acting!
Oliver has too much weight. Towards the end he had lost a tremendous amount of weight and looked really gaunt.
My first experience hearing Stan & Ollie was checking out 76rpm records from the library and will always love them and can't wait to see what they are up to on the other side. Wonderful funny guys. Wow Terrific for all time.
Must watch, thank you very much.
The only problem I have with this film is the fact that Oliver Hardy had a fairly distinct Southern US accent. He suppressed it for the Laurel & Hardy movies, but he did have it.
Also, Stan had red hair and blue eyes. The movie's riddled with inaccuracies.

But it's still enjoyable isn't it? I mean how can you get ANYONE in the world to exactly replicate those 2 greats? They broke the mould after they were born.
@@SuperBC10 yes, enjoy and respect it for what it is. Critique is not always necessary.
@@dannysquirrel Hardy had lost so much weight towards the end of his life that he was unrecognisable. Having him so big here is a massive mistake. Laurel was blue eyed and Hardy brown eyed. John C Reilly and Steve Coogan swapped eye colours with lenses in the 'Stan and Ollie' film which is the kind of attention to detail I appreciate, especially when you know that Stan's eyes were considered too blue when he first appeared in films. Also, he would not have had his strange hybrid accent at the beginning of his career surely? I first heard this on the radio and it was much more enjoyable. No distractions with continuity errors!
IF ONLY THEY KNEW IN 2019 THERE WOULD BE A NEW MOVIE ABOUT THEM.
Wow, why have I never seen this??
I have spent 50 years researching and writing about Laurel and Hardy, I knew Babe's widow Lucille very well from 1971 until she passed on in 1986, and I find this program absolutely unwatchable. Appalling.
For the sake of those of us who have not researched them for 50 years and did not know Ollie's wife, could you at least tell us what is wrong with this? Dispel a couple of inaccuracies?
@@doobej9558 How about everything! This is terrible. Read Laurel and Hardy The Magic Behind the Movies or any of a number of the great non-fiction books about them.
Exactly! Thank you!
Omg that is bishop brennan from father ted
+Jake Hughes Myers It certainly is. [emphatic nod]
"Don 't call me Len, ya little bollox." Jim Norton is his real name. A fine actor, too fine to be in this absolute dross.
Has old Stan been kicked up the arse
thank you very much for uploading this have been looking for ages for it
Great tip of the hat to Mr Laurel and Mr Hardy.
Thank You for uploading !
Thanks for the upload. From an italian L&H fan.
Bishop Brennan!
+EdgeOfSanity You beat me to it.I loved that episode.Well I loved them all really,but that was particularly hilarious.
@@madeinuk68 "hows the son" "WWWHHHAAATTTT!!"
10 minutes in...jesus. This is going to be hard watch.
Great stuff! Only one quibble: Leo McCarey, not Hal Roach, was the one who teamed Laurel and Hardy and also directed some of their funniest silents ('Battle of the Century,' 'Putting Pants on Philip', 'Wrong Again.')
Roach had the final say on all studio decisions.
horacetwiddlepass Not always.
@@joansmith6092 It was called Hal Roach Studios.
Crilly !!! Did you just kick me up the arse!!!?
I'm here because of the new tilt at capturing Stan and Ollie, starring Steve Coogan and John C. Reilly. I've not seen or heard them yet, but given their overall abilities, it strikes me as excellent casting.
The 'moment' I'm having here is the sudden realisation of the resemblance of Jim Norton to Stan. It's something I'd never have thought independently, but as soon as I saw his name in the description, I was gobsmacked.
The production of any movie dealing with the lives of Stan and Ollie leaves me nervous as the opportunity to misrepresent or dramatise the duo and portray them in an unfair light is too easy for the sake of sensationalism. When the movie, STAN AND OLLIE was released in 2019, I was dubious and prepared to be dismayed by a dramatic soap opera attempt to portray these two giants. Stan and Ollie were men like any other, with their faults and foibles, their ups and downs and the movie presents all of this but also the marvelous companionship, the magic of a partnership founded on mutual respect and ability. The pair engendered feelings comparable to love by those who watched their performances. Coogan and Reilly, through excellent writing and great sensitivity, capture the waning days of Stan and Ollie. I was afraid to watch the movie but came away with the thought that the movie does do them justice, and captures the essence of what made them great as friends and performers.
Ollie was actually quite thin at this point in his life, and for some months prior.
Didn't even know about this, many thanks!
Stan and Ollie adapted from this too. Love it
This is pretty good! Factual too.
It is neither of those things.
@@Doniedaff Thank you for stating the truth! I'm so tired of writers creating their own images and ideas of Laurel and Hardy. I've read a lot about them and I had to turn this off.
I keep expecting him to say... Crilly!!!!!
The young Stan looks so much like the original. The young Oliver is not so good, does not look like the original.
5:20, well Babe looks perfectly healthy to me. Excellent complection He's not even really sleeping, he's just pretending!
This Was very nice
but in the last days mr Oliver hardy was very skinny .

ALL stars in the sky
Same for W.C. Fields, plus Abbott & Costello.
Jerry Lewis too.
I thought Ollie was thin when he died.
he was skinny cancer ate him down to the bone
+MrLeglamp With his other health issues, Mr Hardy starved/dieted himself down to a shadow. For a while, he was on nothing but beets and beet juice! He was finally taken by cerebral thrombosis.
He didn't have cancer. He died of a stroke. Look it up.
Same as in my entire family history - the hefty people who lost a lot of weight also died shortly thereafter. The plump Great-Aunties all lived to be 88-98 years old. My namesake, who was never fat, lived to be the oldest Male in recent memory - 99 - so maybe I have a chance, if I lay off the beer and pizza ( Great Uncle Dan was a strict meat - potatoes - and Wild Turkey man)
Leglamp - you are correct, this is the only flaw in this masterpiece. He was ordered to reduce after a heart attack in '54 and in "One Moment Please" he is seen as the thinner man. The devastating stroke came in Sep. '56, from which he died the following August. He never had cancer.
Docholl93 There is a film coming out next year about them.
Oh you absolute hero.
I watched Laurel and Hardy short films in Germany during the 1970s, but they were referred to as Dick und Doof, which means Fat and Stupid. The Germans are not a subtle people.
I know this is a BBC production but it has a distinct Canadian look and sound to it. The nickname "babe" for a man that size, I find it sweet/adorable.
Actually, Jerome Howard, aka Curley of the three stooges was also nicknamed Babe.
He was always known as Babe, and in all his Lubin films (except the first) he was billed as Babe Hardy.

Trevor Cooper is amazing and doesn't have a single line...did he get any acclaim for this?
This drama is very close to reality and the acting is incredible. I'm from Italy and I've never seen it before!!!
did not know this existed...do now
I heard about this a long time ago then accidentally came across it, is there any more documentaries or films like this ?
cool.

I didn’t know there was a series on them. Here’s my review of the Irish premiere of Stan and Laurel: ruclips.net/video/Wk9PLiatLuI/видео.html
Can't help it, just see bishop brennan.. :/
TED!!!
Don't call me Len
Thanx
Good.
NICE.....
NOT BAD
Terrible casting of the iconic duo. The new movie does some justice of the appearances but it is yet to be decided in order to appraise or criticize the movie. I would of loved it if Steven Spielberg had directed it because he knows how to capture audience's emotions.
😮
I didn't know Stanley adopted an American accent.
Salty Surprise worst bit of casting of all time. Stan has an american accent. Total rubbish, look at the now movie. At first i did not like the clips, now i do, and they sound like them. This is hopeless. And they were comedy greats, in real live.
@@dalebaker9109 bad movie representation.

1959 interview
The Irony is the guy playing him is Irish. So deliberately putting on an accent Stan never had. I don't think Ida had an American accent either.
Well......that's another nice film they've gotten them into
This has play written all over it and its quite poor. Are we really supposed to believe that Stan would have behaved like that visiting his terminal ill friend? Even Olly's weight is wrong, cannot even get basic facts right.
I know! This was just so bad. It's too bad that people turn to these fake biographies to learn about real people.
7:35 is as far as I could stomach. This stinks!
BIRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRD. MAN
he was skinny cancer ate him down to the bone
He never had cancer. The weight loss was medically controlled after a heart attack.
WTF is this? It's not even accurate. Stan's accent was totally off. What? So bad. Go watch the Stan and Ollie movie instead...
Terrible casting and needlessly overdramatic writing .... another pathetic effort by the BBC
Especially how much of an unlikable douche they make Stan out to be. And that old timey Hollywood exec's ridiculous cartoon accent.
This will be the ONLY part of this SUPPOSED biography film that I WATCH !! They not only DON'T LOOK like them but they also don't have the MANNERISMS OR SOUND like them either ! If you want to watch a GOOD film on Laurel and Hardy try Stan and Ollie - those two guys had them DOWN PAT which is what I WANT when watching a film about THEM !!
