Can I just say that the research that has gone into this and other documentaries from England and indeed every one of your documentaries is incredible. Quite unbelievable. The best series of docs on You Tube
This has got to be the best documentary series ever. Love it. Everything about it. The painstaking research the production values and of course Arthur's fantastic narration. Thank you so much. The three English episodes are of course my favourites being a proud Brit but all are fantastic. I could listen to Arthur's voice forever. Just superb.
I think that the Bronte family is one of the saddest. I can't even imagine the horror of burying all your children or outliving your children. That one touched me the most.
The story about the wrestling family the von Erichs is almost as tragic. Out of five brothers, four died or committed suicide. Only one is alive and not surprisingly, he refused to get into the family business and moved away to Hawaii. The brothers are buried in Dallas, Texas.
I live quite local to Howarth, the graveyard has over 10,000 graves in it, plus its on top of the hill and this is what caused the high number of deaths in the village due to the drinking water being contaminated. Its very sad but a beautiful church
Being British myself, I have absolutely and so thoroughly enjoyed your tour of England's graveyards and cemeteries. I sincerely do hope you come back again soon, I cannot express to you how I have truly found these three episodes to be quite so extraordinary and researched so well. Thank you and best wishes.
I was blown away , I had no idea that 2 of the biggest books in history were written by sisters who died just years from each other, their poor father,,and it kills me that so many people think they have itso rough then you look at this.
His favorite daughter died in her teens from a fever at boarding school, his son flew into murderous rages and threatened to kill him, and he outlived all of his family. Gripping story, very gothic!
I’d like to thank everyone who took the time to video all these cemeteries. Beautiful cemeteries and churches as well. I live in L.A. so the really beautiful ones are few. Thank you Arthur for putting these together and, also making a connection with the deceased and what they were known for. I was surprised that I knew so many of them for their work but, not their name.
I cant tell you how many times I re-watch these. They never get boring. There is so much information that it never seems repetitive. Thank you Mr Dark and all the others involved in creating Hollywood Graveyard. I can't express enough how much joy they bring me@
Eh ? they are all neglected what you on about, English people don't remember the dead very much like other countries, have you ever seen Polish graveyards ?
My favourite actor has always been Richard Todd and it was lovely to see what a beautiful place he was I saw him a few times on stage and will never forget him, thank you Arthur glad you like our beautiful churches some are over a thousand years old.
@@lazyhazeldaisy9596 You are so right! after all of these years, i thought that Richard Todd was in The High and the Mighty! Whatever movie that i saw him in, i fell in love with him instantly! I will try and watch his movies to see which one that i can remember! That was many many years ago, but I hope i can remember a scene that brings it back! Have a good safe day lazyhazeldaisy and thanks!
"Sir Alfred Hitch-Cat!!! Beautiful little cat.. We have a cat that looks exactly like him. Solid Black, Gold Eyes, Good weight and oversees the yard. Ours lives in Florida, U.S.A. and is a really sweet little guy. Doesn't chase birds, or squirrels, Doesn't fight with other cats and keeps to himself always. We keep him well fed, to the vet and loved. Not bad for a stray that just walked into our lives.
There is a Russian Orthodox monastery in Brookwood cemetery, they feed and look after resident cat, who is very cute and friendly🐈. I sometimes get the feeling that he was placed there with a purpose, to greet visitors and comfort the mourners.
Things worth waiting for: Hollywood Graveyard videos, visiting Are You Being Served cast members resting places, anyone from Doctor Who... Arthur,Thank you for sharing,much thanks also to sponsors& others involved in making these videos.England is one beautiful country.
These cemeteries and churches in England are absolutely gorgeous. So beautiful and relaxing. I love every time I find that you have posted a new video. So professionally done, so informative, and so entertaining. Thank you!
Daddy, Onslow, Richard and Rose have all passed away from "Keeping Up Appearances" I would have loved to have seen their resting places. I so look forward to your presentations. Still looking out for your name on the Netfix, HBO...marquee, you're excellent. Thanks for the posting.
His mispronunciation of film names and so on, and general grammatical mistakes, make me wonder what you mean. These videos are very entertaining, though. No one’s prefect.
I don't think he's comes to UK he does a viewers special on UK graves submitted by members vids and edited with voice overs. Very professional I might add . And very interesting with bio and films .
@@David-uq2uk I guess that is how he did the UK grave tours. But still, there are more celeb graves in the UK that have yet to be covered on this channel.
St Patrick's cemetery Leytonstone in London has the remains of Mary Jane Kelly, last victim of Jack the Ripper, Timothy Evens who was wrongly hanged for the murder of his wife and baby when it was later revealed it was John Reginald Halliday Christie who had murdered them instead. The case was famously known as Rillington Place. Also the family plot of the Hitchcocks. (Alfred) are there. Ive really enjoyed these episodes of English graves thank you.
Yeah, but this series isn’t about murderers, etc.🤷♀️. It’s about entertainers. But that would be a cool special episode! He so good I’d love some special episodes.
I live near liverpool and met Ken Dodd when he came in for treatment to the hospital where I worked. This was about 18 months before he died, but he was still cracking jokes, even after surgery. A true professional.
I met Rod Hull in the 70's, i was working in a grocery shop near Bingley in West Yorkshire, Rod pulled up in his car to visit another shop close by, so i grabbed a piece of paper and got his autograph, which i still have. He was a lovely man, very kind and told me he was going camping. I will always remember his lovely smile as he waved goodbye.
What makes Richard Todd so interesting is that in WW2, he was in the army and took part, on D-Day, in the taking of Pegasus Bridge. In the film, The Longest Day, he played the part of his Commander from that day and relived his experience of taking Pegasus Bridge. He even had to speak to 'himself'. He's buried in between two of his sons who both sadly committed suicide.
You can search hundreds of you tube channels and will never ever see the quality and time he puts into his videos I applaud you sir plz keep doing what u do and never sell out to the big boys of screen cause u are ten times better
Thank you for your knowledge. It's unusual to hear Joseph Merrick spoken of with respect instead of the just "the Elephant Man." My husband has Proteus Syndrome and so it's rather personal to me. Well done.
Although these videos are about departed souls, they are food for my soul. As always, Arthur Dark's work is incomparable. The striking imagery and scenery, informative narratives, and Arthur's iconic voice are all I need for a very satisfying day. Thank you so much.
Thank you so much again chap .... I’m English I’m 52 and sooo proud of what this little country has done in all the arts . Are history is long complicated and very old . Please don’t stop doing this ..... I know I speak for a lot of people . Jamie🇺🇸❤️🏴
You just keep getting better and better Arthur!! I appreciate the amazing amount of work you have put into these remote episodes~ Bravo once again Mr. Dark 🇬🇧 🕯 🇺🇸
🌍Elaine Washington 🇺🇸 An exceptional , well thought out documentary that shows respect to each individual laid at rest. The time of long hours of research of each and every person is appreciated and thanks given to Mr. Arthur Dark. Your voice lends to the sound of quiet appreciation to all whom lived life. Your audience applauds your talents!👏 My very favorite documentary is Swisszerland . The beauty of care in maintaining each grave site and the scenery in the background is breathtaking! Your audience gives you 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 of excellence! 🌍Elaine Washington🇺🇸
Vivian Leigh was such an exquisite beautiful woman to have graced the screen in the golden age of Hollywood. My favorite quote from her from "Gone with the Wind" "After all tommorow is another day".
I enjoy your programs so much. It's great to remember those who've brought so much excellent entertainment into our lives. Hollywood Graveyard is one of my favorite youtube channels!!
This is one of the few channels that I anxiously wait for next episodes. Thank Arthur!! Also wanted to add that while Edward Elgar is probably best know for Pomp and Circumstance, perhaps his best music is the Enigma Variations. The 9th variation is called "Nimrod" and is unbelievably beautiful
Thank you for doing this i really enjoy this i always look forward to your new ones. I know where James Earl Jones uncle is buried in Michigan. My dad was good friends with the family.
Great to see another episode from England 🏴!!!!!! Please do more here. Loved Ronnie Barker and Peter Butterworth "Everything's a pound" from Carry On Camping. We won't forget them, thanks for the laughs! ❤️❤️❤️Love Sharon in England x
Awesome! I don't know why, Mr Ron, but I could listen to you talk and teach us about history through cemetery tours!!! Seriously, I was always walking through cemeteries from the time I was a young gal. And, here I thought I was strange. Glad we can team together and enjoy what is obviously a love love moment for all! Your channel is THE best! ❤️❤️🇺🇲🇺🇲
Sir Arthur, this is just amazing. The background music is top notch. I lived in England and Wales for two years and absolutely love the people and the two countries. There is so much history of all kinds there. Thank you for these episodes.
Never would have pictures "The well known typing error" of the Goon shows finding peace in such gorgeous cemetary. My father loved the Goons. RIP Spike Milligan... And you visit one of the two Ronnies. Loved his English lanuage muddles and "The Phantom Raspberry Blower" translates well to all generations. 🙂
@@wendesmith6240 Came here to see if anyone would mention this. That made Sheridan her grandson. Sheridan wrote one of my favorite books, Tales From The Hollywood Raj. Another great episode, Arthur!
@@DogTotem Hello Tom. Yes, it was singular that Gladys Cooper and Robert Morley were mentioned in the same programme but the connection not made. I have Sheridan's biography of his grandmother. Every time Hyacinth Bucket (Keeping Up Appearances) mentioned her son Sheridan I thought of him. I collect postcards of Gladys Cooper and of her children Joan and John - have hundreds of them. John was a sweet looking little boy who came to a very sad end. It was he who introduced Vivien Leigh to Laurence Olivier. Enough of the trivia though - we could both probably go on for ever.
Thank you, Arthur (and Guiseppi) for another virtual trip to pay respect and learn about the lives of people who entertained and inspired us. I always look forward to your videos!
Some interesting facts about Jenny Lind. Actually born Johanna Maria Lind and was depicted on the Swedish 50sek bill from 1996-2016. Great video btw. Thanks to all that was involved in making it.
Gad, I love this show! Always excited when another episode is announced. I remember Rod Hull and Emu from The Hudson Brothers’ summer show, and then their kidshow Razzle Dazzle. Emu was always good for a laugh, but having been bitten by a real emu (twice by the same one, a year apart), I can tell you that emus do not do love nibbles. They chomp hard, and it hurts! 😁 The quote on Hull’s tombstone is from the song “Be Back Soon,” which is from the musical “Oliver!”
Its been a wonderful collection in England indeed! Thank You for the lovely tours and info you provide! I especially liked Dodds white gravestone (in marble I presume) with roses.. pretty!
