Here's Lucy - Lucy Meets the Burtons - Episode aired 14 September 1970 - Clip 

The voice from the valleys that travelled around the world leaving us intoxicated 🌹

Lucy's pause at the end of the recital was worthy of Jack Benny and then...."You should stick to plumbing". Priceless.

I am impressed Mr. Burton did this scene with Lucy, he showed a different side, I love it. I love his speaking Welsh too, ... “bite your tongue... it losses a little in translation”!

I only clicked on this video once I saw Lucy. She was such a gorgeous dame during her hey days. A real genuine doll

"I'M A WELSHMAN!" R.I.P. Mr. Burton. The fact that they both kept from cracking up with laughter shows what great actors they were.

I saw Mr.Burton and Elizabeth Taylor years ago on Broadway in "Private Lives". His voice was made for the stage-the movies never did it justice.

Absolutely brilliant clip! LB's sarcastic looks and RB's voice and shakespearian depth. And the humour is GREAT! :)

Lucille Ball was an absolutely gorgeous woman. And oh my, Richard Burton, be still my heart.

He should have done more comedy. Brilliant.

Great actor sadly missed

Richard Burton was touched by the hand of God.

I'd say that was a great bit from _Richard II_ by a master thespian, but Burton could read the lyrics to My Humps and make it sound like genius.

I've read sad things about the week that Lucy and the Burtons were together - but in this scene, the two of them are terrific together.

Just watched.an old Burton movie, My Cousin Rachel, also starring Olivia de Havilland. Very good.

Great clip! It must have been hard for Lucy to keep a straight face in this scene.

Who but Lucy could get Burton to play the fool? RIP the great Lucille Ball, the smartest woman ever associated with Hollywood. She went from glamor girl to comedienne to producer to owner of the most productive TV studio ever but never got uppity about it whatsoever. A wonderful, humble but hard American woman. A grinder, a hustler, a creator to be remembered and celebrated.

Just a couple of icons!

Richard Harris recited some of this speech as part of the eulogy for Burton

Wow. Just wow, wow, wow.

In 1986 I was sat in Neath Cricket Club one evening with a fellow teammate and his father. My friends father said, “see that man playing cards at that table”, I said “the grey haired man facing us”, he said, “yes that man”, “you’ll never guess who he is”, “he’s Richard Burton’s brother”. It was incredible for me to see this man quietly playing cards, in yet he was the brother of a superstar and legend in Richard Burton. Guess you had to be there, however, at the time it was something to me at least.

I thought Richard Burton was the sexiest man I ever laid my eyes on. Fav. actor...That voice, his eyes and his chest. I used to be a young chick but now an aging broad! Richard is still it. Miss his talent.

Richard Burton's secret passion: plumbing.

From Richard II

Superb.

The Richard Burton Diaries : ...Thursday 14th, Beverly Hills Hotel Those who had told us that Lucille Ball was ‘very wearing’ were not exaggerating. She is a monster of staggering charmlessness and monumental lack of humour. She is not ‘wearing’ to us because I suppose we refuse to be worn. I am coldly sarcastic with her to the point of outright contempt but she hears only what she wants to hear. She is a tired old woman and lives entirely on that weekly show which she has been doing and successfully doing for 19 years. Nineteen solid years of double-takes and pratfalls and desperate up-staging and cutting out other people's laughs if she can, nervously watching the ‘ratings’ as she does so. A machine of enormous energy, which driven by a stupid driver who has forgotten that a machine runs on oil as well as gasoline and who has neglected the former, is creaking badly towards a final convulsive seize-up. I loathed her the first day. I loathed her the second day and the third. I loathe her today but now I also pity her. After tonight I shall make a point of never seeing her again. The hitherto impeccably professional Joan Crawford was so inhibited by this behemoth of selfishness that she got herself stupendously crocked for the actual show and virtually had to be helped to her feet and managed, not without some satisfaction I dare say, to bugger up the whole show. I said very loudly after yawning prodigiously and being asked by the director, a nice but not overly brilliant man called Jerry Paris, whether I was tired or bored or what, that I was not particularly any of those things but was puzzled as to why anybody who didn't have to for financial reasons et al. would submit themselves to this mindless routine week after week for 19 years. Miss Ball and her apology of a husband who was sitting beside me said nothing at all. The husband is a man called Gary Morton, who laughs at all her ‘takes’ etc. however often she does them and whether well or not.

I ADORE READING ...

Love his voice I would listen to him forever . I always thought he and Elizabeth were a good match

I'm a Welshman & you better stick to plumbing. Great stuff.

good thing he is a better actor than plumber

From what I've read of him in biographies he hated the entire experience of working with Lucy. I can understand why. What a squandering of talent.

Love it

Charisma oozes from every pore! Burton's not bad either!😉

Bravo!

Upload the segment where Lucy tries the ring on and we see it on her hand :D

Burton was probably completely wasted during his performance, like he usually was at the time.

Can anyone translate what he says to her? I'm learning Welsh but can only catch the words he says at the beginning and the end of the sentence.

Damn, I was 9 days old…

" You're English arn't you?" Uh, oh ...

A master meets a 'hairdo' comedian, also very funny, two types that usually don't gel!

Which play is that quote from?

Nobody likes the English except me lol. He was such an amazing Shakespearian actor RIP Mr Richard Burton...

Alcohol ruined this man and his talent.

16 people watch Spongebob.

He stole the Show there. Apparently Burton couldn't stand Ball and never wanted to see her again.

Boy he’s a short little man isn’t he.

He couldn't stand her.

i think it needs a washer, what ever that is...the dummying of america...

What a Loss.

I'm not a big Shakespeare person....but I'd sit and listen to him all nite....he's DAMN GREAT w it✌️🖖😍😎

NO welshman ever had class and breeding !!

He's tiny, Lucile Ball was only 5'' 1'' Burton must be only 5' 2''

Why in gods name did burton lower himself to do I love Lucy was crap the best Welsh actor ever bloody good actor all that talent wasted
