St. Patrick's is East London, I've had the sad honour of arranging funerals there as an undertaker. I had no idea how huge it was (I was arranging from Essex). Thank you so much for this video. Stephen Lewis was a part of a lot of childhoods but we never know the man behind the character. Thank you Paul

I just checked Google Maps and his grave is actually marked on there.

He was an institution as Blakey. The immortal line "I'll get you Butler, you see if I don't" was superbly delivered. Absolute icon.

@MandyLloyd210 7 месяцев назад

What a beautiful tribute to old “Blakey” Thank you Paul For doing this one. My favourite saying of his was “I ate you Butler” RIP Stephen 💙

The era of decent tv has sadly disappeared years ago! i grew up in the eighties but would happily watch repeats and reruns of these classics over the crap thats on nowadays

@geoffpoole483 7 месяцев назад

Some tv comedies don't age well at all. Porridge and Only Fools and Horses have stood the test of time but the Young Ones definitely hasn't. These days there are more channels/tv stations so it's possible that a series which would not have been commissioned in the 80s for the simple reason that it's garbage, has a better chance of being commissioned these days.

@stephenashley8175 7 месяцев назад

I remember meeting Mr Lewis on Wakefield Station some years back he cut a very forlorn figure. I told him how his character Blakey was a good part of my childhood. Its frightening really, I am now an old aged pensioner. He seemed a very humble person.

My mother past away in 2010 aged 88 yrs, she had been a clippy on the buses back in the 1950's. She lived in Australia having been a £10 POM back in the 60's and absolutely loved the series Especially Stephen Lewis as the Inspector. She always said it was very well researched and reminded her so much of those days on the busses. About a year before she past away I had bought her the boxed set on DVD of all 74 episodes. When ever I see anything about the series it reminds me of those days back in the 50's when I was a young lad.

@Andydroid336 7 месяцев назад

"Oh Butler, this has made my day" Paul, this has made my day. A very much underrated actor. When he spoke out of character, his voice was completely different, quite posh and well educated. Unfortunately he was a bit typecast and couldn't show his true acting ability. Sadly missed. Thanks Stephen for the laughs. Thanks Paul for a great tribute. 👍

@geoffpoole483 7 месяцев назад

It's a shame actors get typecast but for the majority of the profession they can't be sure when they'll get another job so they probably have to accept typecasting with good grace.

I own both "On The Buses TV Series" and the The Movies, "Don't Drink The Water TV Series", "Sparrows Can't Sing". It seems you're filming people from every DVD in my collection R.I.P. Stephen, thanks Paul. lol

@carolineharry6605 7 месяцев назад

That's a vast cemetery Paul. 😱I had no idea he wrote Sparrows Can't Sing. I don't recall Don't Drink The Water. He was the driving instructor in Two Point Four Children, remember that?. He was in a lot of stuff wasn't he. Impressive. It's so touching his gravestone, especially having Blakey on there. Thanks Paul, great video.

Stephen (Blakey) Lewis. Great memories of this man, from his many On The Buses Scenes. So much laughter, the man didn't have to try to make us laugh. Still today in '23/24 year I still watch this man and still laugh the same now as I did then. Thank you so much MR LEWIS. Could never replace a man of his character and talent.

@BassGirlSusan1961 7 месяцев назад

It's due to Blakey I learned (at a young age) the meaning of 'Lecherous". No one makes comedy like the British. Always has been, always will be.

@dinshawpocha4882 7 месяцев назад

Hi Paul, I used to watch On The Buses the first time round when it originally came out with my family in Wimbledon, never missed an episode. The whole cast were perfect in the roles they played and the comedy was spot on .In 1972 we moved to Croydon in 1975 my dad and me were killing some time in the Whitgift Shopping Centre whilst my sister and mum went shopping and I pointed out to dad " Look there's Arthur from On The Buses". and it was, he was wearing a long trench coat fully buttoned up with a flat cap tilted forward covering his face, his hands in the side coat pockets and when he looked at us he looked down at the ground and quickly walked away. Dad smiled and laughed. Never met Stephen Lewis but I understand that at personal appearances he used to dress up as Blakey and went into character which his fans loved. Loved this video. Take Care

@suemckenna2430 7 месяцев назад

This one was quite emotional for me as he reminds me a lot of my dad , what a packed cemetary and what an unusual memorial on your way in, always remember watching on the buses and how they used to give ' Blakey ' the runaround loved it. Thanks Paul as usual learnt more about the man behind character .

that graveyard is enormous ! Imagine the amount of history through the lives of the people buried there! Mind boggling…good vid Paul !

@gm4551 7 месяцев назад

I believe that after 'On The Buses' finished, there was a new programme planned called 'Back On The Buses'. The plan was for Stan and Jack to set up their own bus company as a rival to Blakey's bus company. For whatever reason this never came to fruition which is a real pity as it would likely have been a great follow up series and enjoyed by the many fans of 'On The Buses'.

@KittyCatFurbabiesMaria1972 7 месяцев назад

St Patrick's Catholic cemetery is in Leytonstone London E11, there are a few other known people who are buried there. Stephen Lewis last lived in a care home in Wanstead East London. Everyone loved him when he was acting as Blakey on the buses. Thank you for honouring this lovely man. Great video.

@davidluck4608 6 месяцев назад

Stephen Lewis’s final resting place is in the same area as my Late Father-in-law. It is on reclaimed land which has been built up from the older Church Yard and is fairly high up overlooking the A12 and the Central Line. RIP Stephen, you made us all LAUGH😇

@joanne26 7 месяцев назад

I used to watch the iconic ‘on the buses’ never missed an episode as a kid. As a kid someone like Blakey’s character would be really old but he was young in his 40’s. Looking at this graveyard and I know you say central London but OH MY it’s so full - I’ve never seen one ‘as jam packed’ All my local church graveyards including my own churchyard (Roman Catholic) is going to be full up in the next 10 years and that’s with cremations, with very small headstones no room now for burials. 😀😀🇬🇧🇬🇧❤️❤️🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🙏🙏
