Today the world lost a treasure, an honorable and dedicated man, actor and a talented comedian. All from The Wombles, Jackanory, Old Jack's Boat, his appearance on Fawlty Towers and Wilfred from Doctor Who. Bernard Cribbins... You were and always will be a favored personality, in the past, present and future. Wherever it is you've gone, I hope you'll keep'em laughing and in stitches! Rest well, and godspeed! ❤️❤️❤️
And of course, not forgetting my absolute favourite film of all time, The Railway Children, as Perks. "OAKWORTH! OAKWORTH STATION!"... God bless him. A genius among the stars, now with them.
Thank you so much for uploading this. I only know his work from Fawlty Towers and Doctor Who, but this just shows how talented an actor he was. RIP BC.
@@eddief32 We all have our places we treasure the artist for the joy they created, definitely! Never to be forgotten, seeing the love for him out there is astonishing, thank you for keeping his name alive!
@@kalinystazvoruna8702 He was a man of many talents, chiefly entertaining people and making them laugh and enjoy life, as much as he did himself. Thank you for checking it out and helping keeping his name alive! :)
Sean...you have identified the sure mark of giftedness ..effortlessness ,an almost lack of interest and an automatic quality..I've noticed it in sport as well as entertainment
Mr Cribbins would be delighted to know how many of his fans are seeking out his other performances we hadn't been exposed to before. Over 7 decades of brilliance, and it wasn't enough. But it'll do, Bernard. It'll do, mate. Thank you for the laughs and the tears. Decades on, I'll still be introducing people to this wonderful entertainer. 💜 Thanks so much for posting this one!
I grew up with The Wombles and Jackanory and my son with Old Jack's Boat (which we watched together). How many other entertainers lasted that long and did so much for so many people. I know that today, I won't read a single comment that doesn't show appreciation and thanks for Bernard Cribbins' life and work.
Bernard and Ronnie were great friends and as soon as he heard this track Bernard was on the phone to Ronnie to ask if he could sing it on an upcoming edition of TGOD. At the end of the show a lady in the audience told him she hadn't heard that song since she went to music hall in her younger days! A measure of the talents of both men!!
Not a piano has been shifted since 1962 without Bernard's brilliance being recognised. 'Right Said Fred' was produced by one George Martin - shows you that quality knows quality, doesn't it. RIP Bernard and thank you.
My earliest memory of Bernard Cribbins was listening and laughing along with my mother in the kitchen as she put the clothes though the mangle rollers from the old washing machine. Bernard Cribbins was on the old bakelite radio we still had, singing the song about the ‘ole that was “round when it ought to be square” 😂😂. He’ll be so very much missed. R.I.P. dearest gentleman.
@@budgetnuclearweapons7858 Mum and me used to laugh at the way shirts came out the other end of the mangle like people flattened by steam roller 😂. Posh was wall to wall carpeting. We had linoleum and rugs.
What a coincidence... I watched "Two way stretch" yesterday. Outstanding comedy with Peter Sellers, Bernard Cribbins, Wilfrid Hyde White and Lionel Jeffries among others 😄 I love classic comedies 👌👍 Thanks for uploading. Greetings from Denmark🇩🇰
And remember that the comedy was from the Edwardian era. My grandmother loved this show because she remembered all the songs from the first time round...
Such a superb performance, the mix of recall, the quality of the writing, the singing, the gestures, and the timing as he responds to the audience, it's all there and it's just wonderful.
The Independent. Johnson, well known around the world as a despicable liar, lazy lowlife scumbag and fat scruffy spaffer in chief, is facing the prospect of a “cash for votes” inquiry into why his party used public money to “blackmail” its own MPs. During last week’s row over the long list of Paterson/Johnson sleaze enquiries, the Conservative Party whips office told backbenchers from the "Red Wall" their constituency areas would lose funding if they failed to vote with the government. Now the gimpish cabinet secretary Simon Case is to investigate the allegations - which everyone including all opposition parties, deaf and blind groups and inmates of Strangeways say amounts to yet another gross misuse of public funds and total disregard of parliamentary rules. The clown minister’s spokesarsehole confirmed the reports when questioned about them on Friday while showing complete contempt for Brexit voters, flag wavers and Red Wall constituents. In a letter to Mr Case, Liberal Democrat leader Ed Davey said it has been proven that the government was “consistently threatening to withhold vital investment from communities across the UK, in an effort to blackmail backbenchers into voting in an unconscionable and immoral way. “It is unthinkable that local communities would be punished by having vital funding taken away, just because their deceitful Tory MPs attempt to defend the indefensible. Johnson, regarded widely as a waste of oxygen, said "the Red Wall voters kindly lent me their vote, it is now up to me how I best use it against them, after all, they all say they knew what they were voting for"
RIP to an ex Para a true gentleman who should have been knighted many years ago - WHY NOT? I met you years ago at Fanrborough Air Show you chatted like we were mates. Make them laugh in paradise old mate.
Truly saddened to hear of his passing, the most avuncular of uncles, big part of my childhood which he made better and how did he manage to remember all that dialogue? amazing talent.
We have lost great comedians like Barry Cryer, Eric Sykes, and Bob Monkhouse who knew everything about what made their contemporaries like Tony Hancock, Frankie Howerd for example ticked.
He only ever had to walk out on to the stage and immediately I knew that I was in for a great time. Impeccable timing like a Swiss timepiece. R.I.P Bernard C. You will be missed tons ❤️🙏🏻
A multi-faceted talent born when the music hall he so adroitly serves in this performance was still a recent part of British social and musical history. RIP.
I was asked who my life-idol was. Who I most venerated in all the world. I thought of the Dalai Lama and Nelson Mandela, but I came back to Berrnard Cribbens. Bernard Cribbens makes being a human a bit more respectable.
Leonard Sachs would have been old enough to have been Andrew's father but they were not related. Leonard clearly surprised and delighted Bernard Cribbins with his ad lib during the patter routine.
The consumate performer at the height of his powers, as for the Good old days, epic tv and outstrips the pathetic efforts on the box today, although the woke, my way or the highway mob would ensure it never got shown, pathetic.
