Please join me in this video, Thora Hird - A Life Well Lived.
Thora Hird was one of Britain's best-known and best-loved comedians. Thora's upbringing was decidedly theatrical, but she had a healthy and normal childhood, and one of the many joys in her life, was to remember her childhood with great affection and nostalgia.
With a career spanning more than eight decades, Thora Hird is widely regarded as one of the finest character actresses Britain has ever produced!
Thora Hird appeared in more than 100 films and also starred in many television comedies, she was also a marvelous stage actress and brilliantly portrayed the works of the famous playwright Alan Bennett for television.
Thora Hird worked into her nineties with great dedication, regardless of the health issues that came with her age - Thora Hird was a consummate professional.
Please join me (on a rather wet and windy day!) in remembering the life of this brilliant actress and entertainer, and walk with me as I take flowers to the Garden of Remembrance in Chichester where Thora Hird's funeral took place in March 2003.

Thora Hird was a gem in real life. In about 1981, I was on a coach tour of the southern states of the US and who should be on it but Thora and her husband. She was recovering from a hip operation. She mucked in with everyone else and never played the star -- she was always ready to wait her turn. On the day we were due to fly home, we arrived at the airport and were told there would be a considerable delay because of heavy snow in the UK. When we eventually boarded, the crew recognised Thora and offered her two seats in first class. She refused, saying she wanted to sit with her "friends'', her fellow coach passengers. They don't make stars like that any more.

Being born in the 90s and from New Zealand, my generation watched US content, kid shows and other youth/young adult audience content on our 'TVNZ2' channel compared to 'TVNZ1' which catered to the older adults and seniors with UK shows, etc. I remembered my parents watching TVNZ1 all the time (they were boomers) so I recalled watching shows like Coronation Street, Emmerdale, vaguely EastEnders and other shows as a kid. I remember Dame Thora Hird from when my parents used to watch Last of the Summer Wine. Her voice is what I remember. After seeing this I never realized she had such a resume. What an incredible lady.

Yes! She worked non-stop, so many of the actors and actresses back then worked hard - sometimes I don’t think people people realise they weren’t just on the tv or making films - they were working on stage, doing Summer Season, Panto, opening events, charity events etc - always on the go!

I had seen Thora in a couple of 1940's films but my abiding memory is her appearance as the archetype mother in law in, "A kind of loving' when Alan Bates Returned home drunk and threw up behind the settee. Thora's look was enough without having to say anything that absolutely creased me with laughing. Just like yourself, It's got to be one of my favourite films that Thora Hird appeared in.

I saw Thora once, as she was eating a meal in a cafe in Blackpool, of course I just smiled at her and left her alone, having just watched her on stage..She also came out with the funniest line Iv'e ever heard, when playing "In Loving Memory"..Christopher Beeney had shut himself in the pantry, Thora was looking for him, and opened the door and there he stood, stark naked, hands in front! All she said was "Oh Billy..my best jelly mould!"...I'm laughing just writing this!

It's good to hear about actors and actresses who in real life are traditional and religious people. We too often hear stories about Hollywood types whose behaviour is terrible, and now whose political views when expressed alienate half their potential audience. I like the old-style actor like Thora Hird who treated it like a job and not a license to misbehave.

Thora hird is one of my all time favourites, and she never disappoints. We have Lost For Words ond DVD, and never tire of watching it. Another actor on that is Pete Postlethwaite. Brilliant. You have reminded me of so many good films we have seen by so many iconic actors, and will always enjoy revisiting their films and TV shows. I'm so happy to have found your videos, please keep on entertaining all of us who enjoys these wonderful actors.

I loved Thora as an actress and in comedy she always managed to make me chuckle and laugh it was fun watching her on tele, I loved watching her on Last of the summer wine, where she would be driving and she would blame her husband for moving the gear stick lol xx

She really was - both wonderful and busy! Also I think with a lot of he old stars you tend to forget how much stage work they did! Same with Stanley Holloway etc - they were really hard workers!

Another lovely video. Given her northern accent was so strong I assumed that she had stayed up north. So how wrong can I be since Chichester is not too far north!!! She was an amazing actress and all of the people in Alan Bennetts Talking Heads were superb.
@BeautifulBadandBizarre

Yes! Her accent was unshakeable - you would have assumed that! ❤️🌹 She was truly a marvellous actress and as for Alan Bennett - what a writer! Unbeatable ❤️❤️❤️

Thora had a very warm voice and of course her lovely personality seemed always to be conveyed. Her performance in The Cream Cracker Under The Settee was deservedly garnered a BAFTA. She once phones a friend of mine who had, just before she died, sought her autograph. He was Scottish and she a lovely chat with him and especially remembered her husband with him.

My Parents were huge fans of “Last of the Summer Wine” and would watch “Songs of Praise” and “Praise Be” religiously (no pun intended)😁 Thora Hird was a good looking actress in her younger day, and became a versatile character actress. I am amazed she did not request to be buried, or her ashes to be scattered somewhere in Lancashire, as she was a proud Northerner... AGAIN I am surprised there is no grave stone or memorial plaque to this very popular personality 💐🌼

I first remember Thora playing opposite Freddie Frinton in the early '60s comedy series 'Meet the Wife'. An absolute gem and well worth looking up, with Freddie playing the henpecked husband to perfection. 😁

Such beautiful eyes and such a gifted actress. I can only really remember her from Songs of Praise which I wasn’t really into but we didn’t have many channels to watch back then. I guess I’d underestimated her brilliant career and now I think about it she was in a lot more things than I thought, including my fave Carry On’s. Thanks for the fascinating documentary and I feel I have laid some flowers with you, thanks for giving me the chance to do that 🙏🏻X
