Brilliant documentary based on a limited amount of archive footage of Beecham himself conducting and speaking. Pity there are no captions or credits naming the participants, among whom I saw Eugene Cruft, Jack Brymer, Lee Goossens, Leopold Stokowski, Geraint Evans, George Brownfoot, Eva Turner (I think), Norman Del Mar . . . and others I don't recognize. The 'how very singular' story at c.19'50" was nothing to do with a flautist: it was during WW2 when the BBC Orchestra was at Bedford and its organist was George Thalben-Ball. 'That man's name is Ball?' 'Yes, Sir Thomas.' 'How very singular.' I'd love to know the origins of this programme. Thanks for posting.

The Lightning is one sick plane, the best interceptor we had.

Do not play in excess to the audience. We aren’t worth it I must say.

Wish Me Luck as you Wave Me Goodbye is going to be my funeral song!

He'd have been 81 if he'd lived 😊

A gentle man from a more gentle age.

_Sir Kenneth Clark: Portrait of a Civilised Man - A Culture Show Special_ Episode aired 31 May 31 2014 (The video at 58:56 repeats the beginning starting from 1:37.)

Gran actor, subestimado. Todas las películas que le he visto son excelentes. Carácter, personalidad y destaca sobre el resto de actores. Sin duda uno de los mejores de Hollywood. Una real estrella de cine. Merecía ese Oscar por Mesala, en forma indiscutible...grande maestro ...los que entendemos de cine ...te extrañamos, además, por tu temprana partida 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

BRITISH ACTOR NOT UK ACTIR!!

The greatest. Simply the greatest. RIP

I recall a Monday night in late Aug 1980, I was 14. The death of Yootha was on page 1 of The Herald, here in Melbourne. Unbelievable. George and Mildred was at its peak when she died. If I recall, not long prior to this, Brian Murphy had announced that he planned to not make more George and Mildred episodes, on account of negativity with the henpecked image of George's character. Is my memory right on this?

His documentaries were "elitist". That's why they're still watchable and informative today. Other than the crap that is churned out these days.

ABSOLUTELY FANTASTIC

His wifes were all mooses 😂😂😂 💩 lovers were much better 😂😂😂😅

its a shame who ever bought his lonsdale belts did not donate them back to his family or all his so called friends who speake so dearly of him on this clip of his life did not chip in to buy them & give them back to his family

Think Frank is here at his best, just going no script just make it up as he goes along 😂 should been more this.

Loved Arthur Askey. He was the same off stage as he was on stage.

18:18 even Big Billy

I thought this series was funny when it first appeared....

Both Henry Cooper And Joe Frazier Were Known For Their Vicious Left Hooks. But With Big Differences: Frazier's Hook Was A Looping Punch, That Could Knock You Out! But Cooper's Hook Was A Snapping Punch, That Could Knock Your Head Off! 🥊

Stayed there in the 80’s when it was owned by the post office

She's probably my favorite actress of all time, although Joan Crawford and Barbara Stanwyck are also there. Bette was a spunky woman. I would have loved to have met her. Much more humble than she's given credit for.

Cooper won that fight hands down. Cooper had a great retirement, Bugner was a lousy fighter and had a crap career!

Peçt for this song played by the Kenya Army Band since I joined

So lovely to find this documentary. Trully beautiful.

He made everybody happy

John Scott is exceptional human being who listens.Thank you for your company. Bless

Wankers

Once a Sapper Always a Sapper, til I go to the Sqn bar.

I’ve seen you stuffing sandwiches with mutton instead of lamb on a Tuesday!’ Who do you think you are, Billy the Kid from Agony Wick? Where’s me washboard? How queer.

Thanks George for posting this ,any more this type would be appreciated…….. The presenter nearly died while filming this series as the hotel lift broke free and he went down 19 floors before emergency brakes worked Also while in the chamber he was talking about the curse when the place went black total shut down…… I know as I was there………..stories I could tell about that and music tours…..the last 30 yrs…….

He made a porter feel like a KING. Says it all what a man.

Born to be ❤️❤️❤️ breaker👻👻👻

He was much better from Heston

Messala was real good💪👍

Pity he turned to God towards the end of his career...

Fantastic boots

Roger your losing ya barnet 😂

Gorgeous.

Wonderfully politically incorrect.

Alternative title: Frank commanding people to turn off their TV and mentioning the breakfast show at 6am on Channel M for and an whole hour.

People seem to think the actor has the same personality as the character. They are actors!

Don’t forget Alan Bates, Richard Harris, Oliver Reed and Tom Courtney

If this was produced today, I'd pay their stupid and racist fee. But no; screw them.

Yes he was adorable in here gorgeous eyes very handsome rest in peace Omagh Sheriff
