After a long career in retail, I once had the pleasure of serving Paul Shane in a Dixons years ago, he was in a theatre show and needed a set of headphones to go with his walkman so he could rehearse. After trying some in store with his demo tape, he actually sang in the store to see if the levels were loud enough for him. Such a lovely man, was an absolute pleasure meeting him. RIP.
Lovely story, mate.
Thats a great story.
Loved paul shane r i p x
That music brings back good memories.
My brother and I loved Hi De Hi, it used to be Paul Shane, and Peggy, and his right hand man I remember. I can’t remember his name but can see his face in my head
Grannie used to bring some chocolate when she babysat as we weren’t allowed any. So we’d have a bath, pj’s on, and then eating chocolate whilst watching Hi De Hi. She’d make us clean our teeth for an extra minute as we had the chocolate.
Then we would go up to bed and she made up the most wonderful stories to make us go to sleep to.
Good days.
That was "Spike", played by Jeffrey Holland. Still going strong 🙂
Another one of my favourite comedies as a kid. I loved him as Ted ,brilliant chatacter and script. RIP Paul
this brings back so many memories of when tv was great
Great childhood memories watching Hi De Hi
Ted Bovis
Thank you Paul 😊
I loved Paul Shane in Hi De Hi and you rang me lord. He was also in Emerdale for a short while as well
Used to love Hi Di Hi, one of my favourites. Always reminded me of holidays to Butlins lol..🤣
The show had a great cast including Paul, I bet there's not many left now...🙂👍🏻👍🏻
Hi dear hi is one of my favourite programmes and I still watch it now on gold I love it
You do pick and find good people, Paul, much better than your competitors. I wondered if you have considered doing tombs and effigies of the nobility of the medieval period, great aesthetics and interesting people with royal connections and historic stories of note. There must be quite a lot around the south of England. Paul Shane is comedy acting nobility!
Thank you Stephen, I’m sure I’ll look into one day
@@UnusualThings1 hi can u visit the grave of then wrestling legend George hackenschmidt
That interests me xx
Rip Paul , a legend . Grew up watching Hi de Hi and you rang m’lord
A wonderful talent and a genuinely lovely man. He was a big part of the Hi-de-Hi family. God bless you Mr Shane ❤ 😊
Love Hi-de-hi, reminds me of summer holidays spent at Pontins, Camber Sands. I always wanted to work as an entertainer in a holiday camp, sadly too old for it now.....or am I 🤔😃
You're never too old
Pontins is not good now. I have a caravan very near it.
Hi de hi was full of great character's...Paul played a wonderful part in Ted. R.i.p
Hi Paul, this was great, it was close to home for me, I live in a town called Mexborough, about 8 miles from that cemetery! Paul Shane was obviously well known around my town, and I knew him quite well on a personal basis. I used to watch him perform as a comedian/singer in my local Working Mens Clubs back in the late 70’ and 80’s, he did this even after finding his tv fame! One of his daughters used to work in a bakery and cake shop in Mexborough and she knew my sister! Paul was in a pub business partnership with an ex professional footballer who was also from Mexborough! He would frequent the pubs on a regular basis to lend support to his partner, he was never unapproachable, he always gave people the time of day, never refusing to sign the odd autograph or to talk football, him being a Sheffield Wednesday supporter! I last saw him back in 2012 a few months before his sad death. It was at Doncaster Royal Infirmary after I’d broken my wrist, he was sat in a on site cafe with one of his daughters, he looked very unwell at the time and had lost a lot of weight! However he remained cheerful and still had the courtesy to chat to me! RIP
Hiya Graham, was the football player Brian Marwood
@@paulguise698 no, it was a player called Geoff Salmons ex Sheffield United, Leicester and Stoke!
loved him in YOU RANG M'LORD a versatile actor sadly missed 😢
I absolutely loved watching Hi-de-hi it was absolutely hilarious and also I absolutely loved singing along with him extremely funny man!! Miss him dearly extremely shocked when I heard of his untimely passing xx
A very fitting tribute Paul, well done sir 👍👍I loved and still love hi Di hi. They could not have picked any one better to play Ted Bovis. A TV legend Rip George thank you 🙏❤️
Paul Shane was perfect for Hi de Hi, him & Simon Cadell absolutely nailed it. Also made a perfect Dingle in Emmerdale, was much under used as a shady/sinister character, watch his performance in A Touch Of Frost, it's terrific 👍
I thought I'd seen all of them, which episode was it if you Don't mind me asking.
@@markrowley2739 In The Public Interest. 2008. S014E03 He plays a shady bloke living on a narrow boat.
@@stepheng8779 Thank you, very much appreciated 👍
My dad and family where all born and bred in Sheffield and one of my uncles was a dead ringer for Paul Shane so we loved watching Paul and the immense presence that went with him, a true original whose likes will never grace our screens again
Many thanks as always and have a great weekend
I'm an old railwayman and really enjoyed Paul's character in Oh!! Doctor Beeching- pure class.
I miss him so much. He brought so much happiness in our lives. Paul Shane was one of
us close knit pals there will never be anyone like him.
Hi Paul, I loved watching Hi de Hi & Paul Shane as Ted Bovis what a character they couldn't have got anyone better for that part in my eyes . The little poem at the bottom of the headstone brought a tear to my eye . Once again you brought back some fond memories cheers Paul take it easy 👉 x
he was such a funny man, and I so remember Hi di Hi, LoL, such an enjoyable grave visit Paul, thank you.
I knew Paul I worked with his daughter & I nursed his wife. Lovely man lovely family. Sadly missed he passed away in the same place as my dad just a year later. RIP Paul. Thanks for the laughs. 😅❤
Hi Paul you beat me to George's grave by a week lol I'm in Yorkshire next week , English Graves have said one day we will probably all end up at the same gravesite, keep up the good work, onwards and upwards, take care Paul
Hi Paul, thank you… yeh I was there two weeks ago and just got around to putting it out.
Ha ha yeh I’m sure the three of us will all end up at a random one, one day… and all see each other 😄😄🙌🙌 yes likewise, keep up the good work and all the best 🙏🙏
Saw him in Hidehi in Bournemouth, summer of 1983. Great guy.
Loved Paul’s character in hi de hi , another comedy classic legend sadly missed.
I had the pleasure of meeting Paul in the mid nineties. He was staying in the same hotel as I was in London whilst he was appearing on stage. He was a true gentleman. He entertained the group I was with in the bar with his stories and impressions. Always had time for everyone.
Really like him in Hi de hi can’t wait to watch this one
A fantastic chap . I still watch Hi Hi today, I remember watching hi hi with mom & dad in the 80s
Oh I loved hidi hi and you rang my lord. You know your getting old when your childhood stars pass away! 😪❤️
The man was a legend, loved Ted Bovis and all the funny storylines, he was brilliant, and I loved Oh Dr Beeching as well, just funny down to earth slapstick humour, loved it all 👍👍
Thank you for being ever respectful and keeping those who passed alive in our minds
It never ceases to sadden me just how many of our entertainers have passed away without my actually being aware and Paul Shane is another. TV shows come and go and often their stars drop from the public radar for a few years until they hopefully crop up in a new show so it’s easy to forget and then something like your great videos makes you realise that the reason they have not been seen on TV for a while is that they had actually passed away. It brings it home just how quickly any of us can be forgotten once we’ve passed away but thankfully their are people like you Paul and the British Music Hall Society that do their best to keep the names and talents of our wonderful entertainers alive. As always, keep up the good work!
Thank you Mark 🙏
Many memories of him as was luck to spend times with him and the cast on set as my mother was in many of the shows.
Paul as always thank you for yet another excellent tribute video to another great comedic acting legend and singer, Paul Shane (George Frederick Speight). As Ted Bovis in Hi De Hi, the station master in oh Doctor Beeching with the same cast members from both Hi De Hi and you rang me lord??. The golden age of television, so truly grateful to have lived through it to be able to appreciate fully what we are now undoubtedly without on the television and radio anymore. R.I.P. Paul Shane ( George Frederick Speight). Will you be doing the grave of one half of the chuckle brothers fame, Paul also from Rotherham.
The pebble mill performance was unforgettable 🤣 I do revisit in on UA-cam if I want a good laugh 😉 baby BABY🤣🤣
Loved this episode I'm about 2 miles away and will be cremated there one day, East Herringthorpe is in Rotherham, no need to say near sheffield lol. keep em comin traveller
Just fantastic Paul. Brings back memories for me sitting with mum and dad and Alison watching Hi De Hi
Fantastic comedic actor Paul shane,hi-de-hi was and still is a great show with a great cast and great writing.keep up the good work.
I just loved Paul Shane especially in hi de hi keep them coming Paul love watching your program xxx
Lovely video of a man I admire always makes me laugh. I met Geoffrey Hollands 2019 for two days. He played Spike. I asked him about Hi de hi. He talked about Paul and was an true admirer himself. It was a magic moment for me. It was connection to a program I love.
Mate keep this up, best channel I have found in a long time, you have found your Niche! Making people realise a headstone has entire life underneath it!
Your delivery is second to none,!
Thanks for sharing. Such nice tributes to well loved people 👍
Found the channel today and haven’t stopped watching all day looking forward to more
Another great one sorely missed,takes me back to my teens in the 80's watching hi-de-hi. Rip Paul Shane.
I had met Paul Shane. I was having a coffee with a friend of mine who owns a sandwich shop in Crewe and I said to my friend I think that is Paul Shane across the road. She said that it was not him. So I chanced it and shouted hi de hi. He turned around and came across the road and it was him. He had a cup of tea with us. There was no heirs or graces with him. May he rest in peace
Loved Hi-De-Hi, Paul was a great character in it. I did wonder if Peggy ever made it to yellow coat 🤣 Thank you Paul ❤️
Yes she did get her yellow coat on the very last episode they made 🥰 x
Thanks for doing what you do Paul Your presentation is sympathetic and informative it is appreciated.
Thank you Paul. Loved watching, he was so good in "hi de hi", made us laugh, and that's what we need in this world xxxx
Waiting for the start, i think i know 😃 i Will like It.
So ill Say eccellent as Always 👍🇮🇹
Another great comedian really enjoyed watching this episode thank you for sharing 👍👍
Seen Paul years ago at East Midlands airport , he was very grumpy x
Yeah he had a reputation of being a knob
@@josephallington6838 a couple of people tried to talk to him and he was very rude to them . Xx
Shocked
Miss Gers : There is an old adage isn't there "Never meet your heroes" . Many moons ago An ITV camera crew's van broke down and I knew of one of the mechanics who went to repair it. They got chatting to the cameramen over a cup of tea while they got the van repaired and of course they got talking about what it must be like working alongside some well known celebrities (albeit from the other side of the lens as it were) One lad asked "What's Hughie Green like?" (Anyone remember him? Opportunity Knocks and all that, the bloke that turned out to be Paula Yates's REAL daddy) The reply came back "Oh THAT nasty tempered bastard!" If you have ever seen that biopic of Green ''Most Sincerely' starring Trevor Eve you'll know what he meant.
@@missgers1690 When I met him, after seeing him in a play....he was ok. Some people forget that these people are only human, they have bad days like everyone else, they also have private lives......depends how people approach them and when. Perhaps he had had a flight delay, felt unwell, or had bad news. Who knows!
👋 Paul, you are the best loved Paul Shane in everything he was on great actor and comedian. May he rest in peace 🙏😇❤️🌹
You said it yourself, Paul: "what a funny man!" I loved watching Hi-De-Hi! back in the day, so funny and Paul Shane was perfectly cast as Ted Bovis. R.I.P Paul Shane. 🕯
What a great show HI-DI-HI was, l am old enough to remember those holiday camps l was a youngster then 😄but it really captured that time, some of the acts were not great but they went out there and had a go at entertaining you what more could you want, well done again nice to see you are able to go farther afield looking forward to more of the same.
Loved him in hi-de-hi ,really funny guy
Thanks Paul
Remember his sat at bar in pastures lodge , nice bloke
I can't wait for this Paul. Im sure 100% it will be an amazing video
Such a massive part of my childhood. Bloody legend mate 👍🏻
Aww great memories Hi de hi was a great family show the best of British comedy 🎭
Loved Paul Shane,a really genuine,nice man,very funny man, fabulous in hi de hi,thanks Paul,as usual you showed respect, stay safe,take care ❤️😊xxxx
He was a great entertainer, a natural comic. Loved him in Hi de Hi but equally in You Rang Mi Lord and Dr. Beeching. Thank goodness we are able to see him on film. Thank you for the laughs. You are missed.
Hi Paul you produce very interesting vlogs and always enjoy watching them . A big thumbs up from me... Have a nice day mate !
Love that you trouble to find such much loved, much missed people who gave us so much pleasure over the years….
I didn’t know Shane had been a singer, just as I never knew”Compo” aka Bill Owen had been a songwriter writer, and wrote a hit song for Cliff Richard, “Marianne” back in the 60’s. So much interesting facets you manage to dig out. .72 was no age, and I’m so sorry he passed after so much surgery etc, bless him. Paul…you do make me smile, when your walking round and then stop to massage your chin beard, I just know your going to say “ I fink I’ve found it!” Brilliant…your a great character Paul, and feel like a friend we have known years each time we see your cheerful face! Many,many thanks. Stay safe on the roads! Love and hugs! Helen 🙋♀️👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻💕😘☕️xx
If you're ever in the Hereford/Monmouth area, Noele Gordon's grave is in Ross on Wye, and Charles Rolls grave is just outside Monmouth. I think Jake Thackray is buried between Monmouth and Hereford too. Victor Spinetti passed away in Monnow Vale hospital in Monmouth, but I've never been able to find out where he was buried (although there is a Spinetti grave in Llanfoist cemetery in Abergavenny, I'm guessing it's his parents grave, so maybe he's there somewhere)
Never knew Paul Shane was his stage name but absolutely loved watching Hi De Hi as a kid.
Thanks Paul for another great video 😊😊..
I used to love watching HI-DE-HI
Lovely tranquil looking place. I love Hi Di Hi & You Rang M’Lord and Oh Doctor Beeching.
Thanks for that evocative tribute to a star of Hi-De-Hi.

Loved Hi De Hi and you rang me Lord - Great comedy actor and do still watch Hi De Hi on UK Gold. Great Video Paul
i like your videos paul and i like the dignety and respect the way you show them thank you
Paul & his family lived across the road from an old mate of mine in Dalton Brook ,a little village of mostly Pit Houses ,they were much loved and Paul was often seen out & about ,sometimes in the Ale houses near his home .There was a Miners Welfare club that was always packed ,a pub called The Grapes was between the Miners club & a Working Men"s Club ,within 300 yards or so . Some good night outs were had in them before the Pits & Steelworks disappeared . As Paul appeared on the screen was just like his own smiley self in real life ! . A life well lived .
He’s got such an amazing gravestone, it’s sooo beautiful
Another amazing tribute Paul thank you again 👍👌
Thank you for this. I was a huge hi de hi fan as a kid. RIP Paul Shane

I loved Hi-de -Hi Just fun.When things were simpler and life - easier for the time it was broadcast.Ruth Maddock ans Sue Pollard and gang.- A joy .Nice one Paul. RIP Ted Bovis
Paul Shane always made me laugh in Hi-de-Hi.I think that has to be one of the nicest headstones I've seen.

In all honesty cannot say I was a huge fan.....I never had the pleasure of watching him in Hi di hi........however there is a certain sadness in that these big stars are now gone forever........a golden age of comedy ......
Rest in peace Paul Shane 😇😇😇 and lovely headstone and flowers too!!
Always wanted to visit the grave of Nick Drake but never managed to so far. Unfortunately Paul Shane will always be remembered for that performance of you've lost that loving feeling.
What marvelous work you do finding these last resting places . Well done & so tactfully done to .
Literally within the last hour I've made a breakthrough in the family tree and joked about Hi de Hi and this pops up on my youtube suggestions!
I loved Hi-De-Hi! And seen Paul Shanr in a summer variety show in 2010 where he wore a Maplin's yellowcoat and sang a few songs.
