A truly incredible biography of a man who was such a familiar face for many years, but always in, dare I say it, secondary roles. When I read the title I assumed, I'm sorry to say, he went off the rails and we'd lost him. But quite the contrary, he's found himself and is enjoying life in the best way possible, helping others. Daniel, if you're checking back for comments on this, well done sir, you've entertained us and still doing so for a smaller but no less appreciative audience. Full marks mate.
Nice one mate
Agreed 🤔👍😂 keep well Daniel 🇬🇧💯😘✌️💪😁😅😂👍🎬😎🤩😍
My dad has dementia and I understand how horrible the disease is. I take my hat off to Daniel for helping those suffering
Preach!!
Great character actor…..thanks Daniel ❤
What a great documentary, wasn't expecting that ending. Remember seeing Daniel on TV all the time when I was young. Excellent. Thanks.
👍👍
What a wonderful video. Daniel is clearly one of those rare types of human beings. Superb actor and writer and I imagine an even greater care giver. I doff my cap to him.
Nice one mate
Always was a pleasure to see him on the TV whatever role he played. My funniest memory was seeing him in the Do It All advert and my friend’s big brother was a spitting image of him. His nickname was Do It All Dave, because of that ad and his resemblance to Daniel Peacock
Do it all Dave 👍👍🤣
Daniel peacock is one of british comedys legends he has been is so many shows over the years i dont think he gets the credit he really deserves
Yes so underated
I'm, 50 years old and I've always known his face but knew practically nothing about him. This was fascinating. Watching this was just great. What a wonderful bloke.
Nice one mate
Astonishing ending. Thanks very much for shining a light on Daniel, Mark.
👍👍
Never got to meet Daniel, but knew his work (was a big fan of Comic Strip). I did have the honour of knowing his dad; as a customer of mine when I was a cabbie and then afterwards when I worked in the care home where his dad lived. Spent a bit of time sitting and looking through his albums, a lovely man sadly missed.
It's such an honourable thing that Daniels doing now, working in a care home.
That's great to hear thanks mate
A great actor and someone you always remember on tv as a kid.
Party Party is a forgotten gem :-) always loved Daniel.
"I always pull a bird when I wear my aftershave"
"But you never pull a bird"
"Gimme a chance, I only just got my aftershave!"
"Do you smell 'orses?" ;¬)
@@BrayTube I remember seeing "Party Party" in the cinema. I always liked Daniel Peacock but I'd never made (the rather obvious) connection with his dad.
@@BrayTube yeah, wild stallion !
The outside scenes in party party were filmed very close to where I lived as a kid, it became a bit of a local shrine to the movie for us 😆
I'm a fast flash passenger
Bless Ur heart Daniel...if Ur reading this..I've known u on TV all my life, all my life .Ur a legend and won't be forgotten sir..Ur shows are loved. Huge respects to you. And lots of British love.
Nice one mate
I don't know which is more impressive; his amazing career or the fact he went to work in a care home! What a top bloke and someone I always enjoyed watching on screen.
Daniel Peacock bought so much laughter to me growing up in the 80s. Party Party is legendary! So pleased to see he’s found such a wonderful vocation. Deserves a lifetime award.
Forgot all about that film..it's on you tube.
What an amazing story and what a lovely man he is
🤜🤛
Truly one of Britain's best and most hard working 'secret'
He could only have been on screen for about 10 minutes in that episode yet he's remembered as an iconic character for fans of the show. I remember at the time my family and I would say "I do the one, two, three fours!", it became a catch phrase for us.
Yes a very memorable guy
I always looked out for him and considered him one of my favourite TV actors. There is a special place waiting for Daniel in heaven you can mark my words.
Nice one mate
Wow, I wasn’t expecting this at the end. Daniel, if you’re reading this you are a real hero. We were watching The Comic Strip over the weekend so this is really good timing.
A well made documentary, thank you.
Thanks for watching
what a guy! always loved him and love him even more now!
I loved this. Daniel Peacock, you are a giant amongst men!
Daniel always seemed to be in really good programs and films. An excellent actor and SUBERB comedy actor. Never seen him in a bad role. This is a great and very worthwhile biography.
Nice one John
I remember seeing him in a bunch of stuff as a kid. His performance in Only Fools is iconic for me though.
One, two, three, FOUR!!!
Mental Micky 😂😂
“That’s that bunch of wallies!”
@@Paul-sl9zm "I'VE ALREADY TOLD YA TROTTA I DO THE 1,2,3,4S!!!!"
Yess he stole the show
Good man, well done for you helping people. Much love and respect to you sir.
Daniel and his Dad are some of the most recognisable and enjoyable people to cross the screen. His ability with writing for Children was awesome.
It's amazing how much like his dad he looks now. A great pair of actors.
Teenage Health Freak was a class show back in the 90's. His younger brother Harry's pretty good as well in Toast Of London and Star Stories.
Daniel Peacock is a face that has brought joy to countless people in countless roles. A legend for sure. I think that people who dedicate their careers to making people laugh are just so special in another level.
I always enjoy watching Danny on TV, for me he embodies the typical Jack the Lad cockney rogue. Even the commercials (like the old “Do It All” adverts) are good. I always think of him as the front man of the band that Rodney (Only Fools & Horses) was in, angrily reminding everyone that it was his job to do the “one-two-three-fours” before they started playing.
We should all pay it back at some point in our lives. Daniel has obviously made the most of his time on this planet.
Such a lovely man💗
I've always been a fan of Daniel Peacock since I first saw him on screen,thank you for the upload - what a wonderful man & story. 🌞🎥🤩🙌👍
Thanks for sharing mate
That was so touching. What an incredibly talented and charismatic man. I have grown up watching you. I too was born in Hammersmith and lived in Shepherd’s Bush my whole life until last year, when I moved to Devon 😊 I salute you Daniel Peacock, I wish more people had your generosity of spirit. That’s made me miss home a little! Love from a former Bush girl.
Nice one Clare
What a humbling story. I was genuinely emotional at the end. A face from my childhood. Even the Steakhouse burgers and Do it all adverts I remember loving the songs as a kid. Interestingly my mates dad John Metcalfe was the cameraman on the comic strip so he would of worked with Daniel over the years.
To see what he's doing now,. Well done Daniel, you're a top bloke and thanks for this video. Subscribed
Same for me, I went right back to my misspent 80s youth watching this! Comic Strip, The Young Ones, Blackadder, Alas Smith and Jones, Not The 9 O'clock news...and yes the ads too! It's an amazing ending and I got a bit teary as well. What an inspirational man. My heart is warmed.
Thanks for sharing
Glad that Daniel Peacock has got this acknowledgment of his work and contribution to our culture. A good life lived.
I have a lot of respect for his career change. He's a good man.
I used to cut his back lawn in the 90's when he lived in whetstone, he always had time for a chat,lovely fella
Did you ask him about Broadmoor?
I didn't know he had been a patient
@@paultoomer2756 no it's from only fools and horses,
Did he have a big house
Nice one mate thanks for sharing
I came for a touch of nostalgia, I was not expecting to be overcome with admiration. Seeing Daniel's name on a film or TV show in the 80's guaranteed I'd enjoy it. He was just such a watchable actor. His physical presence, twitchy persona and immaculate timing were a real pleasure. There was something of the charisma of Norman Wisdom about him, he could turn a simple line or scenario into a performance all of its own. I never understood why I kept seeing him in supporting roles instead of leads, I was always left wanting to see more of his characters. He could easily have driven a film but he always lit up the screen as a 'fast, flash passenger'. Legend!
Thanks for sharing mate
I can relate to how you were with your dad. I had to get my dad into a care home as he was getting dementia then slowly Alzheimers. He had forgetten everyone except me at the end then he caught bloody Covid and I went on my trip to see him but I couldnt go into the care ome just see himm through the window. That shattered me. The following morning they called me at work and told me he was gone......i remember collapsing at work and a crowd standing over me - it hurts Danny. So sorry mate love and hugs OK.
Nice one mate 🙏
Daniel was such a recognised face for me, growing up in the 80s. It's great to see all the things he was involved with and what he's up to now. Brilliant, thanks for uploading.
Thanks for sharing mate
Oh wow. Massive respect to Daniel. I remember him in the comic strip mostly. Characters he played so well acted. I never knew that was his dad. To do what he is doing now is so commendable. Never knew he wrote so much either. Thank you for this excellent video. I always thought Daniel could play Fred West if they ever made a film.
I remember Daniel in many things but had no idea how diverse his career had been. The Comic strip parts were my main memory of him. I had no idea who his father was and that was a nice surprise. So amazing that he has gone into Care Home Nursing and much respect as my own mother has dementia and my dad has cancer. Both in their early 90s I am lucky to still have them. An amazing career and a great man. So glad I subbed to your channel Mark as you cover people that others perhaps would not.
Nice one nick
Tremendous biography of a lovely and talented man.
:)
Wow...this is amazing. Though I mainly remember him from the Porridge movie and Doctor Who.
🤜🤛
What a Fantastic Actor and a very very humble man.....we need more of his kind and true qualities in the world today and he has earned a great deal of respect and empathy from Me!! This was a great 30 minutes of a well put together Biography and I salute you!
Fascinating, thank you. I've seen him in loads of stuff but never knew his name. I had no idea he was the son of Jim from Vicar of Dibley - as is Harry Peacock.
Same
They did a piece on him on BBC Breakfast not so long ago and he completely blew me away with the personality and happiness he brought to the care home. Its nice to have a job that makes you feel good.
Didnt realise he was a writer too.
Yes I saw that piece, really good
Haven’t even watched this yet but giving it a like cos Danny Peacock is a legend.
A face from my teens ,my 20s 30s 40s and now a face of nostalgia ,Daniel has always been there on tv in films on soaps and in the ads ,i really loved this mini documentary ...one of your best ,did you talk to Daniel or piece together from interviews
big THANK YOU
Thanks mate!! No it was a gathering of a few interviews he did
I have spoken to his daughter:))
I never realised he'd done so much, even though he was a familiar face on the telly when I was growing up. What a great guy.
This should have been a full TV Documentary, Fantastic production, and just so interesting. I would love to see this as a series on TV
along with other performers. Daniel Peacock, What a fantastic career and an Unsung hero.
Wow nice one mate! Thanks for watching
'Party Party.' 'Cavegirl.' I love Daniel Peacock.
Considering Daniel left school without qualifications, he went on to be a very successful actor & writer . Just goes to prove if you have talent and believe in yourself , you don’t necessarily need certificates to do well . He comes across a really lovely man to too, which is nice to know 😊. I thoroughly enjoyed this documentary. Thanks Mark for all the great effort you put in to produce it for us all to enjoy 🙏😊.
It says a lot about him that he's happy to work in a care home with dementia patients. Care home staff deserve to be paid a lot more because the work can be so challenging. Daniel's son set out to be a stand-up comedian many years ago; I wonder how he's getting on?
Thanks Jannie, cheers for sharing your thoughts
Thank you Daniel for your work. As a kid at the time you made an impression on me when you played Mental Mickey in only fools and horses.
Keep up the good work my friend.
Greetings from Gibraltar.
What a marvellous human Daniel is !
Daniel Peacock is tremendous and I absolutely love watching him. Thank you so much for making this video.
👍👍🤜🤛
I only found out his name the other day...
Crazy how little he was focussed on.
Daniel was a constant on big and little screen during my formative years . I always loved his work. Big respect.
Fantastic video, never realised he done so much or who his father was respect
Glad you enjoyed it :)
What a fantastic documentary. I grow up watching Daniel and every time you saw him on the box , I'd point and say " he's good ,he's funny". what great ads as well. Brought tears to my eyes at the end. My dad had dementia as well. Well done. Happiness is better than money.😊
Good one mate
I didn't realize what an amazing and talented man Daniel is . Always remember him on my t.v as a youngster in one part or another, and now I believe he is playing probably the greatest part of his life as a carer . Great video as usual Mark , take care and thank you for sharing with us .
Nice one David! You too mate
Just brilliant. Daniel you are in our memories 😂 take care.
Really distinctive actor with a distinctive voice. I actually met him on a bus once at Brooklands Motor museum. Lovely guy and massive respect for he's doing now and before
Always gives great performances with stand out quality acting.
Always a fan of Daniel's work ... Glad to see he's happy and enjoying life ..
Simply fantastic, respect to you and to Daniel Peacock.
Many thanks!
What a wonderful actor he was always on the TV thankyou for sharing this loved the bit about his Dad ❤️🙏
never knew of him until Only Fools And Horses, What a legend he is, So talented
Holy shit I've thought about this dude a few times and UA-cam popped this out for is ... wicked, i remember only fools and porridge then romancing the stone and that was it , how could you forget romancing the stone from the video ????
I love that you shine a light on these people who burn brightly and briefly in the media, then seem to slip away. Huge, huge respect to Daniel for what he is doing now.
💞
@@MarkMahoney Thank you 🙏😊
@@MarkMahoney mark any chance you can throw my some tips on how to do this?? You make amazing shows.
@@MarkMahoney the research aspect I have a grip on but it's the putting stuff together. , Video clips , music and my narration...
BRIEFLY?
He was always there!
Good to find a post from you pop up Mark and what a brilliant post it is. Daniel is a year older than me I remember seeing him pop up all over the place on the TV especially the ads .. those Steakhouse Grills were really ‘orrible though .. Robin Hood was one of my favourites along with Marleys Ghost. His Dad came as a surprise so was finding out I was still following his work when I watched CBBC with my children. What a talented man and obviously a very caring one, I’ve done the job he is doing now it’s hard work and can be emotionally draining. I’m so glad he’s still got his health and a happy life. Thank you for 26 very enjoyable minutes.
Your welcome! :)
As well as an instantly recognisable face Daniel has a brilliantly unique voice that just really made him a superb character actor. His body movements were so funny especially as Mental Mickey that still has me in stitches when he sings at Del Boy. Its fantastic to see him looking well and I have great admiration for his work in acting and even more so for him caring for people.
His body movements when he's doing the 1,2,3,4s always makes me laugh!
An extraordinary story about an extraordinary man. Huge respect for Daniel
Such an enjoyable watch. Thank you for posting. Loved watching how rich and talented Daniel is, he is a jewel in the UK's crown. what an enjoyable trip down memory lane. 🌞 I watched Mental Mickey in Only Fools And Horses time after time, he was so funny. I've saved this, so I can do a deep dive on other shows he featured in, as he did so much which I missed over the years.
Thanks for watching:)
I work on a mental health ward, working age, and done alot of elderly too. We always say, " that's going in the book!". Its an emotional roller coaster!. 15 years of the wards. Daniel will be getting all the scripts for life every day. Its a hard job to leave, it changes you. Constantly changing character, depending on the situation. Should suit him down to the ground. Great actor.
Thanks for sharing mate
He’s so like his dad, Trevor. Loved him as Mental Mickey in OFAH. There is also another Peacock brother, Harry who’s also very much like his father. Harry and Trevor appeared as father and son in Kingdom.
Interesting biography of a talented man from a talented family.
What a true legend . Proper geezer . Thank you .
very moving, well done Daniel. Once saw him at Manchester airport and we exchanged smiles, as he realized that I recognised him. Enjoyed his work, especially Party party and the comic strip stuff.
Nice one mate
His mental mickey character has me in stitches every time I see it. Never realised he had done so much. Great career tbh, shame he never really got a proper lead role in something big.
Yes real shame
As a child, I grew up with watching Daniel on tv. A great actor, believable in every role. Great guy
Wow Daniel , you were a star in your younger life , now your an even bigger star in later years . Very humbling and thought provoking mini docu , thanks for all the enjoyment youve given us over the years and keep enjoying life to the full
Nice one mate
I remember finishing off a day of filming on the set of Casualty and I offered Daniel a lift, he thanked me but was going to walk.
Lovely chap.
Interesting stuff mate
Finished watching this with a lump in my throat and a tear in my eye. Had always seen him in tv/film roles but had no idea about the latter career. What a fantastic bloke.
Good on you mate
What a lovely man I really enjoyed his biography. Great to hear and see a good male role model.
Nice one josh
I’d seen his face so often on tv growing up and when I saw the thumbnail pic to this video I recognised him and thought I’d check out this video. I’m so glad I did. It brought back so many memories. Thank you 🙏
What an increible, amazing and lovely person he is. I remember as a child seeing him in Finchley in North London and becoming quite excited as I had seen him in OFAH.
Always enjoyed his appearances in various roles (and commercials!) saw him on TV recently and he appeared a really decent human being - working for others in the memory of his father also a great actor (enjoyed him in "Wish me luck" as the resistance leader). Thank you for highlighting him.
Never knew who his dad was but remarkable resemble. Great performance in One foot... fantastic that an actor can take on the work he is now doing with his experience and talent those residents are so lucky!
♡☆
💕
Another great actor/content/watch, what a man, what a face!...Thanks again Mark
Daniel you are one great talent and an even better bloke,so pleased to hear you are doing well and also caring for others,TOP LAD👍👍
Great video. I've always had a bit of thing for Daniel Peacock since I saw him in the first Comic Strip series, way back in the early 80s. Fantastic actor, always genuinely funny. Thanks for highlighting his career and life. I'm glad he's well and happy.
You welcome:)
What a wonderful man.
Well what a fabulous surprise!
I recognised the face in the intro but did not know the name, I can well recall Daniel in several productions on TV and always he stood out as an actor and was in so many productions but it was just a face you had seen before until I saw this brilliant documentary.
What a career! Well done Daniel, and I know your present occupation as I was working the same in the same town a while ago.
Thanks so much for this so well done Daniel and keep up the fabulous work you do!
Great man good actor nice bloke 🎉🎉🎉🎉
What a great documentary, about a guy I have loved seeing pop up and be brilliant in films and TV for pretty much my whole life. Great to hear about Peacock being in a good place in his life! Great work on this documentary...
Nice one mate
What a fascinating film . I remember him well from my youth , being a similar age , an enjoyed The Comic Strip and many others that he appeared in. Respect for what he is doing now .
Nice one mate
Anything that Mr Danny Peacock performs in is a pleasure to watch and for me gives a performance so good that I can't imagine it with any other actor. His character in Party Party saying lines you never forget and I smile upon today just terrific.
Well done and thank you.
So sorry to hear of Daniel's passing, and embarrassed to say I didn't know his name, he was like an old school friend or guy from the neighbourhood that you always see around. He kept popping up here and there, Quadrophenia, the B&Q ad, Fools & Horses, Comic Strip he just popped up all over the place and it was always lovely to see him, he was always the young effervescent guy, he never seemed to get old. I didn't even realise it was him in Vicar of Dibley.
It's nice to know you had a happy life especially at the end.
Thank You Daniel Peacock for you career choice and entertainment you gave.
R.I.P. Daniel, you will always make me smile and always be forever young.
🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
Hi mate he didn't pass still going strong
@@MarkMahoney
Oh sorry Mark I misunderstood, in that case I'm glad he's happy in his life he richly deserves it, he may be interested to know that some of his audience over the years consider him a much loved friend and wish him well in his endeavours and continued happiness. 👍🏾👍🏾❤️
Daniel was/is not only a great character actor but an accomplished writer and director. Would love to meet him - big fan.
why n not write to him bob , they said where he works .
He does do the odd convention along with other only fools characters sometimes. Places like Margate/london
Wow. I had no idea Daniel's father was the No,no,no bloke. (RIP) Growing up, I was a huge fan of the "alternative" comedy scene. Its good to put a name to a face.
And there's me thinking Daniel had retired! A fine actor and a fantastic human being.
A brilliant comedy actor and character actor. Dan is about 3 weeks younger than me so he has always been around. he has played some great parts but the best is happening now." I do the one, two, three, fours!" will forever be his line.
Dan Peacock reminds me of a long-vanished period in the 1970s and 1980s. He is a gifted actor and is always worth watching.
To work in a care home isn't easy, especially bearing in mind his previous job. I speak from personal experience, that particular environment is extremely demanding.
Good luck to him. I wish him well.
That was a superb watch that Mark, enjoyed every second of it, When I think of Daniel Peacock its 2 things, Party Party (which always sticks in my mind, and i never seen it since it first came out) and Mental Mickey, John Sullivan was a Genius and was bang on saying Daniel is the only man for that part, never knew Daniel had done so much, Twice with David Thewlis aswell, Valentine Park and Mental Mickeys band mate, the nationals did do a bit on him a while back on his carehome work, but this was far more informative, good luck to the guy.
Nice one mate
Strange I was only watching an old episode of Only Fools and horses last night in which Daniel stared . I now see this clip on you tube. Amazing. Thank you Daniel for what you have given us as an actor and now as a carer. Still giving to others. God bless you. 🙏
I love how he appeared in the Do It All Advert, and then appeared on a mickey take of that advert on Not The Nine O'Clock News.... A brilliant character actor, what a varied and interesting career and life.
