When I was at primary-school I was told by a teacher I had a 'Sid James laugh' - I was soooooooo proud and happy !. Now at 62 I STILL get the same compliment !
I still watch my dvd box set of bless this house, and have all the carry on films. I have even my 8 year old nephew watching it. Our Sid will live on forever
R.I.P Sid James. You are still so much loved and still so much missed. I was only 3 when you left us. But seeing your awesome Carry On films made my young life and still till today so much better Double entendres and cheeky glances and smiles. And most of all that brilliant presence. Still making fans today. Long after he left the stage the last time. Thanks for the laughs Sid. You keep us Rolling in the Isles. Chriss from London UK
Having seen Sid James in many series on TV the memory of him will live on until I join him sometime in the distant future now I have turned 80 years of age.
How lovely to see Sid and so many of the other familiar faces of people equally as talented and very much missed from an era when entertainers really were entertainers we shall never see their like again the world get a little bit sadder with each one we lose. I am so glad I grew up at a time I could enjoy watching and laughing with them.
💕 Absolutely loved Sid James. Think I had a bit of a crush. I grew up in the 1970s and adored watching the Carry On Films. So sad that snowflakes of today are sooooo offended by them.
I used to watch this TV series as my family went out to see it when they made a movie out of the TV series called Bless This House as it starred Sidney James as he used to be on the Carry On movies now as I am dedicating this movie and the whole TV series to my old school friends who are both sisters as I hope to see them both again very soon to Chris and Hester from Billyxxxxx
We’ve gone from character actors like this to the vacuous Ant & Dec. Think it also says a lot about the decline in public intelligence that they are actually very popular.
@@memorialled_zeppelin-warew1346 He was really close with scottish comedian Stanley Baxter as they were life long friends. But agree he could be a nightmare to get on with 😎👍
@@gerryd7027 ..... Oh now I remember that name.from.Kenneths documentary I saw years ago. I think Kenneth was so worried that people.would make something of his homosexuality. And it drove him to be the very private and often obnoxious man he was. These days he'd probably be better natured. Shane really emense talent in a actor. With so much mental anguish. Still a damn good actor
@@memorialled_zeppelin-warew1346 totally agree 👍Pity he had an either love him or hate him attitude and most people hated him. He was a very defensive character in real life always after the recognition of his parents. I thought the guy was great hope he is RIP. 😎🤘
I think because he never changed even if he was older, he still looked the same. I was just choking with laughter at the scene in the boxing ring. Had to rewind it! I think for me, it was those kinds of things that made me laugh most about him.
I loved the Carry On films as a child, I still do. I can watch them again and again. Sid James is a bit of a hero for me, even though he died before I was born.
If you look into his actual life, then you should stop hero worshipping him. He was a thoroughly nasty man and a wife beater. There are much better heroes out there to have.
That's the thing with wonderful classic performers like Sid James. His work never gets old. He's still gaining fans. I was 3 when he passed. And I'm a London native. I still love to watch the great old Carry On Films. Classic comedy never ages.
it was very important. in the times prior to common home recording machines, being able to watch and absorb as many details of programs as possible was a much admired ability. For anyone who had missed the popular shows the night previous, I would happily act out the main parts for them over recess. good times. :)
when l was at school l told my head missus and said sid james was a comedy of all time and jokes where very funny and makes people laughing love in SOUTH AFRICA where his was born
To me is one of the most British of men yet he was born in South Africa but truly a British Legend, Goss with all this reality crap and soaps we could use a Sid James now

Yes we all need another like Sid James. Unfortunately they'd sensor him so much it wouldn't be anywhere near as fun. But he'd probably be trying his hardest to break all the rules. And boy we would be having so much fun.
@@CricketEngland yeppp and if you look at his acting ability in the roles he played second to none he took carry on roles as he was a gambler and it meant steady money rather than being an out of work actor

Don’t tell me I bet your a fan of such (unfunny) comedy as Hale and Pace or Smack the Pony That’s probably your level if humour seeing you think like you do!
@King Royal and if HHH was rubbish as you so foolishly believe how come It lasted for seven years and over a hundred episodes in its radio form, and, from 1956, ran concurrently with an equally successful BBC television series with the same name.
@King Royal well regardless of that he was very popular on radio and Tv at the time getting thousands of listeners/viewers Trouble is today no one remember him or many of the old comedians anymore

Sid James would most likely be in prison today for some of the things he did. If you think that's being a "snowflake" then you probably need to seriously think about your life.

Sidney James was Definitely a man he did what he wanted and was himself in everything a legend a man you could relate to. I can imagine him being a real family man even though that seems a contradiction to how he could be he needed his roots
Susan Cleary that was simply beautiful about your dear father Susan and Sid . My father sadly got killed whilst in the Israeli Navy forces when I was 5 . I am now a junior doctor, he would be proud of me . I will say Kaddish for your father & add a one for Sid too from us both 🙏🏻✌🏻😀✡️✝️☦️🕎

Even 45 years after his death I still love the Genius of Sid James.
He is unforgetable
Well he can't defend himself can he.they could say something shit about you when you're dead.
He was a big gambler and famous whisky drinker and did the carry on films to pay off his debts

As a lasting legacy to Sid James have a monument of him. What a tribute that would be to the great Sid James

I do love a contiguous laugh🤣
Loved His Work!!, True Legend!!, Thanks for All The Great Laughs & Memories Mate , RIP 🙏👍🙏👍🇦🇺
Sid was a legend! Really enjoyed this.
Sid was phenomenal in the movie Joe Macbeth, where he played Banky (based on Banquo from the Shakespeare play).
sad how many of those shown and talking either much older or long since passed including the dog track
In todays sad times this would be offensive but not to me. Im used to this and grew up in those times.
I had the pleasure of watching sid and wonderful sort. In these days he would be cancelled rip sid

scary thought
I so enjoyed Sid James in the Carry On Film's
There's nothing wrong with a bit of sexism especially if one give as good as they get 😉🤣🇬🇧🌏
Some men can turn their hand to anything, I reckon Sid James could have turned his hand to anything in show business.
He did. A very versatile actor.
