This is gold, a real star, the world doesn't create people like this anymore. Look at today's "stars", they lack character and mystique.
I remember the day I got a call whilst working at a garage in Wimbledon. The voice on the other end of the phone asked about getting his car booked in for a service. I thought for maybe two seconds, and asked if it was David Essex. It was indeed. He came in the following day. Of course I already knew him, and was a great fan. I was into racing bikes at the time too, so we had a great chat. He was indeed a very nice laid back bloke to be with. That was one of many interactions I had with David. A laid back genuine bloke. Nothing like a lot of the so called stars ✨ of nowadays. Thank you so much for sharing this video. 👍
A very lovely relaxing speaking voice...
Everyone should read his autobiographies they’re so funny and interesting Xx loved him since I was thirteen awesome singer and beautiful eyes 👀 too
Just watched that ll be the day in sept 2021 still a great film great actor n singer David
My favourite of his is " A Winters Tale " love to listen to it during in build up to Christmas,...indoors on a frosty cold winters night , drinking an hot chocolate....its a great song with real sentiment and feeling
Beautiful guy , still very handsome 💕
"My friend and I used to go on these adventures to Soho when I was about 13." That line conjures up a multitude of images of London life at that time. David is a poet and a "cool" Londoner in the best sense - he embodies the romance of London for me. I saw him in the opening night of "Evita" and was taken aback at the headline "A Star is Born" in the Evening Standard the following day referring to Elaine Paige. He downplays his formal education. Plainly he has educated himself. I always loved him - one of the few people in showbiz I'd have liked to have known.
I was in “ mutiny “ with David for a year and a half ...I played “ john Millward ....great show great memories.....we got on very well
I was there for the "first night" ,the actual first night was cancelled and I was lucky enough to have a second night ticket which turned out to be the "first night" I still think of it, I had travelled from Ireland to be there, great performances all round, thanks for the memories.
One of the first hit musicals I went to as a kid, I was 6 years old!
And still have the merch. My dad still ha the cast recording as well.
I remember hearing/seeing the song: "Tahiti" before seeing the show + met David Essex, Sinitta, Frank Finlay. etc
Still got program will you sign it for me??
David was my guilty pleasure but I was a real kind of hippy chic so I couldn't admit I had crush on David Essex loved his dress sense beautiful face & voice I was much younger than David. Sparkly eyes 👀 I really wasn't a screaming type to swoon over celeb so was my secret 🤣😍
The legend David Essex ! ❤️
DE is a beautiful man
💥Very interesting interview, learned a lot of things about David I didn't know.
Intrigued to have seen those later film projects materialise.
Have seen Silver Dream many time. Love the film.
One of my faves.
great - thanks for sharing colin!
My pleasure!
He is best known as a pop icon and teen idol, but he was also a creative and innovative artist; who wasn't afraid to try new things; his songs were very distinctive and original, completely unlike anything we had heard before in the 1970S. The movie Silver Dream Racer was not a commercial success and some of the acting is a bit stilted, but it is very much "of its time" and nowadays provides a nice nostalgia trip into the 1970s (you can almost smell the Old Spice and Brut 33!) He is a motorcycle enthusiast, but he appears to be stretching the truth by claiming that he rode himself in all of the scenes except a couple ridden by a professional racer (Roger Marshall.) In fact it was the other way round, Marshall rode in all the scenes except a couple of close-up shots with David riding. My recollection of David Essex at his peak of fame (during my schooldays) was that all the girls wanted to have him, and all the guys wanted to be him. Many boys (myself included) even sought to imitate his style by having their left ear pierced. Undoubtedly it was his looks, coupled with an easy-going cool persona, that catapulted him into the limelight and brought him his fame and success, but he was also in many ways a unique, enigmatic and intriguing artist.
I wonder what happened to his accent? He is rather well-spoken in the footage from this era, but his "regional" accent has become much stronger in the interviews in recent years. Why is that?
Ha, the interviewer is hilarious.....lower eton schooled? David is fab and so relaxed, cause he'd been in the business for ages by then.
The answer is no. It must be your ear that's 'thinking' that!
12:57. Ooh look ! It's 'Aaaaroold Steptoe !
Bloody hell Stevie Riks can time travel!
What on earth is he doing behind a desk? That's Adam Faith's job.

Thank you for sending me to that. The video could have been filmed where I spent my childhood in Ireland. We even had a border collie. Watching, to David singing was special. He is Heathcliff.
Such a cutie. Poor guy had to look at that scary person lol
Silver dream racer was a crap film that was poorly received.
Crap is subjective.
Games of thrones is true crap.
The photography and soundtrack of silver dream was NOT crap.
Maybe too you.
And what does poorly received mean anyway.
It's a wonderful life was poorly received. So what?
thanks for your insight. No doubt anything made before last week, is not fashionable enough for you. So many dicks like you, that come out with shit, even though you probably liked at the time. Sheep following turd.
Not a crap film, but could have been a better story. It certainly had potential, also had a black man in a starring role which was rare in them days.
No it wasn't a crap film and it did reasonably well at the box office get your facts right before posting
@@mrglitch0 Before it became compulsory to keep the Wokies quit.
