To be honest, bill tarmey set the bar so high with his portrayal of jack that corrie hasnt been the same since he and the other actors of his generation left. Rip.
Yep the Mike baldwins Alfie Roberts. Coronation Street was better no crazy story lines like murders or train crashes.
@@chucky2316 they didn't need to they had talent and the Charisma to carry the characters parts through, and it was more like real life back then in the soaps .
I remember watching an interview in the 90s where Bill Tarmey said something along the lines of "I don't kid myself, if I left, no-one would remember. Coronation Street would be exactly the same". Now here we are 25 odd years later, and people are literally still visting his grave to pay their respects. What a legend.
I loved it when he called Vera, “my little swamp duck!” I have to confess I shed more than a tear when they both died, on TV and in real life. RIP Jack & Vera. (Bill Tarmey & Elizabeth Dawn)
I remember seeing bill tarmey he opened cousins furniture store in Dudley with Liz dawn who played his wife Vera my mom had a photo with Liz it's still on my hall way wall and I remember my brother shaking hands with bill and saying all the best bill he said that's our kid they were both fantastic thanks for this Paul 👍
Looking forward to Bill Tarmeys tribute.
Still miss Jack and Vera .
They were brilliant value as a double act 🎬
I’m not a massive soap fan either but Jack and Vera were an institution . A representation of a true couple in love , constantly bickering but adored each other . When the characters passed away it was handled with perfection by Coronation Street . Watching this video prompted me to re- watch the scenes . 👍🏻
Haven’t watched Corrie for years but Jack Duckworth was my favourite character when I did watch it.
Haven't watched Corrie in years, but back in the day when it had Jack and Vera, Hilda and Stan and many others, that is when it was watchable. All these years later, I'm just finding out his real name. Where have I been? LOL 🙄 Thanks for this video 😊
Same here!!!!!
Couldn't agree more. The golden age of soap opera was great and Jack's passing had me crying. Loved all the old characters and never watch soaps anymore.
Coronation Street in the 90's with Jack and Vera just reminds me going to my grans house in the evening . It was always on the television when I went to visit
Another famous person we all grew up with, now sadly gone. Himself and Vera were Coronation Street gold, along with Stan and Hilda. May they all rest in peace now ❤
My mum misses all the old characters.Thankyou for showing bills resting place.
I loved him as jack in coronation Street bless him thank you Paul ❤️❤️
Still one of my favourite Corrie moments when Vera came back for him.......Great goodbye to 2 of the most charismatic characters in the soap.
Bill Tarmey, Liz Dawn, Jean Alexander and Bernard Youens; mention any of these names and one immediately thinks of Coronation Street. Being a Northerner, I used to watch 'Constipation Street', as we affectionately called it, avidly when I was a child. Each brought realism, with their constant bickering and their own sense of humour to the show; those were the days when Corrie was worth watching. Sadly, all have now passed and are very much missed.
Very interesting about Bill’s life. Took years for Jacks glasses to be repaired in Corrie.
However I am intrigued about the reference to his Dad which I will have to research.
Thanks for this ❤️
i don't watch soaps anymore, but have seen Jack and Veras antics over the years and they were hilarious xx thanks Paul.
Jack an vera the king an queen of coronation street both were epic thanks paul lovely tribute it wud have been wonderful to have had them both as neighbours they made the street real thanks again paul jst so lovely 👍🙌👍
I loved the Vera and jack scene's in coronation Street great actors and double act i loved them. William Roach played ken Barlow. May bill Tarmey rest in peace 🙏😇♥️🌹
Miss bill and liz on Corrie the best duo by far in a soap❤️
Brilliant actor he and Vera were just brilliant together good and interesting as usual paul look forward to the nextone
In case you are wondering (As I did!) 'His stage name of Bill Tarmey came from appearing at a club in Stockport where the manager insisted that Bill Piddington was too long to go on a poster. He had wanted to give him the surname of the singer Mel Tormé, but misspelled it as Tarmey.' Funny how these things work out!
Jack Duckworth, aka Vince St.Clair, the Wetherfield romeo! What a storyline that was! Jack & V played a blinder & I fell out of my chair laughing!
Not forgetting Stan & Hilda, great tv viewings back then.. Coronation street will live on forever xx

It was the only time when soaps were worth the watching. No violence or nastiness just plain old-fashioned amusement!
Hi Paul, loved Jack and vera, their arguments were legendary. Nice to see his headstone still nice and shiny.
Rip great actor will be truly missed good performance as Jack in coronation street

Thankyou Paul this man was a lovely man in coronation street and a good singer him and Vera were like an aunt and uncle that everybody had 😊
Looking forward to this Paul , such a brilliant actor and sadly missed x
One of the best scenes in Corrie when I used to watch it was when vera served up jack one of his pigeons for his tea. She hated those birds🤣
@@cliffbutler9820 🍻 😎 💚 🕊
Awe, find memories of watching "Jack & Vera " on Corrie. A true testimony to Bill & Liz's acting skills. We still miss them today and oh, Jack's glasses......😘
Can't believe it's been 10 years already! Thanks Paul. Another great vid! 👍🏻
northern working mens club singer to corrie ,im down the road fron this cemetery and ive been to see his head stone ,great fellow and salt of the earth being a northerner .
Like yourself Paul I grew up watching him playing Jack Duckworth on Corry. Jack and Vera soaps legendary couple. Great vid, thanks mate.
Hi Paul I'm glade you show at first what the person your going to show his resting place how he or she was in their life or career. Thanks for sharing.👋😎✌️
Fantastic memories of my childhood watching Coro with my Nan and grandad , They are all gone and they are sadly deeply missed , Rest in peace and May Petulant Light shine on them 🥰
He was a brilliant actor and singer, loved him in Corrie. Jack was one of my favorites. RIP Bill💖💖💖🙏🙏
l loved watching bill in corry haven't watched it for few years now but jack and vera give us so many hours of great entertainment on corry over the years he wasn't a bad singer either you braved the wet weather paul good on you.
Brilliant actor,loved him as jack in coronation street,a true gentleman,thanks Paul, excellent as usual,shown as always with respect,stay safe xxxx❤️😊
Very nice cemetery.. I love jack use tape up glasses !!!
A very good actor
God I loved jack I literally broke my heart when he died on corrie😭 what a lovely man bill was 😢rip to absolute legend thank u Paul 🙏🏻💙❤️
Jack Duckworth was one on my all time favourite characters on the Street. The sticky tape on his glasses was just genius. Maybe it would’ve been nice to see his stage name on his headstone, but regardless of that he’ll always make me smile when I think of him. He was a legend and far better than any of the rubbish that is now seen in Corrie.( I dont watch it anymore, it’s lost it’s way )
I still love Jack Duckworth, been watching him on itv2 he just makes me laugh still to this day, his leaving storyline was so gd copying Vera's death I cried for them both 😢 💔
RIP Jack you are sadly missed by us all xxx.. Thanks Paul enjoyed it as always
Bill Tarmey was a great actor. Once he left the show, the light went out.
It’s grim up norf lol great work Paul
Jack and Vera where so true to life and what I really loved was that despite years of arguing and Jack always trying to be the lady's man they loved each other immensely.
Thank you Bill and Liz for all the laughter and tears.
Thank you Paul once again for your dignity and respect
Rest in peace Bill 😇😇 we loved jack in coronation street and vera too!! We miss you jack and Vera!!!
Wow there are some seriously Grand Headstones in this resting place! RIP Bill Tarmey
Bill Tarmey was brill in Coronation Street and loved him with his screen wife Vera. When he was in trouble with Vera he used to call her my little turtle dove lol
I felt for you walking in the rain but got to say another great video Paul. Such respect given x
🍻 😎 🕊 🕊
Absolutely loved Bill in corrie alongside Liz Dawn its not been the same since. Loved his singing too ❤ cant believe its 10 years though 💔
Great insight. My late friend Emma and I met Bill in Ashton ASDA and got a photo. Unfortunately I no longer have that photo like my friend. Only memories
Another Great Short Vid.
Bill was a great actor, Made for the role of Jack in Corrie. R.i.P Bill. 🙏
The sunshine and humour left Coronation Street after Jack and Vera left. Bill was perfectly cast for Jack. R.i.p
Only knew him through coronation Street but seen other things he had done and was an awesome singer
Think everyone loved Jack and Vera great video xxx
Loved Jack and Vera in Coronation Street,brilliant actor RIP Bill 🙏🌹Nice one Paul 👍
Thank you Paul for Another interesting Video. 💥
ANOTHER GREAT ACTOR PAUL
WHO COULD FORGET HIM PLAYING JACK IN CORONATION STREET

Grew up watching him on Coronation Street. RIP Bill 🙏🕊️🌄
Such a shame that anyone who knew him as a great actor and of course a good singer has no mention of his stage name.. I would've never found him if I had been looking... so thank you Paul.. you found him xx lovely show you put up as well.. love watching them all xxx
This guy was a legend also Vera wonderful lady both great together sad they went may there’s gentle sole rip
thanks again paul for another great show,jack duckworth was coronation street his character will live forever watching the classic coronation street episodes today, shows that the sad loss of william tarmey/jack duckworth but still a great pleasure to watch a fine actor at work loved and missed by millions R.I.P william tarmey/jack duckworth
A other great video Paul.. really enjoy your videos, best in the Uk for graves & info on them 👌 ps wasn’t that wet, wait till you hit Scotland on your travels lol 😉🏴
Thank you 😊 loved watching him as Jack in Coronation Street xx
I loved the episode when Vera came back for jack it bought tears to my eyes he got up and Vera said hey your coat were off to black pool and he got up and left himself behind I can imagine that liz dawn ie Vera prob came back and got him and they up there having a chat god bless his soul
I feel that I have to add to these comments. I photographed Bill a number of times during my works as a photographer and found him very pleasant to work with.
That’s great to hear thank you Colin.
Didn’t know he was dead ☠️ ten years! What a great character and a great double act with Vera Duckworth .You have to do Dennis Waterman and George Cole RIP superstars of British television of the 1970s and 1980s. John Thaw wouldn’t be a idea on the 20th anniversary of his death 💀
Didn’t even know he had died 😮😢
Or just slipped my mind being 10 years ago.
Good video Paul, bit wet there ☔️
Looking forward to the winter videos 😀
Hi Paul, Bill was amazing as Jack in corrie forever in trouble with Vera (sorry mentioning my dad again ) but just like him always in the bad books 🤣 . I was shocked to learn that he had a stroke but wow he recovered from it well & glad he did . Cheers Paul for another great watch take it easy 👉 🙂
WOW didn’t know that Bill Tarmey wasn’t his real name .. Forever Jack ,thanks Paul x
Yet another amazing video Paul..always respectful and full of interesting memories of the ones we loved..looking forward to your next..
I remember Bill in love thy neighbour its was one of his earliest tv appearances he played alongside Rudolf walker and the other 2 characters very funny show for it time back in the 70s.
I can always tell when you’re up north Paul….the weather, I live just outside Manchester and my friend down south cant believe how green our grass is, well we have plenty of rain. Once again, another lovely video, always done so respectively and I think it is so important that these people are remembered, keep the videos coming Paul.
My dad had a bit of a soft spot for jack, I think he reminded him of himself☺️ he looked like him a bit too.
He was a fantastic actor! Great tribute, Rip bill 💙
Jack and Vera were the ultimate double act. They brought fun to Corination street. Rest 8n everlasting peace to you and Liz Dawn
There are some amazing looking graves there. I especially liked the one at 5:41 that looked like a castle from a chess set. That one definitely needs investigation. Fascinating stuff. In the words of Morrissey..."All those people all those lives where are they now?"
Another gravestone had a masonic compass.
Thanks for another respectfully done video.
Great video Paul. Lovely well kept cemetery. I've never seen one with so many black marble (?) Grave markers. Many are slate or granite down here in Cornwall. Keep the vids coming
A brilliant actor who is still so missed but it’s so nice when they are mentioned in Corrie Vera and Jack they were true to their acting a fantastic couple RIP Jack ❤️
Incredible actor,used to watch him as a kid along with Vera, they made a perfect pair. Nice to see a drop of rain too after all this hot weather 😊 love your videos Paul !
He was a nice man
Well done Paul very respectful as usual ! You are a nice guy too !
Another great video, respectful as always, thanks Paul 🙏 x
great video Paul RIP Bill Tarmeys
Lovley touching video. Enjoyed watching it, lovley man. Look forward to seeing your next one Paul.!. Xxx
Oh i can't tell you how much i loved Jack & Vera in Corrie, i watch it still and they are still often mentioned in the soap. Thank you Paul for remembering him, rip Bill, you brilliant fella. I have been diagnosed recently with moderate sleep apnoea and use a cpap machine when sleeping. Xx
Belo vídeo obrigado gosto muito de assistir seus vídeos
Morning Paul , your looking good as usual x
❤ the introduction Paul looking forward to the next video 🙂 👍
Another brilliant video Paul. Beanies aren't waterproof haha. Corrie fans will remember his prop glasses that had a bit of tape holding the lens in. Brilliant bit of comedy to his character.
Thoroughly enjoy watching your videos, loved hearing about Bill he was a great in Coronation St. 👍👍
What a sad loss x
Thank you Paul for another interesting and informative video. I love Corrie and miss seeing the Duckworths. xx
Fantastic mate .. can't believe it was that long ago.. only feels like it was a couple of years back that he passed .. awesome job as always Paul 👏
I've never watched an episode of Corrie in my life. This was very informative. Credit to Bill Tarmey for managing to act when he was in such poor health.
My mum grew up watching Corrie from the beginning he was a brilliant actor also he was a good singer back in the day r.I,p bill❤️❤️
Looking forward to seeing this one
Loved him in corrie ❤ thank u for the videos good content has always
One of my favourite videos you've made. He was one of the best characters in soap history, unlike the characters who now walk in his footsteps.
Thanks, Paul lovely video as always, A big Corrie fan for years Bill Tarmey aka Jack Duckworth what a massive character he was with his ever suffering wife Vera. Sadly missed the soap does not have BIG characters like Bill any more but great fun memories of him in the show. Not to forget what a lovely singing voice Bill had I have a couple of his CDs he had a really nice easy listening voice a lovely legacy left behind R.I.P. Bill
Thankyou Paul for what you do and thankyou for sharing
