A sad ending? What a load of crap. He was 88, had a successful career lots of children and grandchildren and a long marriage. Best Sargeant Major ever
How exactly is this a sad ending? He was working up until he was 74 and died rich and famous surrounded by his large loving family?
exactly . Nothing sad about his end , just sad hes not around anymore.
Quite so, not a bad innings really. He died adored.
Simple, click bait.... I loved him in "never the twain" eleven seasons which is an incredible success
My mum and dad loved him! They met him a couple of times in their local supermarket, he was a happy man. My parents always said he was lovely to talk too, his voice was so deep, almost musical to listen too!
Agreed .. I met this wonderful man in NZ .. brilliant man .. not sad ending …
There is NOTHING sad about the lives, or their ending, of 90% of the people you do a brief video synopsis of. Your entitled click bait is an insult to the intelligence of every single viewer.
Yeah I agree. This videos are great and cover a lot of lost great actors but why is it named so badly?? Not all of them had sad endings.
can't even pronounce them right anyway
I agree, Windsor Davies was and always be SSeargent Major Williams. With a music program Magix I made a cool old-school house/rap with his voice as Seargent Major. Thank you Windsor for the laughter and serieus emotional scenes you played. Thank you laddie.
@@whitevader007 laddie? You mean boyo surely. Yachy da Windsor
I absolutely love this wonderful great man. He stayed at my parents hotel in Snowdonia 1983 hill walking and had a blast with my mum and dad over drinks and next day he invited me to join him for a cooked breakfast, I was 10 and asked him all about his acting and he was so funny with his great stories. Then before he left i joined him in shopping in our village as people came out to wave at him and get autographs it is one of the best memories of my childhood. I’ve still got his autograph with ‘great time with mum and dad your a lovely boy!’ We need more gems like Windsor in the World! 😊❤️✌️
That's a lovely story 😊
That's such a great childhood memory 💚💚💚
Just a polite notice to the people who run this channel!! Maybe it's worth changing the titals to life and ending rather than sad ending. It's quite insulting to these great actors 🤔
Totally agree
I’m not happy either, he loved life and was proud of his family.
I was born in 74. South East England. You have no idea how much of an impact and inspiration Windsor Davies was to me and today nearly 48 the love I felt for him and his craft feels no less today than it did over 40 years ago. Just wanted to share that.
So funny how the narrator pronounced The Daleks as Daylicks 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Make me laugh as well
Not just that. Staffordshire is apparently Stafford-shi-ear. Rather than Stafford-sheer.
@@ruzza4074 The americans are clueless
@@Lord_Hillcrest Damn right they are. No wonder we are the best at war. ua-cam.com/video/_x2ovlPr2IE/v-deo.html
Clearly not a Whovian. Windsor Davies on the other hand was a great actor.
It feels like you are just reading from Wikipedia windsor davies appears to have had a long and happy life and lived to a good age.
Hardly a "sad ending". Obviously click-bait title.
Windsor Davies had a great life and career. He died aged 88. He married in 1957 to the love of his life and they stayed together until her death in 2018, Windsor passed away four months later. They had retired to the South of France. The narrator needs to stick to American stuff as he can't pronounce English words or has any clue who Windsor Davis was.
Sounds like he had a good innings.
The narrator should be "Sent up the Jungle"; dreadful pronunciations and vocal delivery! As to a sad ending ,as others have said its "click bait" .
If you're going to do a documentary/obituary of a British actor for (presumably) a British audience, please check you pronunciation. Windsor's surname is 'Dave-iss' not Dave-ees', as you say it.
Also, Cheltenham, is not pronounced 'Chelten Ham' , more like 'Chelt num'.
I won't bother with correcting the other howling errors of English pronunciation in this piece. Too many to go through.
Love and peace.
Nothing sad about this wonderful man’s life!
You mean we are sad because he died? Of course, but not a sad ending for Windsor, Don Estelle on the other hand was ignored by the Brits in his last years. Windsor Davis is the *only actor* i ever wanted to meet in person. Love from Kerala, India 🇮🇳❤
Who writes this crap?? The guy is reading like he’s never heard of Windsor Davies 🤣
Load of shit on here, windsor davies was a great actor who gave people a lot of pleasure, RIP
In Australia many years ago, actors playing police did not wear full rank insignia, possibly the TV studios might have thought stolen uniforms could be misused, Now! have you noticed, that on his "uniform' as the BSM the only thing showing was a campaign ribbon probably earned because of his time in the military ,but no rank insignia , Was this anything to do with him never holding that rank? Today no one would expect to see anyone playing a roll without the full uniform, was there some disquiet about the military believing that anyone playing a roll like that should not wear stripes they never earned, I am not sure how many people will take this seriously but there must have been a reason why stripes and a Crown were not displayed.
Redo this entire commentary - this time after researching the pronunciation.
Really bad.
'It Ain't half hot mum' that was broadcasted here in the Netherlands in the mid-seventies, has always been, and remained, one of my favorite series!
He lived in South West of France, in Quercy. South of France is generally used for the Côte d'Azur,
Great actor ,
Terrible pronunciation and phrasing, the commentator seems to be reading a script he doesn't understand about someone he doesn't know anything about.
Sssshhhhhuuuuutttttttt. Uuuuuuuupppppppp. !!!!!!!!!
Can't correctly pronounce the locations and titles. No sad ending for Windsor Davis. - you would be better off sticking to something you fully understand
Well it's nice to have the info but I wish the narrator could pronounce *any* of the place names he's saying.
DARLIKZ, but I do like to call Tardis, turdis...
It’s so cute when yanks try and pronounce British place names
Click bait.
Windsor Davies died 17 January 2019, at age 88, just a few months after his wife died . After a long and successful career.
His estate was valued at £880,000+
Can't even pronounce the name of one of the UK's greatest comedy actors.
and that's only 10 seconds in!
As mentioned he had a great life and family up until a good old age.
As for Nantymoel, most pronounce it as nanty mole, and Bangor as in Bang gore.
Not a sad ending other than his death. Not exactly a Benny Hill or Terry Thomas type of tragedy.
He lived a full life loved a great woman had children and grandchildren then peacefully died an old man. Where is the sad part of this story because I don’t see it
The only thing sad is the narrator. Seriously the guy should apply for the part of Marvin the android.
I'm old....(oh God, I'm old). Late seventies friends and I grew up on English comedy programs. No drugs, no alcohol, just English comedy, pizza Pepsi and friends. What wonderful memories. Girls would come later.....much later....even had a couple of Sprites, one for racing. We love England, Scotland, Ireland for the brilliant minds they produced greatly enriching what we enjoyed on TV back then. My now ex-wife usually missed many of my jokes, but laughed because others laughed. Always had a dry sense of humor. Feel misplaced at times...played soccer, raced mx(scrambles), Centurion is my favorite tank, always drool over Avro Vulcan pictures....oh yeah, worst of all, I'm addicted to Airfix....the old kits.....can't resist....help....
I’m impressed by your pronunciations of those names.
I’m not …THE elephant and castle, indeed!
@@sallylegg2054 I think he was being sarcastic.
Spike Milligan was of the opinion that Davies' role was "the funniest comic performance he had ever" watched and that is a massive commendation to a man who did not have a sad life or ending
In the early ’90s I saw a copy of Special Beat, an in-house magazine for special constables. Within this particular issue was an article about Windsor Davies. The front cover was a photograph of him in Special Constabulary uniform, wearing the ribbons of the Special Constabulary Faithful Service Medal, and the Cadet Forces Medal.
I can find nothing on line that acknowledges his service either as a special constable or as an instructor in any of the cadet forces, notwithstanding that a minimum of nine year’s service is required for the special constables’ medal, and twelve years for the Cadet Forces Medal! Anyone know anything about this?
He used to drink in the Melbourne pub in Wallington Surrey
Well he was hilarious and worked to his strengths.
I loved Windsor Davies, he and Michael Bates were my favourite of AHHMum
Being read from Wikipedia with a very boring voice and with a few mistakes pronouncing some words. Had the same sad ending as everybody. He stopped breathing.
Lovely boy
I loved his role as Sergeant Major.... in the 70thies... it made me laugh so much.
Day leks 🤣🤣🤣
battery Sgt....
Major
🤣🤣🤣
Legend!. Nuff said!.
Clickbait headline & annoying robot voice. Switching off.
Do the life and sad ending of brad renfro
The East Surreys,first over the top at the battle of the Somme kicking footballs
“That’s it lads,play up,play the game!”
90% casualties
Loved this fella in the carry on films!! Love the way Americans pronounce English places 😂😂😂
Wouldn't be so bad if he made a decent attempt at the Welsh place names. What a cock
The sad part is, they have the state of New Hampshire which they pronounce exactly the same as we pronounce it.
If you are going to have an American presenter, then please insist that he does his research first with regards to the correct pronunciation.
For instance, a Battery Sergeant Major, is a Sergeant Major, in charge of a Battery, which is a Unit of Troops in the Royal Artillery. He is not a Major in charge of a Battery Sergeant.
It is impossible for me to die before I am 75.
Davis not daviz you heathen
Evil of the day-licks?
Wasn't He Colonel Bogey in The March Of the River Kwai?
No he wasn’t
@@eynon82 ok then my mistake.
Loved him
DaR-Lex is how you pronounce it
It's so comical to listen to English people trying to pronounce welsh names and words. I'm welsh myself.
The narrator is American not English? 😂
It is. It’s even “funnier” listening to an American trying to say anything that isn’t American pop culture (DAYLICKS?)
He’s not even English, he’s American which for me makes it more annoying than funny.
*******************NO SAD ENDING HERE*********************
Was also in a few episodes of softly softly task force or z cars I recall.
It’s pronounced Dar lick, and I can read this lads wiki too
Daleks are pronounced "Darr liks".
Never the twain I love that show
Dalek
Dar….lek.
Daaaaar…..lek
If you're going to make a documentary about a British person, the least you could do is to get the pronounciation right. His name was Davies, pronounced Davis. Too may incorrect words to list but pretty disgusting and I expect Windsor Davies is turning in his grave.
According to your logic, everyone has a 'sad ending' because they inevitably die. Are your videos really so sad themselves, that you need to resort to such a tactic to get views? Sad indeed!
Bangor is pronounced as "Ban-gor".
Is the obviously bad pronunciation deliberate ?
Sick "Clickbait" He had a great life... This is NOT how you get people to "Subscribe" to your channel...
Try the truth ..It goes a lot further in the long run... Just saying!
I don't understand why his life had a sad ending. At least no more than anyone else's. Also, try watching at least one episode or film of Dr Who, before you mispronounce Daleks. They're reshowing the Peter Cushing films, this year, in cinemas you know.
Dayleks ?
Davees?? his name is DAvIs...FFS America.
It just doesn't work with an American narrating
I would’ve enjoyed this without the usual American mispronunciation’s. Surely it’s not beyond the wit of man to check them out?
It is so irritating to listen to the stilted,halting AI voice narrating this piece. It amazes me that we have become so lazy that we can’t be bothered to speak to each other human to human .
What a disgraceful tribute to a wonderful and sucessful actor. Whoever did the voiceover is utterly USELESS and mispronounces most of the words. Get this crap off you tube
Dalicks 😀
….”the Evil of the Day-leks”. Lol! Why is a stuttering American reading out a scrip he cannot pronounce?
Ridiculous title.
Nant y Moel is pronounced "Nantymoyl" 'Windsorrr . . . Davees? 'Chelten . . . Haaam?' 'Stafford . . . Shyerrre?' - And, we do not call them 'Day Leks' either! - I would hate think how he pronounces 'Featherstonehaugh' 'Cholmondeley' and 'Howick' - But he might feel more comfortable with the pronunciation of 'Hawarden' - A small town in North Wales - Home also to 'William Glarrrrd . . . Stone!' (Prime Minister 1809-1898). It is actually pronounced locally as 'Hardon!'
. . . But there again, the Former United States of America has a Total Ban on 'Fishing for Whales on Sundays' in Ohio! - Not many in Lake Eerie - They only surface during Weekdays! Incest is still legal in Rhode Island and New Jersey! - And, there are Lighthouses in Nebraska - A totally 'Landlocked State!'
The American Constitution was so 'Perfect' that it had to be amended 27 Times! . . . And, quite surprisingly 1% of the population is in Prison! - Oh the wonder of Privatisation!
How do they manage without a Health Service? - Quite simple, it's all Privately Insured, and if you have NO Insurance and HAVE TO PAY CASH you will become Bankrupt! - Land of the Fee and Home of the Slaves!
As George Carlin said "You have to be asleep to believe the American Dream!"
And I'll you another thing, lovely boy. They eat's bananas without cutting the ends of!
Just about everything this seppo pronounces is painfully cringe.
Americans saying Staffordshire or Cheltenham 😄😆
only thing sad here is your crap clickbait strapline.
Terrible narration
Americans pronouncing things in actual English is always fun 😅 😉
Not sad! Fake
FFS YANK A.I. voiceover lazy dissrespectful
Precious friend, choose to walk the road of righeousness with Jesus Christ. In Jesus’s Sermon on the Mount (Matthew 5-7), the Lord told His listeners, “Enter through the narrow gate. For wide is the gate and broad is the road that leads to destruction, and many enter through it. But small is the gate and narrow the road that leads to life, and only a few find it” (7 : 13-14).
On our journey through life, we face many choices about which road to travel. Many pathways seem promising and attractive but only ONE is the pathway of life. Jesus calls us to travel the road of discipleship and obedience to God’s Word-to follow Him instead of the crowd. As we ponder the road ahead, may Yahweh (God) give us wisdom and courage to follow His way-the road of life. It will make all the difference for us and those we love!
Dear one, exit the broad road of destruction and sin THIS VERY MOMENT and enter the road of righteousness, which leads directly to Jesus Christ by first acknowledging that you are a sinner in need of our Savior. Confess with your mouth and believe in your heart that Jesus Christ is Lord of your life. Welcome Yeshua (Jesus Christ) into your life. Receive grace by believing in Jesus Christ and what He did on the cross, His death, burial and resurrection for the sins of all mankind. You will then be justified in salvation and blessed abundantly with love. Your life will be forever changed!
Please take comfort in praying the following prayer with me.....Dear Lord Jesus, as we go through this day, give us eyes to see the narrow road that leads to life and the courage to follow it. Be a source of light in our life and allow that light to shine through us and into the lives of others. This we pray in Your Mighty name, Amen! May God bless you in the Glorious name of Jesus Christ our Lord and our Savior.❤️❤️❤️
Well its all sad for us coz we all fckin die in the end!!
Staff-ford-shire and Cheltingham?????
You (t)wat
Can't stand the the the murdering of the English language, loved Windsor Davis though.
