I worked with Arthur on the 1987 Christmas Special of "In Sickness And In Health",(Series 3 Episode 7), when I played one of the Junior Doctors, he was a fine fellow Actor, great to work with, and a lovely man, very friendly, and chatty, I very much enjoyed this Production that you have put together, remembering Arthur, and thank you for a wonderful tribute to one of our stars of the stage and screen for so many years. One of many great Actors I have been privileged to work with in almost 50 years in the industry, who sadly are no longer with us, and it was nice to see the clip of Arthur with Jack Wild who I also knew, as he was a fellow pupil of my Stage School, This brought back lots of fond memories, and so I Loved it.♥
That's really interesting! Thanks for sharing :)
That's really interesting, thanks for this 😊
All gone but not forgotten may god's grace bless you all 🙏
A real memorable character
I occasionally use an Arthur English line from Are You Being Served? "I'm glad I don't have your nerve in my tooth!" He will always be remembered.
If you couldn't see him,you know it's Arthur!! That distinctive voice!! I saw him on an episode of The Sweeny not so long ago!! Class actor!!❤ .
I nice gentle tribute to a much loved actor and personality.
Thanks, nice one :)
what a lovely person.. you can tell he was loved.
Yes so true!
Arthur always came across as such a kind and lovely man . Thank you for helping to keep the memories alive Mark .
Absolutely! Thanks david
Met Arthur once, he asked me directions, a lovely chap.
That's great, was this around Aldershot?
Very nicely done, I loved him on "Are You Being Served" all the way over in the US....still watch Episodes today on UA-cam!
That's great!!
he was always on telly in the 70s and 80s
Yes in lots of stuff
I met Arthur English when I was a young press photographer in Barrow in Furness. He was with his young wife Teresa. I worked for the local newspaper and I took a set of pictures in the nearby town of Dalton in Dalton Castle. I have absolutely no idea why he and Teresa were there (lost in the mists of time) but I remember him as a very nice chap and eager to help me get the photos I needed.

That's great Philip, thanks for sharing
My sister (Annette) in the 70s was crowned Miss Aldershot at the princess hall and after this win she started hanging around some show biz circles and it brought her into friendship with Arthur.( I might be wrong but he may of given her the winners award ,unsure though!! .
I was only about 10 years old during this time when eventually I met the man himself. A most charming gentle character .. never met him again but I always remember our meet . Real good video .. well done 😊
Thanks for sharing Dave! Real good to hear
A very touching and respectful tribute to a really good man. When I was growing up Arthur was always on TV, a stalwart of British entertainment, a friend in fact. Sadly we don't seem to produce such characters who have an impact and whom you will never forget anymore. most modern ones come and go and are simply forgotten.
Nice one mate
I couldn't agree more! A very touching and respectful tribute to a brilliant personality

Good on you mate
This came up on my feed, and I truly enjoyed it.
Nice one mate
Loved this mark! Really Nicely done 👍 He was a great personality.
Thanks mate, glad you enjoyed it
I just did some IMDb research on him, and it’s amazing how he worked continually till very late in life. One of the most surprising roles he did was in a 1985 episode of Magnum P.I. called ‘dejavu’. Given the nature of his career, based otherwise entirely in English TV with the occasional English movie, I’d love to know how he got the role, and I’d love to see the episode, or at least a clip featuring him in it. Amazon prime features most of Magnum PI series for sale, but sadly not the series or episode featuring Arthur English.
Thanks for the info! I did find abit about this I just couldn't download the clip on Vimeo. It's the double episode magnum comes to London, and Arthur is a newspaper seller, I think he is in the scene for about a minute
Excellent video 🎉
Thanks for the visit
The original wide boy spiv with a kipper tie

:) greetings to you mate 🍻
Mr . Harmon was much loved in America too .
Interesting stuff!
He also did an episode of Magnum P.I. playing opposite Tom Selleck.
Great thanks
You are welcome
I'm going to channel my grandmother bleeding hell there is a name out of my childhood. Keep up the good work let as many young people know about these old real star's. Never say RIP Energy cannot be created or destroyed it only changes shape Thomas Edison every thing he was he still is just somewhere else.
Good one you mate
Aah i loved arthur english 😊
So sad that these fine English Actors are not with us anymore. True Masters of their craft and they only got a mere fraction of what these overpaid merchants get today and they seem to think that they are some kind of God that must be Worshiped.
👏👏so true
Longest sentence ever. Lol. A lovely video. Thank you
Glad you enjoyed it, your welcome
A lovely tribute 👍
☺️👍
I only remember Arthur in Are You Being Served as I was a kid growing up in the 70’s
I suppose I was ‘lucky’ enough to live through great entertainment on the BBC when they were at the top of their game
One of a few of the greats of that time
❤️❤️🏴🏴👍 😍😍😃
☺️
This was really interesting, i thoughly enjoyed all the way through
Next you can make a video on the life of Arthur French!
Lovely pictures of old Aldershot! We used to see Arthur in his white Jag V12 Coupe with his young wife back in the old days. His brother had a garage in Brighton Road too.
Back in the day! Where was the garage do you know mate
@@MarkMahoney Turning left off Church Lane East into Brighton Road there was a shop on the right hand side (now 2 houses) on the bend that takes you down to Gillian Avenue, the garage was behind the shop. Blokes wore those brown overalls. The daily trek to Heron Wood from the West End!
Brilliant stuff, the good old days! I know Brighton road I used to walk down their to work
hope you and yours are having a nice christmas ,keep the vlogs coming ,i love them
Thanks Mark! Greetings to you!
