It is so scary. When a kid you grow up with these actors on your TV set & suddenly they are old and pass away! Life is very short. 😢

Starting with Ronnie Corbett in early 2016, the last seven years has been like watching my childhood memories disappear in front of me.😟

I found Michael Gambon when he starred in an English-language version of Maigret. He is such a treat to watch.

Bloody hell! I never knew we lost that many! Brigitte Forsyth was a shocker.

Here in the US, I recognize some of these actors, but most of all, David McCallum. Loved him in The Man from UNCLE and NCIS. Ducky was the best character in that show

Mike Yarwood was massive back in the 70's and early 80's...big viewing figures with his impressions!

Lovely tribute. I watch almost all British TV shows via Britbox here in America. I discovered Paul O'Grady two years ago from his show about dogs from Battersea Dog and Cat Home and instantly fell in love with him. I was incredibly gutted by his passing, His like is rare indeed. He spent his life helping people and animals.

I hadn't realised just how many of our film and TV favourites had passed away in the past 12 months. Thanks for invoking some lovely memories.

To me Michael Parkinson dying was very sad I went to some of his shows at the BBC . He was the best talk show host on television. Rest in peace.

We lost the best when we Lost Paul O’Grady 😢😢😢

It is so sad to think that all those stars had passed away in 2023. I can remember quite a few. Was so sad when John motson passed away, he was one of the best football commentators we ever had. RIP to all those stars that sadly passed away in 2023

It's so full of nostalgia and flashbacks to endless hours of entertainment, laughter and joy that all these stars gave us over the years. I'm filled with sadness of the happy kind and most of you will know what I mean. When we watch something like this, we think of our own time here on earth and all the wonderful experiences as well as the tragedies and anxieties that we must all face. But one thing I believe with as much conviction as anyone can possible have, is that there is never an "end". It is just a doorway to the next thing - whatever it may be. Our memories, experiences, pains, loves, thoughts and actions are all perfectly preserved in the eternal library of consciousness. There are no whys or hows in the infinite - just more additions to the endless circle of life. May they all rest in peace.

A sad walk down memory lane. Many fine British stars remembered.

I was fine until Paul O'Grady appeared and then I lost it. I cannot explain why his death hit me so hard but it certainly did. You have produced a very good tribute piece to all these talented performers and I thank you for it.❤

Nice tribute, RIP to all gone but not forgotten

Thank you for this tribute! The older one gets, the more people vanish into thin air. May they all R.I.P.

Beautifully presented, thanks for sharing this respectful tribute.

This is an excellent ‘in memoriam’ video to those that have sadly passed. The presentation and narration is perfect, a very fine tribute. Thank you for taking the time to make this tribute and sharing. All the very best to you and yours.

Some really memorable people going last year. Ones that I grew up with. Micael Parkinson. David McCallum. Lilly Savage. Glenda Jackson hit hard. She was such a consummate actress. I know we all have to go but always sad to hear of their passing. Normally I don't recognise a lot of the people shown on the screen as passing but I knew a lot of these actors. RIP all of them. Thanks for sharing.

Sylvia Syms was beautiful.

Dale Meeks was a friend of mine and this brought the sadness of his passing back to me. Will never be forgotten ❤

More and more of the familiar faces from the TV shows of my childhood are passing away.... I feel old.

A very sad but respectful tribute to so many , who were fondly remembered as part of our growing up years.

Paul O'Grady was brilliant with animals, very caring. Was it Ghandi who said a man should be judged by how he is with animals. So true.

I never realised so many people from showbusiness died, when people you watched as a child die, it makes you feel your age.

Always so respectfully presented. It was a very fitting tribute to the many lost stars of 2023.

Len Goodman was a shock! Always liked him in Dancing With the Stars

my elderly mum was in bits when paul o grady passed well put tribute 😢😢

Geat tribute and the narrator was spot on. So good not to hear the robotic dull tones of AI

Not something I would usually say I am looking forward too but you are so calm and respectful I am with this, sad as it may be.

I left the UK in 1983, but I remember many of these actors growing up. I didn’t even realize that some of them had passed away. They have left a lasting legacy on film. An expat in Florida.

I was very saddened to learn of the death of Michael Parkinson. I remember the interviews he conducted with Robin Williams...sheer chaos, with an eccentric flair only Robin could provide. They seemed to play off each other so well with Michaels probing questions leading Robin to showcase his fine improvisational skills. Michael Parkinson was an exceptional gentleman.

Thanks for that Stu. 😊 Some of those deaths I had actually not heard about…incredibly sad but for the most part -they made old bones and they are remembered very very fondly. That’s the most anyone can hope for in the end I think. Thanks again.

Oh mate, that was tough one... Thank you for such a measured and respectful tribute. 👏❤️👍

No ads, no AI PC generated voice, a great vid. well produced and well narrated. Whenever an actor I knew well, such as Joss Ackland or Paul O Grady came up I couldn't help being moved by the hours of enjoyment I got from them.

RIP and bless all of these lovely souls. I am particularly devastated at the passing of Tom Wilkinson. He was so brilliant in every role, and my absolute favorite actor. A once in a generation extraordinary talent.

Nice to see you got Dr Who actor Richard Franklin in. I knew him briefly in the early 1980's and when he went to London for his cameo in The Five Doctors (1983) he kindly took an autograph book for me. In one fell swoop, I got Jon Pertwee, Patrick Troughton, Peter Davison, Anthony Ainley (the Master), Nicholas Courtney (Brigadier), Elizabeth Sladen, Carol Anne Ford (Susan) & Janet Fielding (Tegan).RIP Richard.

A brilliant, and very well made tribute to those on stage and screen, who sadly passed in 2023.

I can't believe that I didn't know about Glenda Jackson!

Well presented, nice voice and nice background music!

What a beautiful tribute. Shocked by some we have lost.

Thank you for this tribute stu, all sadly missed.

Thank you for putting this tribute together.

Deep down I'd think Glenda would of hated Tony Blair ,and his new labour she was a very caring person ,all things considered 😢

Very well presented - both sympathetic and professional. Brought back many happy memories of those programmes. Thanks Stu and happy new year.

Thank you. Tom Wilkinsons death was a shock when I saw it in the news. He was wonderful in all the characters he portrayed. I will miss him.

Sad times. Thanks for this very respectful tribute.

Very nicely done, although I personally wish you’d included Benjamin Zephaniah. Although primarily known as a poet he was an actor having appeared in Peaky Blinders. Paul O’Grady and Len Goodman broke me though. Both lost too soon, especially Paul who could and should have had at least another 20 years left. I watched a similar video about American stars we lost last year and yours was a million times better and more respectful. Thank you x

I didn’t realise we had lost so many stage and screen icons. Particularly sad about George Alaghiah, David McCallum, Michael Parkinson and Paul O’Grady. A lovely tribute.

May all these beautiful people RIP, they brought so many joyful memories to many….💐

Bridget Forsyth deserves more coverage. She was a marvellous actress.

Great tribute. Although I am in New Zealand I still recognised most of them.

Whenever I watch tribute videos of those no longer with us, especially those who I watched as a young girl, it makes me think about life and what we should prioritse. "The flower that once has blown, forever dies". Lest we not forget.

A fitting tribute to some fabulous people. May they all RIP.

Respectfully presented and a beautiful tribute to a plethora of talent - remembering too some of our stars that ( am I allowed to say … ) would likely not have had their passing mentioned on mainstream TV. Thanks Stu

Some I did not realise had passed. Strange really a piece of me died with them. Bittersweet memories

Brilliant ! A fitting tribute to all that featured. Well done

Of all of them, I wish I'd have known Parky. His interviews with Dame Edna are incomparable. 😢💕

Thank you for posting this. Over here in Canada, while we do broadcast Brit shows like Coronation Street, we mostly see American memorial videos that only mention actors who were big in American films. Parkinson was always a riot to watch. A forerunner for Graham Norton. (Both of which I was only able to watch via vids on KZfaq. Would be amazing to watch Parkinson on TV in his heyday.)

Lovely tribute to all those who sadly moved on...makes me sentimental and appreciate what we have now....cherish the moment.

Mike yarwood was everywhere when I was a kid, but his death hardly went noticed, and alot of people I know had never heard of him. Sad😢

This is the best tribute to all these famous and adorable people. I was very fortunate to go and see Paul Ogrady's grave and I feel so privileged to have been there. Rip to all these wonderful people.

Paul o Grady was a very gentile man unlike his alter ego LILY savage his love foranimals endeared him to many more fans I personally loved him as Paul o Grady

That's it, I'm definitely retiring. Life's too short!

What an amazing tribute to all the stars of stage and screen featured here,i know of them all but whati never worked out was that ducky in NCIS was in danielle and steele! Thankyou stu and much love to all their familys this year

Wonderful tribute! Thank you for uploading it

So so sad seeing all these beautiful people who were great actors who gave us joy throughout their careers. The end seems such sorrow to us all and especially to their family and friends. We only knew them on the screen but to have known them would have been beautiful. Goodbye dear friends parting is such sweet sorrow. RIP. 😢

Lovely tribute.

Some shocks here, but, sad as it is, I'm grateful to them for being in my childhood then into my adulthood. Nicely presented thank you 🙏

Thank you for this - lost it a couple of times, especially seeing the two wonderful ladies from The Likely Lads - happy memories of the 70's.

Every year, so sad. In particular to me, Paul O Grady, Parky, Mike Yarwood, George Armstrong, Richard Franklin, David Kernan and I can't believe Haydn Gwynne passed. She was utter quality. And everyone else to be fair. All in their own way parts of my childhood and life. Thank you all of you. Heart breaking the lot of them. RIP.

Yes, as everyone else is saying, lovely video tribute. The music goes very well with it too, thanks 🙂

I had no idea that Steve Halliwell had passed away. This is the most upsetting one to me since I am currently watching all his earliest episodes. How very sad. May he and all the others rest in peace

I’ve always said, this channel is such a fantastic window in to our past, yet always touches me with a tinge of melancholy. One minute I was playing knock down ginger, scrumping for apples and playing conkers, I blinked and am now 55. Where did the time go? Love your channel Stu, happy new year to you and yours Sir. 🙏🏾

Yep I was the same coping ok with sadness and loss of so many but the reminder of Paul's passing hit me the most he was such lovely man. Thank you for putting the

That was a most thorough and well presented piece. Thank you for sharing it with us ❤

Very sincere and meaningful. Thank you so much. 😊

I remember most of them as I'm of an age as they say.

Heartbreaking when you see the talent that we have lost. I wish they could live forever & in the future, many will watch them & remember how good they were, how they made us laugh, cry & appreciate them. RIP. All of them….

Goodness had not realised George Alagiah had passed away. How sad, he really was a very personable man.

What a beautiful and respectful tribute video. Heartbreaking to see how many wonderful actors, actresses and presenters we've lost in just one year! More heartbreaking was the age of some of them. So sad. The one that hit me most was Michael Gambon. Thank you for a really lovely tribute ❤️

I just watched Brigitte Forsyth and Anita Carey as sisters in the Likely Lads a couple of weeks ago!

I was shocked about Haydn Gwynn, she was also in Peak Practice [ as was Sylvia Simms as Isabel deGines in the earlier seasons ] as Dr Joanna Graham for 2 seasons, I also remember Bridget [ Forsyth ] being in Playing the Field too. We lost so many talented people may they all RIP :( PS You forgot Annabeth Giles whom also died this year of a Brain Tumour at 64 she was.

Terribly sad to see Peter Vaughan-Clarke died. 'Stephen' was one of my very first TV loves :(

Very sad, but very respectfully made.

Very nicely done - thank you. And it's particularly pleasing to see that the word 'actress' hasn't been banned yet! 😁

Thank you for a very respectful tribute. Music…good choices.

Just wanted to say very well made video, thanks.

Loved Tom Wilkinson SHOCKED LOVED HIM IN THE BEST MARIGOLD HOTEL XXXXX

Thank you. Thoughtful video.

Thank you for mentioning my favourite actor and musician, David McCallum! He also wrote a book "Once A Crooked Man". I'm glad I got to meet him in Atlanta Ga, in '76 and '78 after 2 plays he performed in at the Peachtree Playhouse. He was a kind and warm man! RIP, David.

Thank you so much for this tribute to some brilliant British stars. This video was full of people I knew well on the TV in my youth. It was pretty sad those great names from a simpler time are gone. Thanks again for some brilliant memories.

So sad when you lose anybody in the home and our wounderfull actors and sport stars but all there talent kept the the world going gone but ever forgotten plus’s out wounderfull Queen last year

Respectfully excellent.

Too many great actors and actresses have left us

Some I'd forgotten, some I sort of remembered, and some I never even realised they were dead.

And the new year starts off with another loss, Glynis Johns (1923-2024).

These are valuable records - excellent work.

Thank you so much. They are certainly a big miss. It's so good to be reminded somehow.

I am absolutely worry I know all of them ! And i am French ! Feel so sad ! They give me a lot of joy ! English are best actors
