Loved steptoe and son R.I.P. Harry The best episode I loved in the series is when Harry divided the house into 2 I’ve never laughed so much Thanks 🙏 Harold for the great shows!!!

It never fails to amaze me how unlooked after some of these graves are. So sad.

I am surprised that the great Harry’s gravestone has not been maintained . RIP Harry, genius of British comedy

I still watch steptoe and son now, Still giving laughs so many years on. A fantastic actor, Thank you Harry.

Without doubt one of the greatest British sitcoms ever!! Super funny but somehow sad at the same time 😊 Would be my second all time favourite sitcom, purely brilliant!

Another great video. What amazes me about so many of these is how many of the famous people's graves are neglected and unattended. It's very sad. In this case, the headstone looks over 100 years old. All of these videos remind me of how short and fleeting our lives are.

Unfortunately Harry H Corbett was a victim of type casting probably because of his amazing talent of portraying a character that so many could relate to, stuck in a dreary life by his over bearing dad but when opportunity arose to escape he didn't have the heart to to leave his dad because he loved him so much, such wonderful acting from them both and excellent writing too. Thank you

It's a sad truth but when we pass on a lot of graves are neglected, it always makes me said when I see this , my dad always said " son your a long time dead " he was really serious when he said it and I never forgot his words. RIP Dad x

Seems such a shame when a grave stone isn't looked after, its like nobody cares when the deceased gave so much to others.

I never get tired of watching Harry and Wilfred! Without the Steptoes, there would have been no Only Fools And Horses! Wonderful pathos mixed in with the comedy!

The neglect of his final resting place is a regrettable situation. He was a remarkable person who contributed greatly to his field and society. His memory deserves more respect and recognition from his peers and descendants.

His performance in Steptoe was perfect, the radio versions are well worth listening to also. Thanks Harry

Great show Steptoe & son, isn't it a shame the stone not cleaned for such a man who gave us such great laughs. Thank you Paul.

St Michael the archangel - I think that’s who priests pray to when they exercise evil spirits. I will never forget the episode with Leonard Rossiter who had just escaped from Wormwood Scrubs with an elderly fellow inmate and they decided to break into Steptoe’s yard - They could not have chosen a worse place to seek sanctuary. An absolutely brilliant episode from the 1960’s.

Harry H Corbett was an incredible actor as was Wilfrid Brambell.The Steptoe films were both excellent, sometimes a film from a tv series does not always work but they were both fantastic. In "Steptoe and Son Ride Again" the part were Harold leaves the hospital with a concussion and falls into a crypt in the cemetery, only to emerge with falling bandages like a mummy much to the horror of the vicar who faints. My god that still makes me laugh no matter how many times I have seen it fantastic !!

Comedy gold, the working classes loved this show and Harry was our star.... Rip mate..... Never forgotten.

A comedy show you laughed at till your ribs hurt. Before the woke pc brigade changed TV for ever. Thanks for the laughs Harry . RIP Harry.

I loved and still love Steptoe and Son. I still watch it. Harry H Corbett was brilliant.

My dad made sure I grew up watching Steptoe And Son and I never complained. Absolute classic.

I've been to his grave too. Lovely little Church in Penhurst near Battle. Took me ages to find the church, but I did eventually. I also gave a donation inside the church and wrote in the book of remembrance. Thanks for sharing this mate 👍

I remember the time he died in March 1982, Wilfred Brambell was interviewed on "Nationwide" on BBC One and he was very emotional.

Steptoe and Son really was one of the all-time greats. Shame the headstone has faded so much. thanks for showing up Harry's worn out gravestone.

I went there a few weeks ago its not far from where I live what a great man he was I met him once just before he died, Just remember watching Steptoe and Son when I was growing up Thank you for this video.

He was superb in Carry on Screaming. His acting style was so exquiste, even beside the irresistible femme fatale Fenella Fielding his acting was truly superb.

I loved steptoe and son was a quality programme .. abit before my time but used to watch it with my mum

He was brilliant in Carry on Screaming which is my fav Carry On of all time.. It is so sad when we lose the true British Classic Actors that can never been replaced. Thanks for a great video.

Hello, I was a child of the 1960’s and remember Steptoe and Son really well, I loved every episode, they will always be part of Britains Comedy institution alongside many many others, your video made me sad and reminded me of England in much better times, thank you for showing respect and gratitude toward the likes of Harry, he will remain in our hearts….

Great to see all of these. I was an extra on the episode The Moles Tales of the Unexpected and felt he was very lonely. He kept to himself and smoked one after the other, never realised it was his last performance.

I watched every episode and film of steptoe & son.That headstone looks like it was erected in the 1800's.What a mess and such a shame.Great video again and very informative 👏

So sad the way the grave is dull and neglected for a legend like harry, i love steptoe and son, great job and i enjoyed the video, love halloween, donald was great in it

The combination of Galton & Simpson’s superlative script writing and two excellent comedy actors that resulted in a rare work of TV genius. Steptoe and Son was not just very funny, it could also be sad, and at times even tragic. It was unique. One of the best light comedy series ever produced by the BBC. I never tire of it.

Such a peaceful resting place 💕 Absolutely loved steptoe and son and the movie was hysterical as well pretending that the dad was dead to get the insurance money 😂 Carry on screaming was my favourite as well xx

It's a shame ANY grave should appear like this, a loved and respected grave should always appear bright, colourful (in the sunshine) and loved.

I think you do a really great job of these grave tours. You deliver more respectful details than I’ve heard before, like the Leslie Grantham, poor little Fanny Adams, Fred Fleet and now this one. Thank you

Thank you so much for doing this and being so respectful to such a great man, I just find life so tragic and sad for us all. I was in the post office the other day and this 86 year old man that could hardly walk with his Zimmer frame said: "When will this all end"(he told me his age) Corbett was only 57 when he died, the same age as I am now. I'm just thinking out loud I guess, what is this life all about? I served too and went through some very rough situations and kept saying to myself"If I get out of this situation I'm going to enjoy life to the fullest" and I did, but somehow you can never get that same rush as when your life is constantly at risk it just makes you live for the moment. Now I get stressed if the Chemist is closed and I cant get my heart tablets LOL.

He was such a funny brilliant actor I loved Steptoe and son I grew up watching the series and Carry on Screaming is my favourite Carry on because of him, thanks for doing this video.

Great video of a brilliant actor. Steptoe & Son was a great comedy and very much part of my youth. So sad to see Harry’s gravestone in such a neglected state.

I have too go watch Steptoe and Son. Thank you.

Ahh I loved Steptoe & Son, looking forward to seeing this Paul fantastic 😉

What a lovely man Paul . Thanks for this video. So sad the grave has not been maintained. A real Steptoe and son fan.....THOMAS. God bless them both....R.I.P. 🙏

I’m constantly amazed at how neglected so many of the graves are in these videos. Surely they have families (if not fans) who would be in a position to look after the grave and/or headstone.

I was going to watch Steptoe and Son DVD tonight and came across this. Best Comedians ever. ❤️❤️

I watch this every night before retiring. I love this show. They both worked so well together. My favorite episode was where Albert hurt his back and was in bed for weeks. Harold hiding in the pantry was so funny.

Frankly so sad to see that the Grave of Harry H Corbett so neglected and looking so uncared for as a big fan of Steptoe and Son he was such a brilliant comedy actor so funny too as Harold Steptoe and also I loved the movie spin offs of Steptoe and Son and the follow up movie Steptoe and Son Rides again

Steptoe an son one of my favourite comedy 🤣 TV shows of all time wen I was younger so funny... They dont make these type of programmes anymore R.I.P STEPTOE AN SON 🙏🙏

Thank you for this video! I just watched ''Seance in a Wet Rag and Bone Yard' tonight with a beverage whilst visiting my Dad, he introduced me to Steptoe and Son and watching Harry tonight was a reminder of how brilliant an actor he was.

My favorite part of your videos is when you touch the headstone and thank the person for their work or services because, by a hard-to-explain extension, you are thanking them on my behalf as well. Another fascinating video and yes, Steptoe And Son was a terrific series and I'm glad that I only discovered years after they had both passed that they really didn't get along (to put it mildly).

Like you, I like a walk around a graveyard. I stopped there once on my travels, about 6 years ago. There's almost nothing there at Penhurst, just Gorgeous countryside. So quiet and peaceful.

I can remember watching Steptoe and Son when I was only a young kid in the seventies (in black & white and colour !) They don't make comedies like they used to! - it also showed a lifestyle and way of life that is being forgotten. Cheers Chris (NZ)

I’m new to this channel..but your respectful demeanour and addictive viewing just has me hooked to watching. It really is just a calming ,and interesting to see all the people that were once great stars in their own right..now sadly laid to rest. I used to love steptoe n sons..actually have the whole series on cd. Another great video Paul thankyou.

I met the pair when filming the church scenes forvthe wedding when harold got married to zita. They were polite I chatted with my friend for ages both were dressed dapper we got their autographs. I was only 11 tears old I lost mine years later when I moved from home. But I will always remember how dapper they were.and how posh steptoe spoke. Great duo. Never to be seen again.x

Thanks for the wonderful comedy RIP

Best comedy for me ever, just amazing remember watching in 70s when I was kid, I'm 57 now and got box set, I must have been about 10 but remember waiting to watch them, absolutely brilliant, crazy relationship they had, but thank god, they got together ❤ just fantastic 😀 p s texas chainsaw massacre 73 for me 😁😆👍❤

"the moles" was on fairly recently, RIP harry, you brought much laughter in your programes and him and wilfred brambell were pure comedy.

Very interesting, thank you. my favourite steptoe and son episode, was the one that featured Leonard Rossiter, who played an escaped convict. the chemistry between Corbett and Rossiter was brilliant, & as they were both perfectionists, they brought the best out of one another

Thank you, interesting video. I was shocked by the state of his headstone though. He was such a legend.

Thanks for doing this. I loved Harry in the show. xx

Enjoyed this video immensely, just like you I was a big fan of Steptoe & Son, me and my father (sadly gone now) used to love watching it, don't make comedy like that anymore unfortunately. Thanks for sharing.

Watch many videos of yours this week and if these people were suddenly brought back to life how the graveyard would be packed of fans waiting to meet and have a photo taken. It makes you realise that it the spirit not the body it was in that is so special. Like yourself I am at start of my 50s and you certainly become more aware of how precious life is . We don't all take any notice when younger. Keep doing the videos it's so important to celebrate the lives of those who have past. Maybe we don't see to much of this content on main stream media because people don't like to be reminded of death so it is put to one side but we all need to be reminded that we need to take care of ourselves and others. Thanks again.Tony

I loved Steptoe and Son it was great. And what a very beautiful cemetery where he is laid to rest. Thank you for another uplifting adventure. 🤗

This was really interesting and quite touching. What a lovely peaceful place. He was a figure from my childhood, I can still hear his voice. Thank you for the video.

Sometimes actors can take on a part that becomes so iconic that it is difficult if not impossible to better. It cuts across all genres. For a great many people, Harry's legacy will be, in part, the joy and entertainment he provided throughout his career. It is a marvelous thing for anybody to be remembered with simple fondness and appreciation and there's no doubt Harry managed that. While many will be aware of his great acting talent, people will always love his relationship with that "derty ole man." RIP Harry. 😎😎😎

When I was young I used to play in a jazz orchestra in Sunderland. There was a disaster in Doxford Shipyard in 1966. A benefit was held in Sunderland Empire for he victims, I think 11 men killed, and Harry H Corbett was on the Show which he gave his time to freely and it was a success. I met him and he was a hell of a nice guy. Other acts included Susan Maughan the singer. My claim o fame? Making the noise of someone breaking wind on my trumpet when Harry H bent down in a comedy sketch. That is absolutely true, I was 16 at the time. The band I used to play with was The Ray Chester Big Band I played split lead trumpet with some fabulous musicians.

Thank you for this video. What a shame to see his headstone in such neglect for someone who brought us so much happiness. Rest in peace Harry H Corbett.

Such a shame Harry’s headstone not as best as it could be….very sad to see ….loved him as a actor he made me laugh and still does when see steptoe reruns …carry on screaming one of my faves ..RIP Harry xx

Absolutely loved steptoe and son have it on DVD so watch it when I'm down and another favourite rising damp takes me away from this horrible country and world will now live in

I'm the same brought up on this comedy, loved carry on screaming as well, his daughter is the image of him, I like the way you touch the headstone and thank them, I do that when I visit my family grave

Excellent video loved steptoe and son growing up still watch when it comes on TV thank you for sharing

It never gets old. Them two are timeless ✨️

This man entertained me more than any other . Today I still use some of his catchphrases and shed a tear whilst watching this video .

Just started watching your videos the last few days. Very enjoyable Keep up the good work.

Brilliant information PAUL. I was brought up on 70s comedy and these two were top of the tree. I can remember sitting on the sofa about 9o'clock when it came on so excited in anticipation of a good old laugh. Poor Harold, he never got the girl and was so downtrodden. Bless him.

One of my favourite shows Steptoe & Son. Great actor and I learnt something about him today. Nice to see flowers on his grave too.

Such a good actor,Sid James was meant to be in carry on screaming,but he had to refuse due to him being committed to appearing as one of the robbers in Babes in the wood at the London Palladium,which ran from December 65 until June 66,Screaming was filmed Jan - feb 66.so glad that it’s Harry & not Sid,it made a change.

As someone very close to him who visits the grave every year, it is looked after and not neglected. I hope those who may or may not feel that way about his grave understand that his family may wish to keep it like it is now.

Absolutely love Steptoe and Son!It bought happiness to millions. That was a very informative and interesting video,well done.It looks a wonderful part of England to rest.RIP Harry. ❤

I wish I lived within travelling distance to that graveyard, I would happily go and clean his tombstone. I love Steptoe & Son, I have the complete collection on dvd and frequently watch them. RIP Harry and thank you for so many laughs.

Always delivered with respect and dignity Paul, the story tell is full of facts, clearly well researched. Yes Steptoe and Son was one of the best British comedies around and drew a large following. Sad to see such an unkept grave yard with so much lichen on the head stones. Harry's catch phrase "You dirty old man" will stay in the mind of many.

Now in my 50's I really appreciate steptoe and son, rising damp, porridge all the best British comedy.

Steptoe and Son was my favourite comedy of all times, still watch them on KZfaq.

What a great video. Love the way you presented and gave a good commentary throughout. Thanks.

Love this. So peaceful there. Corbett was just brilliant as a stand in for Sid James, looked entirely comfortable with the carry on cast.

Thanks Paul for sharing love steptoe and son. R.I.P. Harry.x.

Steptoe and son is a programme I grew up on and still love it today thank you for showing this great video 👍

Absolute legend I use to love watching Steptoe & Son as a child 🤣 So much better comedy back then. Steptoe & Son I still watch today 🗣️ Harold 🐴💀🎩⚰️🎥🎬🤣 RIP 🥀

I'm a fresh subscriber! I'm a massive fan of Lamont At Large, so imagine how happy I was to find you in the UK!! Now I can probably binge☺️☺️😉

Steptoe and Son....One of the 100 things that make you British......Both Actors were a credit to their respective caricatures.

Growing up as a kid... steptoe and son was the best thing on TV. Then I had the two movies on VHS as a young mum.. and watched them over n over.. brilliant stuff. Keep up the good work Paul. Love ❤ you and your stories. 👌🥰😇

Just found your channel recently and loving it. I worked for a year in our local graveyard and a great way to read difficult to decipher headstone engravings was I'd spray water and shine a round torch on it and that helped so much.

Absolutely love Steptoe and Son, always makes me laugh! My great grandad, in his younger days, actually looked abit like Wilfrid Brambell....he actually had a horse and cart for his job 😂 That's where the similarities end though as he wasn't a rag and bone man lol. Love the Carry On films too and Carry On Screaming is another fave of mine, even though I use to have a recurring nightmare when I was a kid of Harry as the thing he turns into 🤣 Love the shirt and you've just said 2 of my fave horror films too. Love the older horrors. Thanks for another great video Paul and for always being so respectful 🙏🏻

My favourite comedy of all time steptoe & son 💙

Absolutely love this channel please keep it up

Thanks for posting this, such a brilliant show. What a lovely peaceful place to be laid to rest 👍

I'm really glad I've found your channel. Love the ones in America, but nice to find someone in the UK, looking at UK stars, and doing it with such great respect, interest and skill. Looking forward to catching up, and moving forward with you. Thank you!

Carry on Screaming!…..such a classic film! Harry H Corbett will always be remembered in this film alongside the great Jim Dale. Subscribed……excellent channel and very addictive watching👍🏻

And the words of the media pale into the paper upon which they were written, the voices of the interviews dissipate into the great silence of the past. Once a focus of the masses now languishing mostly forgotten, just a faded, weather worn stone in a quiet rural cemetery the only remaining clue he was ever here at all. RIP Harry Corbett.

I have watched four of your videos now and I would like to say how enjoyable I have found them. You are very professional in front of the camera. Carry on the excellent work.

Amazing the way graves fade so badly

Thanks so much for taking us on today’s visit. Just brilliant! Brought back such warm memories of family time around the telly laughing out loud. I’m off to find an episode of Steptoe and Son now lol. Watching from New Zealand 🇳🇿

I love that graveyard, it's so quiet and rural . I'd love to be buried there one day lol . Great channel by the way, you're a natural at it 👍
