did he?

You've got that one right Arthur, 55 is just not enough he still cracks me up even after all those years, God bless him.

Can I just tell you something? What did Professor Harold Everett say to his daughter Prudence? He said; "everybody has to go to school, it's the law of the land." He said it in 'Nanny and the Professor.'

I loved Peter Sellars acting

What. For taking the PISS out of Chinese &Indian accents? His REAL voice is the most disturbing of all tho. It's SOOO OVER-POSHED. He has a plumb in his mouth. He also CONTINUALLY CURSES? "CHEEKY young sod?" Claims to be a musician. Even admits he LIED, to BBC? GET TIRED, ILLEGAL, BLASPHEMOUS IDIOTS like HIM, OFF the airways!🚔🚔🚔🚔🚔🚔🚔 ps They're called "Timpani." And NOT "Kettle Drums!" Sod off, you WIERED cunt? And PLEASE, STOP SWEARING?!? I can't understand a WORD, of your "Cheeky Young Sod" soliloquie. THAT, is the extent of his vocabulary 🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡☠ Then he goes &shags Brit Ecland.? The guy's a TOTAL wanker. The canned-laughter is.... odd. Thank God that I'M alive in the 21st century 😔😔😔😔😔😔😔

Who's "WE?"

is it?

Why does every video featuring a Dead man have 1500 eulogies

how timely this comment currently is...

I finally found out the name of the old man/character; Candace who was Thomas Franklin's business partner mentioned, it's Joseph Ceracini who was the one that died at age 100.

Joseph Ceracini was mentioned; in the 1980 Rated PG comedy movie called, 'Being There.'

Joseph Ceracini never allowed Chance Johnson to go to school.

@@whitsm16 You have to listen to the person's mind; even though, we don't have the power to read people's minds.

Guapo viejo oh I think Peter far exceeds in natural talent then bob hope. He was a genius.

@@kdjlc Yes, and Leslie Nielsen doesn't even deserve to be mentioned in the same breath as Sellers.

Here here

Peter Sellers was to comedy, what Bob Dylan is to folk music. Both men are pure genius at their craft.

Oh, my goodness gracious me!

That I would like to see. If he were to immerse himself into a roll, it would have to be a rather large loaf, would it not?

*Inspector Clouseau.

I was kust thinking the same!

I've been a fan of John for years, particularly his comedy. Unfortunately I've only recently discovered Seller's genius. But I can see how much John took from him. It's very much a case of John looks like him.

do they?

This is a character as well

watching him makes me think of robin williams. imagine drinking with both of them at the same time LOL

I could never get along with 'The Party!' - Until I went to work in the Middle East with the 'Indian Contingent!' Then it was HILARIOUS! - Even the Indian Boys laughed too!

No, he knew he was very sick. He had suffered heart problems for many years. He knew he needed heart surgery for years before he died but he was too scared to have it. The technology was there. Instead he traveled the world being sucked into all sorts of silly 'alternative' therapies. It is all in the biographies of Sellers.

Sellers could have had open heart surgery but chose not to.

It's a common mistake, to say that ''Being There'', was seller's final film. Many wish it had been, including Seller's. But he was contracted to make '' The Fiendish Plot of Dr. Fu Manchu''. which was released in August 1980, , just a couple of weeks after Seller's died. Critics hammered it, and it did not do well at the box office.

The critics panned it because it is truly abysmal; unwatchable really. Even the biggesr Sellers fan has to admit he made some terrible movies. I have seen many very, very bad films starring Sellers.....and about 6 really good ones.

@@skeptical_sorcerer I don't want to know which works you wish to insult since the Great Peter Sellers has passed away and I do not care for you correcting everyone based on your opinion. Holier than thou, you bloody must be, considering Mr Sellers cannot reply.

Self-deprecatory humour is the strongest of all asit shows one is a secure and confident person who can take it as well as dish it out.... I'm actually rather skilled at self-deprecatory humour myself Jessie.......leaves the stage with a cheeky smile on his face....

@@Isleofskye thats true . glad youre so adept to it..any sense of humour is a plus ...a good thing to have ..

You are right and there are other benefits, as well. Others will accept you for laughing at them if they know you also do it to yourself and it takes "the wind of the sails" of any detractors if you get in first and laugh at your own idiosyncrasies and traits ...there is nowhere for them to go if they seek to belittle or embarass you because you have raised the subject yourself and controlled the situation Jessie :) @ @@jessiejames7492

Thank you, bless your great memories

Coincidentally, Sellers and Lennon died in the same year.

Lovely tip shared. I am very curious to know what did he do that made people avoid him? Was he knowingly obnoxious or offensive.

I really do not know why people were avoiding him. Peter himself stated this fact in an interview with Alan Whicker at his Beverly Hills home in LA shortly before he died. He actually stated that people were crossing the road in order to avoid talking to him. A few weeks after the interview it was Alan Whicker who recited Peters eulogy on UK television. He could be very obnoxious at times, and certainly Britt Ekland and Blake Edwards have had a taste of that fact, and was a bit of a womaniser (Sophia Loren comes to mind), but generally I think he was a likeable man to many of his friends. I also feel so sad that Peter did not find true happiness in his life, because he deserved that, and the death of his mother, with whom he had a very close relationship, hit him hard. I hope that he has now found that happiness in another place. The film Being There was really out of character for Peter, but he stated that it was the best work he had ever done, maybe because he felt that the character he played actually almost replicated his real life situation. He was such a wonderfully gifted talent, but considered himself almost talentless, despite being loved by so many people all over the world for such varied and delightful performances. I miss him a lot....because he was simply brilliant, spontaneous, and irreplaceable......and so did Stanley Kubrick. He would have definitely been in Eyes Wide Shut. If he had lived Kubrick would have had him in that without a doubt. God bless Peter Sellers wherever his spirit is now. Rest in peace with love.

@@MrMoggyman Thank you so much for your time and reply. Appreciate it.

Its not uncommon for comedy actors/comedians to be something quite different when not on stage or acting in a movie, on TV etc. If you are old enough you will remember Tony Hancock, hilarious but a very depressed guy. Robin Williams comes to mind. Sellers was a genius and for me, the high point was Dr Strangelove, where he played three characters. No one else could have done this, in the way he did it. He will always be missed, and enjoyed in the all movies and interviews he did.

@@moraleatwork Mental illnesses are associated with creativity (even when it's obnoxiousness; not that Peter Sellers was). That's why a lot of really creative people suffer from depression and other types of mental diseases.

Zimmah!

@@fredmichalczak3446 That's what I said

There is a better recording of this , which they mention in the video . He sounds like Lawrence Olivier.

Sorry GP

Which is a Documentery on now sit down as this wil come as a terrible shock PETER SELLERS!

He was on a plane with a new bride (can't remember who) and he picked another girl whom he afterwards married. How's that for lunacy (but he was a really fabulous actor - who knows what makes some people act the way they do). Check Wikipedia for his life and education. He said that living through the war made him the comedian he was.

That's because he was a mean bastard. behind the public interviews and films he was a very different person. fuck him.

@@TheGodParticle why do you have God in your moniker, are you just a rear end of anatomy or do you actually have a use?

Imagine that!

As would Stalon...

Died the same year.

Party poppers? The fireworks for po' folk? 🎆🎇🎉👊

i love ronnie barker. tell me more. didnt know he had multiple personality condition...

What about Being There. He was brilliant in the film adapted from Jerzy Kosinski’s novel.The simple-minded gardener who stumbles upon acclaim for his so-called profound insights.

How on Earth can you compare such great icons and legends when they were centuries apart in technology for a start
