The guy was a pervert
@@ricardiosentulio607 Have you any proof ?you clown🙄
The last member of the platoon has finally stood down. R.I.P Pikey you not only brought millions of people so much joy but looking at this you were also a lovely man. Those 4 words ‘Don’t Tell Him Pike’ have ensured your legacy will last forever
RIP Ian, thanks for all the laughter.
RIP Ian.. the platoon now complete in Heaventon on sea...
Gone to soon... stupid boy....sleep tight. thanks for your contribution
to memories of life....
So kind and generous of David Hyde Pierce to record that message. Most actors would've said no.
Ian was wonderful as Private Pike, he will be sadly missed, may he rest in peace
RIP Ian, hope you and the gang are having a great reunion up there
Birmingham Born actor Ian Lavender his received a Walk of star pavement on Broad street Birmingham RIP condolence to his family and friends 😢🙏🏻
Rest in peace Ian Lavender. This is lovely to see. He seemed like such a sweetie and my heart goes out to his family.
Such a humble man ….RIP🙏
An absolute gentleman and a huge, generous talent. Thanks for sharing.
Not a gentlemen, a pervert
Had no idea about Ian, until i saw this video. RIP
RIP Ian Lavender
My god I cried all the way through this. Such a wonderful wonderful man. I really am devastated by his death.
Love Dad's Army and was privileged to see him in the live stage show back in the 70s.
R.I.P Ian.
Last of the legends....best comedy show ever made IMO 😢
RIP Ian Lavender, you were a legend, and you will never be forgotten.
Rest in peace, Ian Lavender. Fondly remembered by The Wyvern Theatre, Swindon (Dick Whittington 1973) and by everyone who appreciated and laughed out very loud at your incredible comedy timing and wonderful humour. A truly fine actor.
At ease, Private Pike. RIP. A life well lived. Grateful to have your legacy to look back on.
This is a wonderful tribute. Thank you. He was a great actor and had such a warm screen presence. He was also very good on EE, which I can't say for all actors who come into the show after being defined in other roles.
Dads Army was a programme worth watching ,it cheered you up 👍
thankyou for sharing this 🙂 x
He looks so handsome and distinguished here. Not a stupid boy anymore😂
he's an actor
Sadly most of those appearing have left us.
All of em
I agree how it's so sad that old people aren't immortal
Blackheath Bushfire Brigade in the 80's was affectionately called "Dad's Army" by some of the locals. We all loved the TV series to bits.
RIP Ian, thanks for the laughs
Loved Dads Army. One of my favourite show watching it from 1968-1977. ❤️🙏RIP Pike!!
What a wonderful man. I loved watching Dads army as a child in the 80s. God bless Ian x
Great man ❤
i MISSED THIS SHOW,, WHAT A GREAT RECORD, OF ONE OF OUR MOST MEMORABLE CHARACTER ACTORS. THE LAST OF THE FEW.
iT'S VERY SAD TO NOTE, THAT MOST OF THEM SEEN HERE, ARE LOST TO US. R.I.P PIKEY.
so sad rest in Peace Ian Lavender
Dont tell em yer name pike, R.I.P
The actual line is "Don't tell him Pike!"
@@Euphoftoday Very pedantic.
Dad's Army and Eastenders. Roll credits
Managed to make the scarf so unfashionable…. 😂 Thank you for so many happy memories…. RIP mate!
Saw Ian Lavender on stage at Eastbourne. Great ensemble performance (also applauded by Spike Milligan).
Thank you so very much for posting this video. God bless and keep Ian Lavender. If anyone asks your name, don't tell em, Pike!

I grew up on the road he grew up on in Northfield, Birmingham.
Rest in peace Ian

Now and then , god gets it right
What’s that supposed to mean?
❤
Don't tell him your name pike.
RIP Ian Lavender. Have you got any more episodes of This is your life please?
Only two and they will be published when their subjects pass on.
@@stickytapenrust6869Can you at least tell us who?
@@theculturedthug6609 Weatherman Bill Giles from 1998 (which is incomplete) and actor Dave Willetts from 1991.
Thank you so much for the upload! Great channel, subscribed. Please, do you have This Is Your Life, the episode with Cathleen Nesbitt (S20 E23, May 7, 1980) It would be a tribute to Michael Jayston too (who sadly passed a few days ago) and it has many great actors in it too (John Gielgud, Max Harrison, Michael Jayston, Coral Browne, Douglas Fairbanks, Roland Culver, Maria Aitken, Richard Briers). Thank you!
No, sorry. Just this and two other editions (Bill Giles and Dave Willetts), which will be published when they pass on.
I was so saddened to hear of Ian's passing. His characters will live on people's hearts and minds & in the video recordings. I find the BBC's response to disallowing the submariner's list clip reprehensible. I think that the Corporation that we in Britain own takes itself far too seriously as being a professional commercial organisation. The clips of any BBC programme belong to us. We have to pay for them under threat of jail. Bad form.
Sleep well Ian. You were loved by many.
Unfortunately, copyright law doesn’t agree with you because the actors were (and are) all freelance, so the law says the production company owns it - regardless of how it’s funded - because they are the ones with whom the artists had a freelance employment contract with, not the general public.
The BBC - like all other public services - is not actually owned by the public in its most literal sense. Every public service is answerable to us and is funded by us but is not actually owned by us.
Still a shame but thanks for the explanation@@stickytapenrust6869
Rip pike
Mum used to watch this show when i was a kid and it bored me senseless. The theme tune itself was enough to send me to sleep. Now, I wish they'd bring it back.
I wouldn’t want it back. They got the cast perfect. It’s a pity that James Beck died when he did as the episodes without him seem quite hollow.
Repeats are where it’s at!
Oh! Dad's Army I agree with you! I actually meant This Is Your Life.@@stickytapenrust6869
And now Nestles are discontinuing Breakaway.
You might want to edit this video's description a little bit because actually, Ian Lavender died on the 2nd February. His death was just announced today, which is why you've uploaded this in his memory. You're only three days out.
HE DIED FROM A HEART ATTACK, WHILE JUST SITTING. ??????????
*I find it hard to believe that an American (David Hyde Pierce) would be unfamiliar with a colloquial sitcom like Dad's Army. Next we'll be hearing that they don't find the humour in Monty Python*
Would you find it hard to believe that Dad’s Army has only been screened on local PBS stations late at night over there, like pretty much everything else British screened over there as PBS stations cater for minority interests and are only available in big cities IIRC. So they’re pretty “out of the way” for most Americans to watch. That’s even assuming their local PBS station even decided to show it…
@stickytapenrust6869
Thanks for the information
My real point was that American humour is completely at odds with English humour. They don't really understand the level of self-deprecation involved in it, along with the English sensibility
RIP Ian Lavender
