A very aimable celebrity and outstanding TV film presenter.
What a beautiful place Alan. Glad to see Barry beside his Dad.
Well said Carol
What an interesting life you’ve had Alan, you give us these little snippets now and again! Thanks for visiting Barrys grave, this rekindled lots memories for me, he was on our screens for so many years.
Hello Judge, I always think it's only nice to drop in things if they apply directly to the main subject and myself to make a personal observation that might be of interest but not to say too much. It should be about Barry in this case not me. But thank you for your positive interest. That's very sweet of you. Regards, Alan
@@MotorHomeBeepBeepCould we have a video about you?
A lovely tribute. Thankyou. Barry normans voice is a huuuge part of my youth... ❤
Back in the 80s I used to do some work in his garden, they were a lovely family. His mother and my mother would play in a local bridge card team together.
A wonderful tribute to the master of film critics from yesteryear. Such a pleasure to view your work, thank you Alan!
Hi Leo so well said by you Thanks Alan
Lovely place to rest Alan, lovely little church- did you forget your flower? ! Used to watch film night when films were worth reviewing! Another good one mate x 🏴
Hello Carol, I have had that question. Asked a few times now but it's because it was filmed about 15 months ago. I had the original motor home. I didn't release it because another channel did it at the same time. Now you know. Thank you Alan
i grew up watching him sad hes gone rest in peace
He was very interested with his knowledge thank you David
Hi Alan, thanks for another very nice visit. The graves that I would like you to visit are my great hero Mike Yarwood whom because he was a performer in a transitory field of show business, ie because one has to have been around to watch his genius on the tv at the time, is mainly forgotten but he was the best. Anothers are Michael Parkinson and the wonderful Des O Connor. I hope you can find them one day.
Unfortunately Cheetham I would love to do all three of those extremely because they were all very big to me too. I watched them and they were talented people but I don't think it's possible but you never know if I can. I will in the future. Best regards, Alan
What a beautiful church I really liked this podcast straight to the point and no interruptions.
Well said Jaqueline Thank you Alan
Enjoy your videos Alan and comments about the celebs. I also like seeing different parts of the country. RIP Barry Norman a great prog presenter.

Thank you, Alan. Beautiful location, I used to enjoy watching the Film series. He had an excellent relaxed approach to presenting. Take care on your travels.

It looked like a beautiful day Alan! Another great video
HI Hank it was were are the sun gone :-)
Oliver Norman whose grave we saw was his grandson who died before his first birthday. He was born prematurely as was his twin Bertie who survived, and is now 30.
Hello Stephan, thank you for that. Interesting addition to the video. I wish I'd known at the time. Regards, Alan
Beautiful church and very peaceful graveyard. I remember watching his film guides. Thanks Alan for a respectful vlog x
Yes Allison, they lived in that area. Was a very nice village as well. Regards alan
Thanks Alan I was a big fan of Barry Norman and of his daughter Emma. He was the best film critic ever. He lost his sight when he got older. I hope you are doing well. This was a lovely video. I greatly enjoyed this tribute. Barry had good social values too.
HI Joan i did not know about his vision what a pity but his book to his wife sounded so full of love.
Loved Barry Norman ...Great Tribute Alan ....Beautiful headstone
Hi Debbie you are always a star
Hi Alan, I grew up in Stevenage and from the street I lived on I could see Datchworth church spire. Many times I’ve walked to Datchworth and back, walked everywhere back then. These days I’m down under but it’s nice to see places from my old stomping ground and the memories they evoke 😊
HI C I hope you appreciate that. I only did this film so it will bring back lovely memories for you. I'm very pleased that's the truth. Thank you :-)
What a lovlely video Alan I loved Barry Norman watched him for years good movie critic beautiful village you’ve had a fascinating life Alan love to hear more thankyou ❤️😊👍🏻
Hello Crystal, he was prime time and he made the films interesting before they release. It was a great show. I was very pleased and privilege to do the film. Thank you, Alan
Hello again Alan,
and such a lovely tribute to Barry Norman. I do love your relaxed, and down to earth way of talking. Thanks as always.......
Hi Mary it makes it worthwhile when i get such lovely messages thank You Alan
Can't forget that opening theme tune. It was so typical 1970's. Top of the Pops and Film Night on Thursday's used to signify the start of the weekend.
I remember watching him many a time on "Film."
Thanks for another lovely video Alan 👍
I pleased Alan, Alan :-)
Narracott was his wifes maiden name, so, i hope either side of him and his lovely wife are family members, including baby Oliver. Thank you for the great video Alan x
Barry was my neighbour in our village.. this is my local church
He must have been buried beside his Dad , the same surname, lovely graveyard. Thanks again Alan for a great video 💖
And a bigger thank you Tricia
looks more like a grandson ....lived from 1993 to 1994.....Oliver Norman The stone says November 1993 until April 1994, six months old
never missed watching Barry, terrific tribute well done Allan yetcagain
Hello Annette he was a very intelligent man dial son watching his reviews. Regards, Alan
@@MotorHomeBeepBeep he was indeed Alan, I watched him fromthe 70s as I recall, nice man too from all I heard 👍👍
Thanks Alan.
Thanks Alan for another great video of a great film critic I used to watch when I was younger. The very interesting fact was on the grave head stone was that Barry was just 4 days older than his wife. Well done Alan carry on the good work can’t wait for the next one 👏👏👏👍
Absolutely! Psy they were very close in age are they must have Mr. A great deal because he wrote the book. See you in the morning and I hope to see you. Thank you my friend for your lovely comment. Alan
Thank you Alan as always brilliant
But not as much as you Anthony X
Always enjoy your little chats and well informed eulogies ❤
Hi User likewise with your comments my friend
@@MotorHomeBeepBeep ❤️
Yet another highly respectful tribute to a well known & liked TV celebrity.
Is there any chance Allan of visiting the last resting place of that well known larger than life gentleman actor James Robertson Justice?
I've always genuinely liked the fella and just finished his very rare autobiography....What's the Bleeding time?
Honestly Allan, if it were made into a film no one would ever believe it & just think it fiction. he was such an amazing character who's life was a none stop roller coaster succession of truly amazing events & exciting experiences that simply beggar belief. things for instance like marrying a German princess, working his passage back to England over the Atlantic, being a personal friend of British Royalty, standing as a Socialist MP, an accomplished Orchestra musician, an expert falconer, he also raced cars at the old Brooklands track & had a million other skills.
I don't even know if he actually has a grave site as such, but I'm sure there'd be some quiet little place set aside to remember him by.
Either way Allan, keep 'em coming. as you know several others are doing something similar, but there's only one Beep Beep!
Hello jigger, You're the second person to recommend that and I was told that is autobiography is fantastic so I'd really love to do that. Definitely it's on my list. Watch this space thank you Alan
Thank you Alan, Did you notice the grave next to Barry's it was another Norman but a baby, Probably a grandchild from the dates. Great video again Alan RIP Barry
Hello Steve, I didn't notice at the time but I've been told afterwards. Thank you very much for that. Alan
Memories I was young then
You and me both Pat !
Happy New Year dear Alan. Loved Barry, I used to sneak back downstairs when I was a young teenager to watch his show when I had been told to GO TO BED !! 😘
Hi Jo Jo what superbly beautiful memories.. now listen to me don't go to bed 🛏️
Never heard of this guy, was only a kid in the 1970s, but great video as always Alan:)
Great Nay its kind of nice you dont know Barry i will swop ages with you :-)
@@MotorHomeBeepBeep You can be 53 and ill be 21 Alan haha..love to see you visit Bruce Forsyths grave sometime..even the cast of Are you being served or Dads army:
Great as always Alan 👏👏👏
But not as you Moggy thank you
Thanks!
Hi again David that is wonderful nice of you i won't forget my friend Good night Alan
Thank you Alan, another great video 👍
Thank you Cool John
Very pretty area and the church is very cute nice cemetery..😊
Hello big R
Another great video Alan. I always liked Barry Norman's film reviews and sadly he is gone too. But an interesting insight and respectful too. Well done and thanks again 👍 P.S. If you ever want to come to Northern Ireland I could line up a whole lot of interesting famous graves for you. Also a quick question for you Alan, have you watched all the famous deaths from 2023? It is my latest video.
Hi Greg You're better. Be careful. Greg or I might take you up on that. I would love to come to Northern Ireland. I'm probably well so I'll subscribe to your channel. I just been watching your video of the ones that I went in 2023 very good
If you want to have a chat sometime, give me a call on my mobile my fellow CZcamsr best Alan
A other brilliant video Alan keep them coming mate 👍.
Thank you ever so much John. You are a star!
Smashing chap, I knew him as a regular customer in a London dept. store I worked at. You never left him a flower? 🌸
Because I filmed it about 14 months ago before I did that if you noticed it was the original motorhome. Thank you, Bohemian
@@MotorHomeBeepBeep that makes sense. I don’t drive, or have any interest in cars, vans, lorries and motor homes. I would not have noticed. I did notice the two bikes on the back of the motor home. I ride a Dutch bicycle
Yes, and I still have two bikes on the bake so you will never know if it's new or old @@thebohemian.
Nice one Alan, interesting as ever.
And you Norman
RIP angel
Rest in peace
He was a good film presenter
❤
@charmaine mcgowan I totally agree. Sometimes a single emoji says it all 👍
I used to drink in his local. When you showed their tombstone. You didn't notice or say about the grave stone next to theirs it was their daughters little one who also passed away
I didn't know Graham but quite a few people have told me since. Thank you, Alan
Alan, you failed to mention baby Oliver Norman, right next to his loving grandparents!....their heartbreak would have been enormous.The stone says November 1993 until April 1994, six months old
Hello Bill, I'm afraid I didn't know about it at the time or I would have for sure. But thank you. A few people have pointed this out. Regards, Alan
I will never forget him reviewing 'Jesus Christ Superstar' way back in 1973.
As Barry Norman would say during his film 📽️ review series....."And why not". 😂
RIP Barry.
Well done David. I'd forgotten that. But yes he did absolutely 👍
Adams family probably live there lol...Barry Norman made me laugh with his film reviews. 😊
I'm not sure. Freebird if laughing at is reviews is good or bad. It depends on the reason at him or with him...
@@MotorHomeBeepBeep with him, he had a really descriptive vocabulary x
Nice video Alan! Another great job. Did you leave him a plastic flower as well?
Hello Gary a few people noticed that I didn't but it wasn't for a bad reason it was because I filmed it at the back end of 2022 it was the the first camper van but didn't release it because at the time it was done another channel so it seemed a bit silly and that's why there was no flower but thank you for noticing 😊
No worries Alan! I enjoy ALL your videos here in Australia mate🇦🇺
😢
Another good one. I sent you an email Alan with an idea for a video, not sure if you got it
Hello Benny, I actually did a search for your name because I couldn't see it. Send it again or contact me by phone if you wish 07813779273 all the best, Alan
It's programme.
The next grave was Oliver Norman, a child. I wonder what the story is there?
Just wondering Alan, why you didn’t leave a flower for Barry and June? Love your videos xx
Hello Ronia, some of the people have mentioned that it's because I did the film over a year ago. It has my original van in it. On the that time I wasn't using the artificial flowers. Thank you for your observations. Regards, Alan
@@MotorHomeBeepBeep sorry Alan, obviously I’m not very observant that I missed your previous motorhome. Thank you for your reply to answer my question xx
Why should you notice, all that matters you like the film and told me so nice of you cu again i hope Rona @@ronabarr950
It's HERTFORDSHIRE !!!
It’s amazing how quickly you forget about people who were ever present on the TV. He was excellent at his job, a voice and manner that was friendly and grabbed your attention without being superior or condescending. I noticed you didn’t leave a flower, perhaps it was because you were wearing it on your shirt today, shame about the colour 😂
Hi CFP you're exactly correct he was very much immersed in the film industry because of his father and family but he was so knowledgeable on screen and quick witted he was super as a film critic. The reason I didn't leave a flower is because I actually filmed it at the back end of 2002 I have my original motorhome in the film I didn't release it because another channel did the same subject at the same time so I thought it was too much but thank you for the excellent comment regards Alan
Is it the gravestone inscription "And why not?"
Hi Jig I must read that autobiography it sounds fantastic I don't know a great deal about him but he had such presence on TV and I do know the bleeding time actually 😎 I will take a look into if there is any possibility of doing the film but it's a great suggestion and I must read the book now. I'll let you know when I finished. Thank you my friend. Alan
I didn't even realise he was dead. (I hope he was before they buried him)
I do not think they would make that mistake 😕
And why not
I didn't realise I used to say that quite a lot. Thank you Charlie
I have sent you a message on your Facebook account.
Hello Wendy, I'll take a look. Thank you, Alan
STOP IT,
I could say the same to you 😎
