She was my best friend her name you said a bit wrong but she would smile at that. I was on TV with her with her ponies😢 I miss her
Thank you for messaging, I hope I got it right the second time I said it 🙏
@@UnusualThings1 you did Alex would have smiled.
Ahh that’s sweet, thank you… really appreciate you commenting 🙏
I saw her today god she was beautiful lovely blue eyes
Did she ever mention Mike Tomkies?
I didn’t know she was dead, I remember watching her in the Champions when I was younger. Very beautiful lady RIP Alexandra.
She was in Batman Begins, saw her name in the credits so had to rewatch her part
Same with me watching the champions and yes very glamorous woman and good program fond memories.
saw her in an episode of randall and hopkirk
Sad..hadnt realised she had passed away. Was in love with her since the age of 10 watching The Champions
Alexandra Bastedo a classy beautiful lady, inside and out. She had intelligence, beauty compassion and was also a great actress. She shunned the falsity of media and tried to lead a private life out of the public eye whilst being active as a private citizen in her local community. Her concern for animals was demonstrated not just in words but also actions. RIP.
a horse won this week called Sharon Macready named after her most famous part....owner is obviously a huge fan of the terrific the champions
I read her book 'Beware Dobermans, Donkeys and Ducks' and loved it !
I'm old enough to still remember the Champions and how stunning she was . Beautiful lady. ❤
I actually knew Alexandra from the 1970s with her husband in a Nightclub in Leeds.She was not only very beautiful but great to meet.We kept in touch at various times.I was heartbroken that her husband died of Cancer then she died of Cancer.She was a great advocate helping sick animals and opened up a animal sanctuary for them.A truly lovely person with no airs or graces.R.I.P.
Always good to hear John… 🙏
Alexandra was a close neighbour in West Chiltington and her animal sanctuary is still going strong. I only met her once but she was very pleasant and elegant. I had no idea she was buried in that particular churchyard, it’s one I cycle past regularly on my way up to the South Downs. I’ll stop next time and pay my respects, she was a wonderful caring woman from what I understand. RIP Alexandra, taken too young.
I was born in 1953 so I well remember her in The Champions in the 60's.
A really beautiful actress.
RIP Alexandra - what a wonderful woman. I love people who have such compassion for animals - they are extremely precious humans.
I sincerely hope you don't eat meat ( dead animals)
@@voicevoice2053 you can bet on that!!!! absolutely not!!
I didn’t know she was dead ..absolutely gorgeous looking lady ..loved her in The Champions !
I met Alexandra at a film fair in 2012. She was a very elegant, friendly lady. We won't see her likes again.
She was a beautiful woman and she had a kind heart.
How I adored that girl,watched and still have ,all the episodes of the Champions. She was such class,and always immaculately dressed,but what I loved about her the most was her beautiful voice and intonation. All in all,she was exquisite,the perfect woman in every way. I loved her.
When you can see people regularly on TV like the Champions it's hard to believe that they aren't here anymore, I know that we all have to go one day but it's so sad, Alexandra and her husband together forever !
Beautiful lady gone too soon. Remember watching the champions way back. ❤️
Very interesting video for me, i've idolised this woman (and Diana Rigg) ever since i was a primary school kid back in the sixties ..... I used to watch the Champions, and the Avengers as I was growing up, and i still watch the repeats of both series even today .... Alexandra Bastedo was stunning, an absolute goddess, and a very caring person to both the people she loved, and animals.
Me, too. We were blessed to have had such excellent TV shows,......and stars, back then. Better times, and at least we have the memories, today.
Yes she was more beautiful than Ursula Andress
Sharon and Emma were the two role models for girls growing up in the sixties.Both beautiful,strong charismatic ladies.
I was in a cafe Kings Road Chelsea Sunday 12 January 2014 actor Simon Williams spoke to me and said Alexandra Bastedo had died. I was a stranger . He was in shock and had left his wallet in the cafe. She had conventional cancer treatment early on Simon told me. Radiotherapy and Chemo is a brutal treatment. Thank you again for your insight I shall never forget that Sunday in Chelsea ,
I remember her so well, and like me she was big on the lives and rights of animals, looking forward to watching. Bless her.
That's great she certainly is a champion with her wonderful work and devotion for the lives and rights for Animals, which is incredible for me. And a very beautiful Lady.
Both she and Brigitte Bardot, re animals, and both charming people.
What a gorgeous lady she was. Watched her in the Champions has a child.
still watch the champions classic. she was an animal lover also. would love to see peter wyngards grave aka department s and jason king
I was lucky enough to meet Alexandra just once, she was a very nice lady, and a great lover of animals.
I remember her,I used to watch it with my mam, I'm 62 now xx
I loved the Champions as i kid growing up, who can forget Sharon McCreedy, She was the classic English Rose, people over the years, that you have adorned and admired as they are in a number of different productions/shows/films etc during their career, even if you never met them, they become part of your family and even when their time comes its hard to say goodbye, RIP.
30 years ago, I bought the remotest house in Southern Scotland and lived there for 21 years, in the heart of a great forest; I purchased it from a naturalist named Mike Tomkies, who became a good friend. He had been a celebrity journalist in the 50s and 60s and had been engaged to Alexandro Bastedo, but she was about to start the Champions TV series and all that entailed. They felt it may be too early to marry, and they split up. He never got over it and became a recluse, leaving Hollywood, living rough in Canada as a logger, and gradually getting involved with Eagles and Bears. Mike wrote many books on wildlife, including one on the Hollywood wildlife. He told me she was the most beautiful woman he had ever known. He said of her. " she was the "most stunningly beautiful creature" he had ever seen." Mike died a few years ago; he was a fascinating man.
She was an absolute stunner in her day .. but I didn't know she had passed.. looking forward to this one Paul... as I do every day xx
The only 'Champion' left now sadly is William Gaunt, who played 'Richard' in the series.
a hint of Sharon Tate with her looks!
A natural beauty for sure.
I remember her passing and feeling both saddened and shocked - as you say, an absolute beautiful lady
Lovely graveyard,pity people don't visit her grave,sad no flowers,we should never forget them who have passed,thank you 😊 Paul xxx
Loved Alexandra as a young boy of 9 watching the now cult TV series The Champions.I have an autograph from her which I treasure and its lovely to see that she's resting peacefully.Thanks Sharon Macready aka Alexandra for all the viewing pleasure.God bless
I did not know that the beautiful lady had died, RIP. A fitting resting place for such a good person.
A very beautiful lady who died far too young. Iconic in the Champions.
I love the peace and tranquillity of graveyards. I spend many hours searching them, not looking for 'famous graves' but in my case family graves. I remember watching Alexandra in The Champions, so thank you for bringing the memories back to me.
I love Alexandra in the Champions and copied her hair do's When my husband and I returned to UK we discovered our cats had FIV although we had had them checked before we left Portugal. I read a magazine in which Alexandra said her rescue animals were treated with alternative medicine. One cat had survived 10 years with FIV. I contacted her and asked for her advice. She gave me details of how to treat them. She was so compassionate and helped me to cope with them. She communicated regularly and we chatted online. Obviously I supported the rescue centre. Then my husband realised he knew her husband Patrick Garland whom he met whilst acting both were acting and directing in NY. She was the epitome of elegance, generosity and just simple friendliness. I was so sad when she lost Patrick. Like myself and my husband they had been unable to have children and were vegetarian. When my eldest cat died she suggested putting a photo in memory of him in the centre. I will never forget her. She had a very special quality as well as real unadulterated beauty.
Another great film mate.
Not religious myself, but still churches and their history/architecture still makes my mind wander. What did the people look like, thier lives compared to what we know now. To be transported back in time, and to be a flie on the wall, must be up there with most people's things to do...if only
so sad I wonder about her animals she was so kind I am sure she must have made provision for those looking after them in the event of her death. We always lose the beautiful people too early when they still have so much to give. Such simple headstones too nothing OTT. .thanks Paul
When I was a child churches were always left open so anyone could walk in. I loved the Champions and all women wished they looked like Alexandra Bastedo. Thanks for sharing Paul xxx
This church is always open day times only you just need to push the door a bit harder
She was as talented, intelligent and compassionate, as she was beautiful. Sad to hear she has passed. ❤
I loved the Champions never missed an episode and what a beautiful lady Alexandra Bastedo was RIP..
The tree next to the church is amazing
She was so Beautiful. I remember her well in the 60s. RIP.
One of the charities she supported was Compassion in World Farming, my former boss supported this charity and would ask me to sign postcards to stop live animal exports etc and send them to the government and the EU. Alexandre was beautiful, intelligent but above all she loved and cared about animals. RIP Alexandra and Patrick.
Firstly, allow me to say thank you as I did comment about Alexandra's grave, if you would actually visit her.
I never missed an episode of "The Champions " and loved the reunion of Stuart Damon, (sadly also now passed) and William Gaunt who I believe is still with us.
Once again Paul, thank you, you have made an older person very happy.
I remember her in The Champions when I was a kid
A lovely stunning lady
Thank you again for another wonderful video 🙏🏻
Another brilliant video I remember her very well in the champions but didn't realise she was in East Enders she was a very beautiful lady, this week while I've been waiting for more of your videos I've been looking at other grave yard programmes on CZcams, got to admit there's no competition you are the best by far, carry on the great yard Paul,cheers mate.
I'm ashamed to say that I had never heard of her until your notification popped up, even though I grew up in the late '60s and the '70s. She was stunningly beautiful. I can't imagine a more beautiful and serene place to spend eternity.
I didn't know who she was either. She was a very beautiful lady.
I remember catching up on old episodes of The Champions and was staggered to find out she had died. Absolutely a beautiful woman and person.
Your the absolute best Paul, thank you for this post. RIP Alexandra who was beautiful inside and out, all the great work she did for animals as well as a great acting career.
Exactly. Lovely lady x
Don't Brag to paul how good he is cos I've told him already....... :D
Brilliant, my fave British actress.
Was gutted when she passed on🥺. Luved Alexandra in The Champions. I was hoping you'd visit Alexandra's grave Paul.👍
I remember her in the champions a very beautiful lady , she was amazing actress with charisma to boot. Rip Alexandra.
Wow what a lovely video Paul remember her well loved in the champions and the saint what a stunning woman enjoyed her very much thankyou Paul so much ❤️😘
Always thought was American what a beautiful lady great job Paul 👏
I used to watch her in the champions and thought she was stunningly beautiful.I didn't know she had died and was sorry to hear this.She came across as a lovely and intelligent woman. I hope she had a happy life. Rest in peace Alexandra Bastedo.
only a few months ago i found out she had died........only William gaunt left now
I knew someone who worked in the dental practice that Alexandra went to, she said she was a wonderfully warm and delightful lady.
Loved Alexandra Bastedo The Champions is currently being shown on ITV4, what a beautiful lady she was those cheekbones RIP Alexandra.
What a beautiful place - pity the church was shut. I had no idea that Alexandra had died - I was literally watching an old episode of 'The Champions' only the other day!
She was exactly 9months older than me, I was born 9th December 1946. I certainly remember her from the 1960's on TV especially in The Champions, and like many other young menback in the day I certainly had the hots for her. Someone else taken far to young by the dreaded C.
The Aphrodite Inheritance. Great series. She really was the most beautiful woman, but her philanthropy was nice to hear about.
Irrespective of being a person of faith, churches can be massively interesting. It would be great to hear the history of the places visted.
Looking forward to watching this Paul thankyou 👍
What a Beautiful Girl, RIP Alexandra.
Looking forward to this one, she was such a beautiful lady, loved her in the champions 👍
As a teen I remember her in The Champions, playing Sharron Macready, such a beautiful woman, she was my first crush.
Had no idea she had passed. Yet again taken too early bless her.
I worked in the theatre with her and she was lovely. Very classy and talented lady.
Because she was bilingual she once commentated on Miss world so many people thought she should have been a contestant! Great video and that tree as you left the graveyard wow I wonder how old that is. And RIP Alexandra.
First of all thank you for putting up this article about Alexander Bastedo! She was a classy lady indeed...
I saw her many series'of The Champions years ago and didn't think much about it until now and was a pleasant surprise reading about her... her co-stars in The Champions was Stuart Damon and William Gaunt came fresh into my mind after many years!
I'm so glad I got to know her here better! 💖🌹
From S'pore 😃
Such a stunning actress. Still watch “The Champions” on ITV 4 ❤️🎭❤️
I live just a couple of miles away from where she is buried, I loved her in The Champions and admired her for her animal charity work. So sad she died quite young, so glad her charity is still going.
Hi Paul, I'm 62, I was 8 in 1968 and I can remember The Champions and even as an 8 year old, I thought Alexandra was a very beautiful lady. Great work as always, thank you.
Beautiful lady and actress . My father loved her .. she really was a beautiful wonderful actress xxx

Great introduction Paul 👍👌
Gorgeous resting place for such a gorgeous lady. Loved her. Thanks Paul x
Thanks Paul have a magical memory of Alecandra. In 70s i attended a drama school in Littlehampton run by a fan thespian gentleman called Nial Booker-Hill with a lady called René. We used to go around touring in various theatres for groups, improvisation etc, loved it, great memories. Anyway we were at a theatre once cant remember exactly but was in Sussex. Nial came back stage with a lady and introduced us all to her. Nial asked if anyone knew or reconised this lady, i was the only one to know who she was, shook my hand, we had a group pictire taken, however never got to see or have a copy. A truely beautiful lady with such a magical voice. A beautiful memory, just cant remember full details. Loved the Champions then and even now. Thanks Paul😊
Champions every Sunday loved it, Paul excellent as always.🙂
Alexandra Bastedo was my first love : she was fantastic in The Champions , a lady who was more beautiful than the sunrise. Thanks Paul for sharing this I found it to be very moving.
I remember her in the champions there were two men who played beside her but cannot think of there names I used to watch it great series RIP Alexander ❤️
I must admit iwasnt too aware of her but what a beautiful lady! ❤
and what a beautiful resting place.
I too love the Autumn
All I remember her from is The Champions which I used to watch religiously as a kid. I thought she was the most beautiful woman on earth. I must have seen her on Absolutely Fabulous but not recognised her and I never watched Eastenders. Thanks for that pretty random blast from the past Paul.
I used to love her in champions beautiful women, well done Paul great video once again
Absolutely lovely, looks so peaceful.. Alexandra and my Mum died the same year, both of Cancer... I never tire of watching The Champions, they made a impression on a 8 year old boy when I first got chance to see the Champions in the late 60s early 70s.... A eligant and kind lady who loved her animals...
She was the epitome of true beauty and one of the most stunning women I have ever seen!
I remember watching The Champions with my brother back in the 60s and remember this lady with the two good looking guys so look forward to watching this video xx
a really lovely piece.
Alexandra was in the Champions!🤩
...she's the first woman I fell in love with, well, apart from Aqua Marina.
'The Champions' was amazing, had a big impact on me. and now I have special powers.
my first ever woman crush as an 8 year old, was obsessed with The Champions
A very beautiful woman both inside and out, another part of my childhood gone!
Alexandra came into the shop I work, to get some photos done, around 2013/14. I had no idea also she had passed, and have still been waiting all these years for her to come again, to Worthing.
God Bless you for the work you did with animals, Alexandra.
Growing up The Champions was my favourite TV program, a real classic of its time. I always had a big crush on Alexandra, she must be one of the most beautiful women of all time, such a beauty. Looks like a very nice place to be buried. Thanks for the video.
Such a shame, remember seeing her on The Saint! Respectful as ever, love your channel keep it up 😊
She was a brilliant actress thanks Paul for a fantastic vlog as always
I have a lot of time for anyone who cares for animals. A beautiful woman, quite stunning. A great loss. Rest in peace.
When I was a boy, her parents had a house not far from mine and I was at school with her brother (several years ahead of me). I saw her a few times, memorably beautiful even as a schoolgirl even though she was 7 years my senior.
Alexandra was my favorite TV star when I was 6 or 7 as I was allowed to stay up late and watch the Champions on ITV, she was also fantastic in the spooky TV series "Aphrodite Inheritance" which had a wonderful twist in the last episode. Thank you, "Sharon Macready", for giving me such great entertainment when I was a small boy I have such fond and happy memories of you Rest In Peace, you lovely lady!! Thanks, Paul!
Delightful video....She was stunning....The Champions was a truly fab TV series, now in the realm of being a Cult in the TV world...
Yes please, love to see the churches and surroundings...😇
Thank you Paul for Another interesting Video. 💥
💔 watched the champions great series 👍
I met her in the Zodiac coffee bar in the early 1960s and went out with her a few times - we had a common topic as we both had Canadian fathers -- she drifted away from me much too quickly as she obviously had better things to do in her life -- she was a really lovely person and I remember talking with her so clearly
You went out with her?
Alexandra was a beautiful woman 👍🏻♥😍
My only claim to this lady is in the mid 70s i was at tottenham court road studioes working on the series looks familier hosted by Mr Dennis Norden can you look him up great guy on the set that day for recording were Miss Beryl Reid jimmy tarbuck his dad in the wings Val Guest and his wife. Val made the early james bond movie with David Nivern my home town hero the great Mr Peter Sellers miss Bastedo was also in that film Great times. keep up your work really enjoy seeing our former stars there are no modern replacements`
