He is probably best remembered for his comedic role as Sergeant Arthur Wilson in the BBC television situation comedy Dad's Army (1968-1977). A self-confessed "jobbing actor",[2] Le Mesurier appeared in more than 120 films across a range of genres, normally in smaller supporting parts.

One of Britains greatest actors. An absolute legend and a really gentle soul. I am a Dad's Army fanatic so this was special. RIP John.
What a lovely man. A true gentleman.
Rest in peace, John.
Some people are just to good for this world and John was definitely one of them,loved Dad's army and his dry sense of humour and personality certainly played a big part in it's success, Rip and thanks for the memories and laughter ❤🙏
Please remember Joan Le Mesurier, who died only 2 years ago and is survived by her son. Joan was a lovely, warm and generous lady

Thank you, Alan. A lovely video about a lovely man. I am always impressed by the amount of research you do for these videos. Thanks again.
I love all aspects Judith including you :-)
Thank you for a very moving story of his life and lost loves. A thoroughly nice man who people treated badly
Strangely enough I found out that where I lived near Heathrow was the last resting place of Tony Hancock who I loved as a comedian. It took a while to find his little stone as he was cremated, it took me about 40 mins before I found it partially hidden under a lot of garden waste. I cleaned it up and went round every month or two to make sure it wasn’t overgrown or spiked in any way. He was buried with his mother whom he loved. He is buried approx 3 miles from one of Heathrow’s main runways in a delightful little graveyard. I have moved from London now so never get to visit the grave anymore
I think he was one of the best actors and very good actor and will sadly missed 😊
I seem to remember that John had problems remembering his lines, not forgetting them just not having instant recall, and he used that to create the mannerism you see in Dad's Army when he pauses and looks around
Hi Genial I never knew that but I can imagine it. It's correct. Interesting. Thank you
❤ a true gentle man ,,the world needs your kindness and love rip xx
Brilliant story of a sad life , lovely guy. Thank you .
And thank you! Goldfish
There was good dad's army watched them all time there still funny today watched them as a kid when my dad was alive
John was a great actor ... Great tribute Alan ...
Hello Debbie, it was the top type of gentleman. Thank you my friend
Ultimate gentleman!!!! Dying breed these days. Thanks Alan
Hi Alan - another lovely episode - poor John ,as you said nice people always taken advantage of, wish he had had more bottle bless him- even his grave is quiet and unassuming- did you feel the angst from Hattie Jaques on this is your life squirming in her seat in case John let the cat out of the bag?! Wish he had done so, ruined her so called career! Look forward to your next offering mate, keep well and safe x🏴
I did Carol i watched her body langue he has something she was missing in class and morels Thank you Alan
I had a fantastic childhood because i had a fantastic Father when i was born in 1958 my father was 52 he was a retired army officer My father was very like Mr Le Mesurier very genital had to upset and a real gentleman of the old school thank you for a lovey video sad in parts God bless you John RIP
What a star in dad's army
I felt so sorry for him with the way Hattie treated him.
Another great video. John was a kind considerate man and you're a top bloke too Alan. Totally agree with your views on treating people
Sqizzy love the name ...poor John wanted love.
Just brilliant Alan, just brilliant. He had genius comic timing, especially with Arthur Lowe. Thank you.
Hello Russell, thank you mate
Aah bless him what a sweet unassuming man wonderful in dads army so funny shame he got treated the way he did he deserved better god bless you John rip thankyou Alan ❤️😊
Cristal you are spot on big thank you
John"s acting credentials are more expansive than some people may be aware of! And as for Hattie Jacques, her performance alongside Eric Sykes in 'Sykes' will be forever etched in the memories of many. Great content as ever Alan. 😊
Another great day visiting another great legend.. I remember dads army well.
Thanks again Beep Beep 👍 Molly 🌷
Molly nice to kn ow you :-)
Yes, John was a lovely man and I agree, if all men were that uncomplicated and non confrontational, the world would be a far better place. I’m trying to think of someone to compare him to, but I can’t. He was a one off. Tku Alan for another interesting video.
He was and is a rare commodity. I agree. Mary, Thank you, Alan
John Le Mesurier , He was so calm & collective Person even in his marriage to Hattie Jacques, Anyway , He appeared in Dozens of films Lets not forget that Epic Hollywood Film he appeared in Ben Herr. It was only a small part like many of his Films But Never the less it was Hollywood,
Anyway John Le Mesurier, God Bless you, R I.P.
Brilliant video sadly missed great actor 😢
I was in my grandmother's house when I heard about John's death in 1983.
A gentle soul, That cheeky way he had of looking around him often made me wonder if.he was gay. Thank you for delivering his story to us. I am amazed and a little saddened for John but happy to know he was so stoic and considerate of his partners and family. Another great episode, thank you, Alan.
Thank you my friend. That's kind of you
Many thanks Alan, another great insight to a much loved actor 👏
Thank you Alan for this video on this lovely funny man. A fabulous actor who was very good in a straight role 'Traitor' for which he won an award. Loved this video Alan.
Hi Joy, it was :-)
I never new anything about John until this what a gentle man so so deserved to be loved and cherished by a decent woman …. Shame on them and Tony Hancock .. furious … thanks again for this educational lesson Alan. Love your Chanel ❤️ very poignant xx
Hi Rowan It seemed that it was very much like the character you saw on screen. Very easy going. Too much really, but it was interesting to delve into his life and there's no doubt it was a nice guy thank you for You're encouragement! Alan
Hi Alan, just watched the video, another great one. Thank you for finding John, I know we talked about the dads army cast, really appreciated it. Sadly I never got to meet him, but a number of years ago I went to the dads army museum in Norfolk for the opening ceremony and some if the surviving cast were there including Clive Dunn, Bill Pertwee, Wendy Richards and writers David Croft and Jimmy Perry
Martin, that must have been a brilliant Day! What a great memory for you
John played a good character in Dads Army. He was one of my favourites, it was sad people took advantage or disrespect of the way he was , ?. Just like in Dads Army he was calm & collective, I have the Complete series on D.V.D . Sad to say the only survivor left Ian Lavender, Anyway John Le Mesurier you are not forgotten. God bless; Mr Andre J Falconer,
A lovely piece about John Alan. Tony and I really enjoyed it.
I knew he’d had a bit of a turbulent love life, but not to that extent. All the best from Tony and me xx
That fantastic Kay say hello to Tony from me
@@MotorHomeBeepBeep I certainly will Alan xx
Great video Alan. What a rotten way he was treated by his wives and he just put up with it is unbelievable. Here’s to your next video mate 👏👏👏👍
Hi Psi but I think he had some fun behind the scenes 🤣
An absolute gentleman and an actor I respect the most. He was fantastic in Dad's Army.... he also got one up on poor old Captain Mannering. 🤣
May I say that the Micro Museum in the first few seconds of your video is worth a look.
Hi Seg i missed it i did not know mate
Great video again Alan we were lucky growing up with great comedy shows like dads army steptoe and son etc
We were lucky Dave
hello Alan it was me who put the photo there as i am a great fan of DADS ARMY .thank you for your good work as i enjoy your videos as a subscriber .
User fancy that so that was a couple of months back. We must have been very close in time. What a shame we didn't pay at the same moment. You could have been in the film. Thank you for telling me. Alan
Thank You, I enjoyed this video
I'll be able to visit his grave as I live in Kent
Great enjjoy
And he was born, surprisingly, in Bedford.
Ah, this is a lovely tribute by you, Alan. Your videos are such a comfort to watch with a cuppa. Thank so much. Mx
Hi Mairi I am glad you find them relaxing 😎 I think drink up.
Nice video. Thanks.
Hi Alan
What a marvelous video he was one of my favourite actors and played in one of my favourite comedys DADS ARMY and there's a great Dad's Army Museum in Thetford Norfolk were I have been many times and it's free entry with loads to see and read
But John was a favourite of mine in Dad's Army always so laid back character it's a shame about his personal life
Thanks Alan Keep the good work up
Hello Everything, I'd love to go and see the dad's army museum. If I'm near it I'll do a film for the channel. Thank you, Alan
Another great video Alan. Love your presentation style and the background information. Dads Army a timeless classic which showcased his comedy timing and great acting ability. Unfortunately underrated and did not get the recognition he deserved in my view.
Hi CFP It was a pleasure to bring the story to light again. He was such a lovely guy. Thank you for your positive encouragement, Alan
I really enjoyed your perspective on such a complex character. I did notice his poster said Joan or did I imagine this? 🇬🇧👵
Not sure what you mean but someone left the picture of John Thank you Anta
Hi Alan another great video mate, all the best tony
Best Tony
Bless him what a sad life 🎉
It was a bit but I think he had his fun with the jazz in the alcohol,😀
Thanks for showing us this, much appreciated
I remember being quite shocked to learn that he'd been married at all to Hattie Jacques because they seemed like chalk and cheese. The way you said he used to hint drop all his laundry around and the 'would you take me on' line 😁 I don't know. That's a nice thing to have a photo there.
Hi Donna they did seem opposites to all but there must have been some love I wanted to protect him he was too delicate and nice he just wanted not to upset anyone. I think I would have liked him he would be a nice person to spend time with but I would not have washed his underpants ahahaha
@@MotorHomeBeepBeep 😂 Oh I would have, just to get them off the floor 😂 I think you're right in the most part and it's unfortunate that he ran into the wrong kind of women for him. Everyone is unique and should not be based on other peoples standards, as much as it is too easy sometimes to do that!
Great video Alan. Amazing input of his life. Dad’s army yet again a show we had to watch coz parents watched it ! No choice in them early 70’s. Hatty Jake’s wow! Had no idea about her and John. Only 71 ? He looked idk? 91. Not my cup of tea of an actor! ❤ keep up the great work ❤
It wasn't all sadness. I think John had a lot of pleasure. Also. He was so laid back but I think emotionally he was let down which does matter a great deal. Thanks my friend
A other brilliant video Alan John was lovely man .
The kind of you. John
HI Alan trust you are well I remember John Le Mesurier (Dads Army) Sargent Wilson a quiet actor but played his parts well
Cracking video Alan.Thankyou so much for showing us this.
Hi Mike a pleasure mate

Excellent video and amazing area
What a lovely resting place, I love that a family use it for a game of cricket, hopefully while they are visiting other family members though. Use to love Dads Army and would still watch reruns when they come up on the telly. Thanks Alan
Hi Tricia its a timeless classic

thank you Alan for such a warm tribute to such a very funny actor john and in my opinion dad's army is the best tv series ever what a great cast I enjoy all your videos alan kind regards kevin😊
Hi Kevin i watched it as a kid and i still love it like you
Many thanks alan
A lovely tribute to a wonderful man, Alan. My late Granddad was also born in Bedford in 1912 , just two months earlier than John . You too seem to have a warm caring personality , who knows , in an earlier time , you and John would probably have been the best of friends . Maybe you should now seek out , Hatti . Cheers , Alan , take care buddy .
Hi BS I would love to do Gatty but as is often the case she was cremated and there isn't an actual location for the ashes. Sometimes they go with the family etc etc. Nice, sugestion . Thank you Alan
Just for reference , Alan , my name is ,Tony . LOL

Another Excellent but slightly sad video Alan, when you go on your filming locations does it involve overnight stays in the Motorhome?
Hi Georgie I stayed at Hodgsons Gap in Margate it was a lovely spot next to the sea in the motorhome. I always stay in it when filming :-)
How lovely x Blackpool uk
I always felt sergeant wilson was the real john
❤
❤❤❤❤❤
Shelly much Love
❤️🌹
Rest in peace
Thank you Alan, I watched that story about his life, It was so cruel the way he was treated by the women in his life, I'm surprised he never drank more because of it, Great video Alan once again, See you again on your next one 👏👍
Hello Steve, I think it just enjoyed the music in the alcohol and why not life is short. It was a lovely man. Thank you, Alan
John would have been a 'very credible' Captain Mainwaring i think! That aside what an interesting, though ultimately tragic life this 'gentleman' had!
Would you be able to find the graves of the rolly Polly's who used to be on the Les Dawson show.
Wendy i don't know her but i look into her
@@MotorHomeBeepBeep they were the tap dancing group that were always on the Les Dawson show I could try and find out their names for you.
By the way I love all your videos ❤️
@@MotorHomeBeepBeep the main ladies name was Mo Moreland.
My grandad used to no the dance troupe when they worked the club circuit before going on to the Les Dawson show I,m not too sure if she is alive or not but I looked at bio on Google and it says she was born in 1936 and she from Yorkshire.
What a wonderful actor as everyone says in dad's army brilliant man ps but herd about his treatment by Hattie in spare room y she romped away made look a week man 1 1 15:08
Poor bloke was a bit of a doormat tbh... Definitely didn't deserve that, loved him as the governor of the prison in the film "the Italian job"
I was born in 1982 I was a baby then
I thought John was Brilliant actor
I loved him as Bilbo Baggins BBC radio Drama some one told me that john Smoked weed on set a big pot smoker apparently BBC didn't say anything his pot smoking Rest in peace John
I'm a bit confused... You said he died at the age of 71... But the magazine article says he was 90 when he died
Kim must have been a very troubled lad, they say he died of a accidental overdose, his date of death of the 6th October 1991 was the 11th anniversary of Hatties death RIP
Ps I never knew I shared a birthday with John, obviously not the same year or I'd be looking well for 111
Wow! I never knew what coincidences have you got your telegram from the Queen yet? Wako
My late mother used to be a maid in a house in the late 50s for the Riley Smith family in Sussex and said John Le Mesuier came one evening to visit and was a very rude and arrogant man to the staff. As was Jimmy Edwards
What a contrasting report. Interesting though. I suppose everybody has bad moments. Everything I've ever heard was complementary regarding his character but thank you for that. Alan
What a sad story, feel sorry for him. Maybe the reason why guys tried it on with his wifes is because they new he wouldnt retaliate, gave them the green light, and maybe the wifes were looking for reassurance that he did love them by warning them to keep away. But he did the opposite. ! Being brought up with a mother and father that were dyfunctional and didnt show any love i think had something to do with it. !
I believe it was John himself who played sergeant Wilson, not his grave.
Do you think thats wise sir? 😁
I do
"Sergeant"
He was married to Hattie jakes
Sorry im not like that if my husband did that he would be out on the streets
Hi Diane well said he deserved better
