- Please join me in this video, George Baker - Film and TV Actor - Ruth Rendell Mysteries.
George Baker is most generally known as D.C.I. Wexford in the Ruth Rendell Mysteries series which ran on television for thirteen years, from 1987 to 2000!
A veteran of stage and television George Baker's first West End appearance was in 1953 and before his death in 2011 he chalked up over 140 credits on the big and the small screen! He also continued to work in theatre and was an accomplished writer - from comedy scripts to cookery books and everything in between!
George Baker had a somewhat complicated love life - he married three times and was also made a widower twice. In the 1950s George Baker had a short but passionate affair with one of cinema's most beautiful actresses!
Please join me as we remember the life and times of an exceptionally gifted actor, and take flowers to his final resting place at All Saints Church, West Lavington, Wiltshire.

I thoroughly enjoyed this video which was so well presented.I used to enjoy Wexford in those murder mysteries.
What a colourful character in real life!!
Thank you so much - and thank you for watching! George was brilliant in the Ruth Rendell Mysteries ❤️ He was indeed a character 🤭 xx
Your lovely red roses brought the sun out,as ifGeorge and his MRS said “Thankyou”
It was an amazing day - and to see the sun come out like that just took my breath away - it was lovely xxxx
Well...I appeared in 'Shake Hands Forever' with George himself. On meeting George, I didn't know his name, and I had to ask him...George responded with a great smile, looked down at me, and said: George Baker! I will take that meeting for the rest of my days...GB?..a total gentleman...Thank you and sleep well my friend...
Oh wow!!!!! Thank you so much for sharing your experience of meeting George - I have a huge admiration for him, both his work and his apparent generous and kind personality - this is such a cool story - did you continue with your acting career? xxxx
You bring the sunshine wherever you go 🌞
Ohhhhh I remember that day so well 😂 It was quite amazing the change in the weather so quickly! xx thank you for watching!!! xx
Brilliant in I Claudius RIP George baker
He was a great actor xxx thank you for watching xxx
Yes I have to agree with Andrea it is sad to see dead flowers at a grave or even grown over with grass
The good thing is the flowers do just go into replenish the earth - I always leave fresh flowers with no plastic etc - that’s what I don’t like to see - seas flowers in plastic/cellophane wrap! 😬💐
You are so lovely to leave flowers 💐 bless you
Thank you Sue 🥰🌹
Loved george Baker.. remember him in a comedy role early 70.s called bowler..very funny...superb actor....thanks for posting
My pleasure! Thank you so much for watching - George was brilliant xxx
A superb actor and i will never forget his role as Mr. Lewis the store manager in that classic scene with Michael Crawford in Some Mother's Do 'Ave' Em. Comedy gold. R.I.P GB.
Thank you so much for your comment and for watching the video - it’s very appreciated x
Thank you so much. I am always quite sad when a grave is not really taken care of, especially with someone so well known. Is it that difficult to visit now and again and pay a bit of respect, especially when they had a big family? Very sad! Thank you for taking him flowers. Bless you.
My pleasure! Thank you for watching x I think the churchyard is very pretty - but the stone is getting difficult to read I must admit x
I agree totally. Its exactly the same with Harry H Corbetts grave . These familys should be ashamed of themselves.
Very sad, according to you and as you clearly imply, famous people are more important. Baker was a solid actor, not someone who made a major contribution to society. Clearly, his family doesn't suffer practice idolatry.
If you have ever read any of Ruth Rendell's books, he was the perfect Reg Wexford - almost as if the part had been written for him.
I've not read the book but I absolutely loved the series! Particularly enjoyed George's acting! xxxx
@@BeautifulBadandBizarre
Rendell herself confirmed that she wrote the later mysteries in the series with George in mind after the series was commissioned. Unfortunately, the last 6 novels in the series were never dramatised and Rendell herself passed away in 2015.
Brilliant actor god bless him
He was ❤️
@@BeautifulBadandBizarre strange he waa on minder last
Week he was in minder twice
All these types of channels i have watched yours is the only one that takes flowers to show respect
Thank you x I wouldn’t dream of visiting without flowers - it’s very important to me x thank you also for watching! X
A truly great actor. But such a tragic childhood.
Yes - so sad x He certainly lived life to the full though! And such a talent ❤️
I had a temporary cleaning job in the early 70's and was sent to his house in Brixton (l think) he was very sweet.
Oh wow!!!! How I would have loved to have met him - that's so wonderful to hear that he was so nice! Thank you for sharing xxxx
Rest in peace George Baker
❤️❤️❤️
I agree with George about regrets you shouldn't have them they only hold you back in life and they are lessons in yourself .
Yes I do too! They certainly do hold you back - it’s better to reflect on them, hopefully learn from them and then move forward - accepting that as you say - a regret is a lesson in yourself! ❤️
I didn't realise he was such a ladies man.
Thank you for that insight into georges life.
🤭🤭🤭 yes he was certainly that!!! He had the looks and the charm too lol x
For a man to lose three wives
Is almost unheard of except I suppose
Henry the 8th case.
I think George redeemed himself in the end
And we are all only human.
The flowers as is the grave quite lovely.
Best wishes.
Yes! I think it was so sad - I know some people wouldn’t look favourably on his chequered history with the women in his life but I feel he knew he’d not done right by his first wife - he admitted it and he regretted what many would consider his bad behaviour - and I completely agree with you we are all human - it’s easy to judge and the thing is everyone is judged by different standards! As the old saying goes ‘you can’t please everyone’ and it’s true!
Thank you so much for watching! And for your lovely comment ❤️🌹
Lovely Tribute, thank you
Thank you ❤️ and thank you for watching! 🌹
I never knew George Baker was so handsome and tall no wonder Ian Fleming wanted him to play Bond obviously he didn't get the role but he did appear in 3 Bond films I also remember him in Some Mothers Do Av'Em Frank Spencer nearly giving George a nervous breakdown. Great video well narrated.
Thank you so much and thank you for watching! Oh YES! George was exceedingly handsome - he was in so many films - although I think most people remember him as DI Wexford! ❤️❤️❤️
@@BeautifulBadandBizarre Thanks for replying
My pleasure! I love George! ❤️
He was a lucky chap in love and acting
He was lol xxxx
Another delightful heart warming watch.
Thank you so much and thank you for watching! ❤️
I've always liked George Baker, thank you, l like him even more now facenating life...... 😊🇫🇷❤️
My pleasure! He was a great actor and a very interesting person - thank you for watching! ❤️
Another great actor of our era sadly gone, I remember George in moonraker, you and good looking, great actor that did so many things, I reckon the sun came out to say thank you for the flowers 🌺 Thank you for the walk through George's life 👍👍
Thank you Eve and thank you for watching xxxx George was such a great actor and personality - always seemed very kind in interviews etc - the weather was such a contrast from arriving to laying the flowers! 🌹 xxxx
he was superb in iclaudius.
I have to agree! I’m a massive fan of George - he was a splendid actor xx
A good actor and the first No 2 in the Prisoner.
He was splendid!!! ❤️
@@BeautifulBadandBizarre Good evening..
Yes, he certainly was a splendid actor. The first film I remember him in was Dambusters from 1955 in which he played David Maltby who breached the Monhe Dam but was tragically kilked a few months later.
Was in Tales of the unexpected . Or maybe George brought the sun out as a thank you 😊 ❤
🙂 Maybe! Thank you for watching
What a lovely graveyard to be buried in. Once again, what a shame for another famous person with a shabby headstone. Lovely informative video again. Thanks.
It is very pretty - especially with all the fallen golden leaves 🍁🍂🍁 the headstone could certainly do with a nice clean - it’s under quite a large tree so to a certain extent it’s protected from the elements but has got to a point where a clean would be nice x thank you so much for watching x
Thanks as ever. Wiltshire is my neck of the woods!
I love Wltshire - it's beautiful where George is - and of course Diana Dors was a Swindon girl! xx
Thank you for another lovely video, he was one of our best.
My pleasure! I'm a huge fan of George - he was such a great actor xxxx thank you for watching! xxxx
Fascinating as always. I absolutely love all the old photos. What a full life x
Thank you so much Wendy ❤️ and thank you for watching 🌹 George certainly lived life to the full! Xx
I love how you speak, so relaxing and quiet.. slowly.
👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
So respectful 🌹
Ah thank you! That’s very kind ❤️❤️❤️
Apart from Wexford, I remember George's appearance in Some Mother's Do 'Ave 'Em, I believe it was the very first episode. His character started off so well, by the time Frank had done his magic poor George had lost his staff, had a broken lift and was on his way to a nervous breakdown!
🤣 yes!!! He was great in Some Mother’s Do ‘Ave ‘Em! ❤️
Another beautiful and well researched video with a captivating narration!. George certainly lived life to the full, although I'm not keen on folk who cheat on their partners.
Thank you so much ❤️ and thank you for watching! I have loved George from the first time I saw him in Tread Softly Stranger but yes… he was very naughty (for want of a better word) but he did realise it and he was honest about it in the end - he felt terribly guilty 😬❤️
Well I never! Dam busters is one of my fave films filled with great actors and I never knew George Baker played Dave Maltby. You’ve taught me something Shar
Oh my goodness I thought I’d responded to your comment - unless my phone is playing up - which wouldn’t be the first time 😬 I need to check this out 🤣 I’m sure I did - am rambling here - apologies lol it’s that Monday morning feeling lol xxx
@@BeautifulBadandBizarre you did reply. If you remember my phone thought it would be amusing to post the same comment three times 😂
Didnt recognise him until he got older. yea ! great actor, so sad about his family members dying so close together, were do you get the strength to get through that, losing one is bad enough. thanks for these its great Learning about there backgrounds even though its sometimes tragic, you sometimes think you are hard done by until you hear about other peoples backgrounds x
Yes!!! I think sometimes you look at celebrities/actors like George and think they were dealt such a lucky hand - good looks, talent - charisma and success - and then you look closer and realise they too have had struggles and faced the hardest and most painful of times x
Thank you. It was a lovely story of a lovely man and great actor 🥰❤
My pleasure! Thank you so much for watching xxx
Once saw George Baker, completely by chance in Highcliffe on Sea, nr Christchurch, Dorset ( 1989 ) He was filming TV series there.
There is a Carpark, near Sea / Beach, George, was talking with I believe Director of Wexford.
There was number of Caravans ( film crew etc )
George, was in Trilby hat / Raincoat,
Anyway, Peace to all.
Would have loved to have met him in real life! ❤️❤️❤️
Thanks for another interesting bio of a familiar British actor. I feel sorry for the first wife. Men shouldn't marry young, I reckon. Oh, and he was once up for the part of James Bond, and appeared in OHMSS, dubbing for George Lazenby at some points.
Thank you so much! Yes it can’t have been easy for Julia left with four children - but he did support them from what I have read and they remained friends until her death x Yes!!!! He was
Remember him well as the evil Emperor Tiberius in I, Claudius in the 1970’s. Think he may have been in James Bond as well as I remember him in a naval uniform. Thank again for taking the trouble to go to their graves and remember them even if their families don’t seem to.
Yes!!! He was brilliant in that - I think he was in James Bond yes and at one time he was also considered to play James Bond! Thank you so much for watching - it’s a pleasure and a privilege to visit ❤️🌹
A lovely tribute to a lovely man. The placing of flowers at the graveside is especially touching. You show such respect and affection for your subjects.
Thank you so much! I adored George Baker - he was such a great actor and I thought there was such sizzling chemistry between him and Diana Dors in Tread Softly Stranger! Fabulous film ❤️
Great actor. He starred in so many things, but I always remember his suffering at the hands of Frank Spencer in an episode of Some Mothers Do Have 'Em.
Haha! Yes! Loved him in that! He was very versatile ❤️
@@BeautifulBadandBizarre he was indeed
You are absolutely the best thing on CZcams, and I'm so happy to have discovered all your videos on these amazing actors lives. It's nice to see that someone visits their final resting place. I have to admit I have only seen George Baker on TV, and watch him as Chief Inspector Wexford often. In fact we watched him only last night. You have introduced us to so many wonderful films and television that we look forward to seeing for the first time, and revisiting many we have already enjoyed.
Thank you so much for your incredibly kind words! It means a lot to me that you're enjoying the content on my channel, especially the videos exploring the lives of remarkable actors like George Baker. I'm glad I could introduce you to some new films and television shows to enjoy, as well as revisit old favorites. It's always a pleasure to connect with fellow fans of classic cinema and television. Thanks again for your support! You have absolutely made my day! xxxx
Wonderful. He was good in cameo roles too. I really like the episode of Some Mothers Do 'Ave 'Em, where he interviews Frank Spencer for a salesman's job. Hilarious. And you can see him struggling not to laugh. This episode also has brief appearances by the beautiful Linda Hayden, who's happily still alive! X
He was! I thought he was so good when he was younger - and just kept getting better really - a brilliant actor - I haven't seen the Some Mothers Do Ave Em episode with him - or having said that its possible I have but it was so long ago and I'm always watching films and old television - but I don't recall it! I shall see if I can find it - Linda Hayden was amazing - she worked with Diana Dors in Baby Love xxx
@@BeautifulBadandBizarre I've seen Baby Love. Controversial, and a great film. Have you seen 'Deep End'? Diana a small part in that. XX
Lovely voice, lovely Lady, great video.
Like the way you do the one's other people have not done, many thanks.
Thank you so much - I only do people I’m genuinely interested in/passionate about ❤️🥰 thank you for watching!
Loved I Claudius and obviously Tread Softly Stranger. He was a handsome bloke in his day. Nice he kept working x
Very handsome!!! He kept that twinkle in his eye into old age too! ❤️❤️❤️
Lovely video. Looking forward to catching up on all your others. Many thanks
Thank you so much! ❤️❤️❤️
“Arrange the pieces that you are given.”-Virginia Wolff
❤️🌹
@@BeautifulBadandBizarre Thank you-always one of my favorite quotes. It really came true to me this year when my husband died. I was left with a lot of pieces and spend my days trying to put them back together. Enjoyed your video: I’m an American who watches British mysteries all the time and I especially liked DCI Wexford!
@@QueenBee-gx4rp it’s a beautiful quote and very inspirational ❤️ I’m so sorry to hear you lost your husband and so recently too 🌹 such a painful time x
Thank you so much for watching the video - I too love watching detective mysteries and DI Wexford was such a great character ❤️🌹
@@BeautifulBadandBizarre Thank you, losing your soulmate of 40 years is like being hit by a truck. But all these great shows from Britain have helped me get through the long evenings….keeps my mind occupied. Wish they could discover a whole new bunch of Wexford mysteries!
I’m glad our shows are helping - 40 years is both a long time and yet no time at all ❤️ We do have some good old fashioned mysteries - I know what you mean about discovering new unseen episodes of Wexford! I am a huge fan of an old British series called Public Eye - with Alfred Burke playing Frank Marker - I’ve seen every episode several times over - can’t get enough of it - wish they discovered a whole unseen batch of episodes too! 🌹
Ahhh the lovely George Baker, your so detailed about his life, thank you! Bardo.....Lucky man! And lucky lady lol
Your thorough researching is very apparent, you gave such a lot of info that others don't.
Thanks
Thank you so much for your kind words! I'm glad you enjoyed the video! It's a pleasure to share such fascinating stories with fellow enthusiasts like you who genuinely love the actors, actresses, and entertainers of a bygone era! 😊 For me George was one of the best! and yes.... and they were both very lucky indeed 😊😊 lol xxxxx
Like most of us of a certain vintage I remember George Baker well. I especially liked the Wexford TV series. This was centred in and around Romsey in Hampshire. My brother who lives nearby often found a street or place off limits for filming. Thank you yet again.
It was a brilliant series! For me George was absolute perfection with Dors in Tread Softly ❤️❤️❤️ I’ve watched it a thousand times and never get bored of it 🤭
Thank you so much for watching! X
I remember him as the Emperor Tiberius in ‘I, Claudius’ even further back.
I had no idea of George's life before Wexford. Maybe because I'm in Australia. I thoroughly enjoyed the Inspector Wexford series and would love to see it re-run on our ABC.
He had a superb career - loved him as Wexford! Thank you so much for watching xx
life.......

Thank you Doe! I love George too! Thank you so much for watching xxxx
Saw George in Midsomer Murders a few weeks ago he was very good
I love him in Midsomer Murders! He was a great actor ❤️
Fantastic. Really enjoyed learning about George, he was a superb actor 👍
Thank you so much! Glad you enjoyed the video! I’m crazy about George 🤭 he was amazing! 🥰
Thank you.
You’re welcome ❤️
Thank you for a beautifully done video and tribute to George and for showing us his last resting place. As an eleven year old in 1958, he was my hero in and as THE MOONRAKER, in which he starred with Sylvia Syms, who recently left us. They are reunited now in heaven. He was The Fastest Sword Alive and could take on half a dozen Roundheads at once and send them all packing. I do wish I could have met him and talked to him before he left us.
Thank you so much for posting this video. A recent new fan of George Baker. Just started watching Inspector Wexford and am hooked!
You're welcome, thank you so much for watching
I didn't know much about George Baker, just the inspector Wexford character. Such a sad story. Yet again thankyou shar for another informative,interesting video x
You’re so welcome Zoe! Thank you for watching! George was always one of my favourite Diana Dors leading men! He had such charisma and there was a real spark between them - they were friends for over 40yrs ❤️
@@BeautifulBadandBizarre that's another interesting fact. I honestly love your videos, so well Informed zx
I remember George in the James Bond film the spy who loved me in 1977
He almost became James Bond! I think he’d have made an awesome Bond! ❤️
thank you very much for all the information on george baker, love him and his partner burden, i did not know anything about the actor just got to know inspector wexford and i love it!
My absolute pleasure! I adored George - he was such a great actor and by all accounts from everything I've read, a very interesting personality that so many people loved! Thank you so much for your lovely comment and for watching the video - it's very appreciated xxxx
Great video thanks for sharing 🌹🙏
Thank you so much - I have a real soft spot for George! xx
Loved Ruth rental
❤️❤️❤️
I remember him in “Voyage into the Dark” a made for TV production.
Oh I’ve not seen that! X
Voyage almost impossible to track down as a credit but it made such an impression on me that I read the book
I think many of the older stars are in more films than they were credited for - that takes some serious time and research to find such appearances - so always very exciting when you hear about films like this! Thank you!
Hi great as usual (as a Graphic Designer for 35 years I understand the effort you put in I now work in care in and support the past 9 years). Please continue. with your great videos. Mark x
Thank you for your comment and for watching
Great upload
Full of facts and very interesting.

A wonderful and enlightening video Shar, as always. Many thanks.
Thank you so much Shaun and thanks for watching! Xxxx

LOOKING FORWARD TO YOUR NEXT VIDEO TAKE CARE
R I P GEORGE 🙏
Thank you so much Margaret! X I’m a huge fan of George and he was friends with Diana Dors for over 40yrs! That makes me love him even more 🤭 Thank you for watching xxxx
@@BeautifulBadandBizarre YOUR WELCOME KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK 👍
Thank you 🥰🥰🥰❤️
Love your videos so much,informative and respectful.
George is excellent in the Paul Temple episode Games People Play from 1970 , which is on CZcams.
All the best from The Isle Of Wight.❤️
The Isle of Wight is my most favourite place in the world!!! Thank you so much for your lovely comment! George was a very talented actor ❤️
That picture you have got with him with Una Stubbs and one of the most famous actor from Britain todays mum .
❤️🌹
Was in 2 Bond films (On Her Majesty's Secret Service and The Spy. Who Loved Me).
He was - there was also talk of him being a potential for James Bond himself!
@@BeautifulBadandBizarre Ironically he did "play" him in OHMSS, as he would dub George Lazenby when Bond impersonates his character Sir Hilary to get into Blofeld's secret base.
Thanks for that 👍🏻
My pleasure! Thank you for watching! x
Rest in peace
❤️
In his youth he certainly had a wonderful head of hair didn't he? Personally I thought Diana Dors was hot potatoes after seeing her in a film with Victor Mature. Woo Woo! She was perfect for the black and white silver screen film noir. It was the 1957s "Long Haul." That truly is a peaceful lovely cemetery. RIP all there.
🤣🤣🤭 he did!!! He was beautiful 🥰 Oh my goodness!!! The Long Haul - much underrated - it’s such a good film it deserves more attention! Diana was simply stunning - and very much in love with Tommy Yeardye at the time - Victor’s stuntman! Thank you for watching the video - it’s a lovely village and the church and cemetery are very pretty x
I wonder if George got lucky with Diana as well as Bardot..🤩
@@fus149hammer5 😂😂😂 well - from what I understand - no he didn’t but not for want of trying lol
@@BeautifulBadandBizarre I'm liking him more by the minute.
🤣🤣🤣🤣 they were dancing - I think it was 1956 in Cannes - and George said he pressed his leg against Diana’s and she told him he could pack that in - it was rude 🤣🤣🤣
I love your work. All of your videos I have watched and been well researched and so interesting. George Baker is one of my favourite actors, it is nice to learn more about him.
Thank you so very much for your lovely comment and for watching the videos! I appreciate it! George Baker was fabulous! ❤️
Thankyou for the video,I’m really enjoying your channel.
Thank you so much for your lovely comment and for watching! I’m so glad you are enjoying the videos ❤️

Thank you too! and thank you so much for watching!
I am surprised that many of the grave stones a very understate very basic some of them I would have thought they would be more elaborate for the star that they were regards john
Long career.....he had the series New tricks was broadcasted in italy years ago the la7
Yes it’s so lovely to see any actor with a long career and live to a decent age - heartbreaking when they pass away so young xxx I also loved New Tricks! X
Was dennis waterman in that series
He was along with one of my favs the lovely Amanda Redman x
@@BeautifulBadandBizarre the silver screen after the war was a great era for actors and actress
I wonder why, he ended up with his second wife? He was great in Minder... where he played a villain who captured Arthur, haha!! SADLY, I have too many regrets'... can't shake them!
This thought crossed my mind - I did think that perhaps it was his wishes and/or that he had made the arrangements at the time of her death - as many people do when they lose a partner. George was indeed a brilliant actor! xxxxx
Tread softly was filmed in Parkgate iron and steel works Parkgate Rotherham.
It was about a wages robbery.
S D WILDRIDGE. Rotherham sth Yorkshire.
Yes that’s correct - I’ve been to the pub in Rotherham were some scenes were filmed but interestingly Diana Dors never went there.
It was filmed at PARKGATE near Rotherham, not Halifax
But keep up the good work of remembering our lost stars xx
I Claudius madjick
He ws a wonderful actor! xxxx
😅
❤️
So basically Mr Baker was selfish, self serving, and arrogant , like so many in show business.
🤭 well I wouldn’t like to say- I think he was pretty amazing!
My late mam met George Baker in Frome where i live when he was suporting the local Labour Party candidate a few years ago she said he was a lovely chap to speak to not just about politics.
He had a proper twinkle in his eye! I bet he was lovely to talk to! ❤️
Great
Thank you x
Well I never! Dam busters is one of my fave films filled with great actors and I never knew George Baker played Dave Maltby. You’ve taught me something Shar
It’s a fantastic film!!! One of Dave Maltby’s colleagues that George remained friends with always called George Dave thereafter because he said he looked so much like Dave Maltby! I never thought about it before but after I heard that I totally saw it! X
