Saw him live around this time, was very funny. Despite Eastenders being a soap he really was a very good actor, it was a big show back then. Lovely to see him with all his family at the end of this.
He was too young to die. Only 67. He was great. Shirley is great as well. Bless her. I hope she's still alive and doing alright. Sad about their son Mark. RIP to father and son
I went to his son's manslaughter trial, I was actually there for the Jeremy Bamber case, but it was adjourned, my supervisor unfortunately witnessed his son's suicide, he did it on the front lawn outside her flat in Colchester, pouring petrol over himself, he lingered for days, a few month's later one of Mark's twin babies died suddenly. Terrible
Mike seemed to be a very nice down to earth guy whose fame didn’t go to his head. He was a superb stand up, actor and also had a decent singing voice. I enjoyed his autobiography. 👍
When he was appearing at the palladium he would come into the betting shop where I worked just off Carnaby St I said to him saw you on the T.V last night you told a very funny joke he proceeded to tell another one to us really nice guy.
used to love Runaround as a kid and he always made me laugh the way he spoke to the children, he also played Vernon in a episode of Minder (you need hands 1982) where Terry had got injured and Vernon was hired to replace him great character actor very funny guy
Hi there I love this interview they do with Eastenders. Can you upload more this is your life with Shaun Williamson who plays Barry please I really want to see full video. I will enjoy watching his one.
He was a fantastic guy. Wish he had of lived much longer & kept us laughing & crying in equal measure. We forget how good & talented Mike & his generation were & I for one miss these. The world has moved on but I don’t see that talent like there was once, epitomised by people like Mike… RIP Mike Read….❤️👍🇬🇧…
I've developed a slight obsession with the episode codenames on the VT clocks, which feature on most of the uploads on this channel. Some are really cryptic, but this one was easy enough. Took me a moment, but "Book" ... Read ... Reid.
Mike was simply superb. Smiling and humble, he was a pure gentleman. May he rest in peace. 😣
Well said
Well said great guy❤
He loved Pat so much!
He was a talentless unfunny racist.

Brilliant guy .

Mike Reid literally killed himself.
This is your life was so iconic back in the day. Now all we have nowadays is Wikipedia!
TV is obsolete, like printed news.
Shurrup
Loved Runaround. He was a bloody good actor too. He seemed a nice person
He was a talentless far right racist.
Thank you for the upload of This is your life. Please keep them coming.
yes love this videos! wish they would re show them on the telly
Mike seemed to be a very nice down to earth guy whose fame didn’t go to his head. He was a superb stand up, actor and also had a decent singing voice. I enjoyed his autobiography. 👍
He couldn't sing, he was openly racist, and he stole his "comedy" material from others.
They dont make 'em like Mike anymore. RIP fella.
Mike reminds me so much of my late stepdad. This is lovely to watch, thank you
There are still many racists.
Always made me laugh , I remember the episode of minder when he was a food connoisseur , hard man and driver, absolutely brilliant.
Vernon, brilliant character 😊
Great cameo!
You need hands.
Mike Reid total Legend

He was talentless, and he killed himself.
@@JamesRichards-mj9kw What a decent guy you are. Remind me not to reply to you..

A real comedy legend. ❤
Frank Carson "Not like you to ad lib "
Brilliant Mike Reid sadly missed
The man worked hard all his life to look after his family. Old school grafter.
I don't know all there names but he would have made a good London gangster's. Rest in peace to a good actor.

Little did we know at this point what Mike would go on to do with Barbara in eastenders. 2 legends
Mitchell brothers still look like they are about to kick off
We cant get these days back

6:12 such a shame what has happened to danniella westbrook now :(
A age when average men could get away with making a living off dirty jokes and nothing more
Can you enthral an audience mon ami ???
Appalling AI encoded video, Michael's face looks as if it's melting!
That's the most uncomfortable This is Your Life I've ever seen. Most of the people looked distressed or scared.
really ?
?
They dont make smelly breaths like they used to, what a honker
He abused his own son.
Proof?
I liked Mike Reid in Eastenders but as a comic he along with jimmy jones weren’t funny.
I couldn't stand his bullying attitude!
Eh? He was a genius
He was a crap actor snd comedian
Oh well.
Yet here you are
Whoever you are
At least he was only crap at 2 things then......... You are crap at everything 😂.
Never liked him vulgar and unfunny
Grim by name grim by nature.
Is that you Pat?

I remember watching this episode all those years ago. Cockneys are the absolute salt of the earth, the best of the best ❤
He was not a Cockney.
