Claude J Greengrass was hilarious, I loved his nervous twitch when he knew he was doing something mischievous. Bill Maynard made him into such a loveable rogue of a character.
Bill was magnificent in Heartbeat great lines and terrific humar Bill was Heartbeat you never get tired of watching him even reruns of Heartbeat the best
He was great, full of character he was, sadly missed. I noticed alot of the Heartbeat DVDs, particularly the later series are quite expensive to buy, but that doesn't bother me as I prefer the Nick Berry series couldn't stand the later series with Vernon, Bernie and David, plus I think I have nearly every single original broadcast on tape anyway:). I will try and upload another interview with Bill on GMTV which was in 1994, but the tape recording is very jumpy; I have it on my computer but it's too unwatchable to upload so I'll have to get round to doing a better capture (hopefully a good video will be able to track it). I will also upload another GMTV interview with Nick Berry where he is on location in Canada for that Heartbeat special he did in 1998.
@@Embracing01 hi m8 thanks for commenting back like yer I love watching these little interviews on Gmtv yer they are great to watch my favourite heartbeat episodes are series 1 to 10 all the ones with greengrass in because he left heartbeat half way though series 10 great actor really was will definitely be missed ive actually met him at a country music festival years a go he turned up at Sapcote in is car but no dog with him lol yes I brought all my heartbeat dvds of line some years a go now all different prices cost me a fortune to get them all but well worth the money luck forward to seeing any more videos if you happen to upload any in time its hard when the videos are very old for the picture to be good thats how vhs tapes was wasant it the nick Berry video in Canada one you mentioned ive got that is on one of the series of heartbeat dvds I've watched that one ok
@@andrewcrouch2362 No worries, I can talk loads about Heartbeat, me and my late father were big fans of the show and we used to watch and tape all the episodes, even when I lost interest in the series after Greengrass left my dad continued to watch it as he loved the show being set in the 60s, the main appeal for him being the classic cars, the steam trains, that beautiful NYM countryside and the music. We were glued to HB throughout the 90s and we would often travel all the way from Lancashire to Otley where they filmed the police station and police house and to Goathland with the intention of trying to catch them filming but we never got very lucky apart from one occasion in June 1996 where we watched them filming scenes at the police house where Nick meets his London pal Errol after he's done a runner. But apart from that (and two occasions in 2008) that's the only time we got lucky. There was also one time when my dad got wind of Bill Maynard being at the hotel at the back of the Aidensfield garage, but he was gutted when he got there that he had just missed him and he'd gone back up to his room. Glad you liked the video, will try and upload the other one hopefully soon. The other video about Nick Berry in Canada also features an interview with him in the GMTV studio before he started filming Harbour Lights.
@@Embracing01 thanks for getting back to me that's a god damn shame your dad just missed him and he went back up to him room shame that yes ill keep an eye out for when you upload any other videos cheers
@@andrewcrouch2362 Just uploaded another two Heartbeat related videos, one with Nick Berry in the GMTV studio, and the other of Bill Maynard on GMTV in about 1994 (managed to get a better transfer of it this time). I will also try and upload the GMTV Canadian special behind the scenes which was shown in Jan 1998, but I will have to edit it slightly to remove any music that may get a copyright strike from YT. I also have a Family Fortunes special where they have a few cast HB cast members vs Peak Practice, but the rec is only partly on, plus I think there's a 10 Years of Heartbeat special I have, but that's probably already on YT somewhere.
❤Loved to see you in Heartbeat. Sad that you are not longer with us. 😢 You were spot on when you acted as Greengrass. I have laughed so much when you said your lines with a twinkle in the eyes and I still do laugh... ☺ Now I can see Heartbeat again on Cmore. ❤
He was great and so was Heartbeat but not the later series IMO, just went on too long, too much silliness, boring characters and PCs, not enough of that realistic 1960s feel, awful acting by the guest actors (well I suppose it's always been like that from day one) and no Greengrass or Nick. I've seen a few old TV guide reviews of the show back in the day where the likes of the Radio and TV Times seemed to hate it for some reason. I'd rather watch HB than all the modern morbid, wrist slitting crap that's on TV now, most of it is just pure propaganda and mind control. Yes HB was corny and the 60s was probably not really like that even in a small North Yorkshire village, but it was something you watch and enjoy without having woke crap shoved in your face.
and you watch that last episode and he is virtually sat in every scene whether he's in the truck or not i don't know i expect its a double because long shot and the pub scene he's on a bar stool. probably the pub scene was filmed first. unless he can get upon a bar stool.
Did the female presenter get a word in edge ways No, Homes took over the whole interview. she just set their smiling & noding thinking Eamon shut the F up & let me have a word with Bill please! . shocking behaviour back then & was allowed that men took the shows over 😮 bill was an amazing Actor & boy could he sing . He was the Hart in HARTBEAT ❤👏
@@Embracing01 David Jason is anyone on the tv has to be have a good look at alan titsmarch nigel havers etc when they are on etc etc Nick Berry from illuminati capital london most probably was you have to be to get on tv the aidensfield arms pub even has a masonic satanic symbol on the wall

He was a great actor, not just the heartbeat series, there was other stuff he did and was just as good in those. RIP Bill Maynard.
I've recently had my first exposure to Claude Greengrass of Heartbeat--wonderful series and wonderful actors including Bill Maynard!
Bill was magnificent in Heartbeat great lines and terrific humar Bill was Heartbeat you never get tired of watching him even reruns of Heartbeat the best

Rip mr greengrass you was part of my childhood and I always feel English watching you old boy
LEGEND
He was gold!
wonderful wonderful actor...
Great actor... Such a sad loss..
Loved him and Alfred. ❤

The characters of Greengrass in Heartbeat and Festus Haggen in Gunsmoke have become my absolute heroes! 🤠🤠
Loved the input from the female presenter.
Last of the real men 👌
I just couldn't watch it once Bill left the show
Me too. It just went really downhill after he left. far too many silly moments ruined it for me, Vernon Scripps wasn't a patch on Greengrass.
We could BUT IT WAS NOT THE SAME 😥

Eamon Holmes is has false as ever interviewing this fine Actor.
Aw, working with Megs Jenkins again. I never noticed before.

Loved Bill. Can't say much for the really stupid questions put to him in the interview though
shame about that masonic pinky ring bill
I'm not necessarily disagreeing you, but what makes you think it's a masonic ring?.
@@Embracing01 you have to be one to work on tv and a ring on a pinky finger hello
@@pauldawson3751 So would Nick Berry have been a mason?. If there is a British actor that is a mason it's David Jason.

Bill was a thru Gentleman and a class act in Heartbeat he made the show RIP
