I love Roald's books, and loved learning about his writing process & life (& listening to his calm voice). If there's an ad, it's because a part might be claimed by BBC or something. Hope you enjoy this!:)
sleepynomi well said.
@@sleepynomi coz it was normal back then geez
@@condensedmilk No it was not. He kept being an anti semite until his death in 1990. It most definetly was not "normal", ever since WW2 atleast.
And something being "normal" for their time does not justify it.
We need to remember the flaws of people from the past, not sweep it under a rug and pretend it doesnt exist.
@Condensed Milk please go outside and think about your choices, defending antisemites in youtube comments isn't a great look
Leahcim naerc dude I read all of this hoping to bash you and you are joking... BRUH!
Seeing him walk into and settle down in this tiny, dirty little hut where he wrote all the books from my childhood...was almost a religious experience.
I’m overcome , religious experience puts it mildly.
Simple actions and routine.
Life changing outcomes for countless others for years to come.
Imagine that being your outcome for your routine in what you do.
I honestly can't believe that he wrote all of those amazing books, sitting in that chair, with a pencil and paper. Absolutely brilliant.
I didn’t realize this dude is responsible for most of the books and movies that shaped my childhood
@@anthonyvera8524 0:30
yea i thought I heard of the name
Bruh
Here in England it is essential during primary school to read his books and almost everyone will dress up as a Dahl character during World Book Day [that is if you are not in a Hogwarts gown]
That's not even the most interesting thing about him, in the years after WW2 he worked for the british secret service as a pillow spy, sleeping with russian ambassador's wives/secretaries and learning secrets for the british government
This guy was a British spy during the war. He's lived a life none of us will ever remotely be able to experience
He also really hated Jews, like, a lot.
@@auctoritate8254 Did he? Darn. That's unfortunate
Stetson Graham no one cares bruh
@Novak Ingood Oh well that definitely isn't anti semitism in my book
I've read his autobiography and he never talks about being a spy, just a pilot during the war, are you sure that's correct?
I actually didn't find this too relaxing because it was so damn interesting.
Ended up with the same problem 😂🤣
Ditto
Bro, he got his hip bone lying around outside his body
@SharkTank Bruh why? Lol
I'd keep it too.
@@BabsChannel I'd make a soup broth out of it
@@kevinchenr
*yummy*
That would be neat just to have something that was in your body for most of your life to have outside and whatnot
He was a quiet man, a writer. An author mostly at that time.
I see what you’ve done there
DIO!
Ah, a man of culture, I see.
Ahh yes, John Butler reference
@@jaytheartman610 it was me, Dio!
What an eccentric fellow... keeps his hip on the table next to his spinal shavings for *fun* 🤣 legend
That's nothing, in WW2 he was a secret agent for Britain, a real life James Bond.
@@charleyzimmer2505 dude did so much things, I admire the man
Why did that part make me want hip surgery for the sole purpose of having my own hip bone-desk ornament
That hut is so cosy
@A Fridge Too Far imagine the smell after smoking for 4 hours every day for like 40 years.
Why does this documentary open like a Wes Anderson movie
because Wes Anderson's style is mostly influenced by old stuff like this?
Fantastic Mr Fox
Because Wes Anderson isn't as original as people think
@@LordVader1094 he has obvious influences but he's still a very original director
Yuusss!
If this channel has taught me one thing, it is that real asmr is always unintentional.
Truth. I literally can’t stand the role playing and the forced sounds.
Natural ASMR is best ASMR
The real ASMR was the friends we made along the way
@@zacharywood9416 r/cursed
Its also interesting that older films and documentaries often do it better
In norway we learn about him alot in school
Same in Wales we have Roald Dahl day where kids dress up in costume of their favourite characters from his books. My primary also done Roald Dahl themed lunch on those days
I think when I read The Witches as a kid was the first time I’d ever heard of Norway. I wasn’t sure if it was a real place.
Same in England to be fair
Same here in New Zealand, the other side of the world
Wow
When I was a child I owned cassettes of his stories, read by him. He has a wonderful voice 🙂
Same! I had Fantastic Mr Fox and The Magic Finger.
The most! And in both senses of the word too.
People don't live at this pace anymore.
I do :D I like a peaceful life and writing process
Old people do
Yes, probably why they don't achieve anything worthwhile.
In cities no but in the country maybe
I feel like this is my dream way of living. Maybe not the 5 years of dirt on the floor though 😂
Anyone else not heard that sound of the electric pencil sharpener in years, but it sounds the same as you always remembered?
Like it was only yesterday I last used it. ❤️
I just realized how much Roald Dahl looks like a British Hector Salamanca...
Accurate
He looks like an English Mr Lahey from TPB
Lol You beat me to it.
I thought the same thing just looking at the thumbnail
Lmao yeah he does hahaha
The fact that he has his own bones as trinkets makes him the biggest badass in the world
Absolute Madlad
The way he talks about children's concentration and attention span is exactly how parents these days talk about it. Nothing to do with technology, children are just naturally more curious and fidgety.
I do think technology did have an effect
@@Joseph-mf3yi tech is making people smarter and more efficient
Bro have you maintained eye contact with someone under the age of 30 for more that 15 seconds? That’s tech right there, scrolling through Instagram and tik tok for 6 hours a day isn’t making any body smarter or more efficient.
@@mrpiepantsmcgee tech is all around you, it's in the foods and drinks, in education, in transport, in daily activities. I didn't say social media... you can pin point one specific part o it if you want but that's just avoiding my point. Cheers
@@Joseph-mf3yi You can think that, but you'd be wrong
This dude who sits in a dirty hut and keeps his own bones for shits and giggles writes children's fiction. Don't judge a book by its cover...
He dedo you know
@@gerrardjones28 no shit Sherlock
I don’t understand your comment at all lol. Are you dissing him cause of his writing space where he’s written some of the most successful children’s stories of all time?
Books are usually sold by the appeal of their covers.
@Jay S. I’m not sure you know what the saying “no shit Sherlock” means...
Way too interesting to fall asleep too
So that means that somewhere on this earth, someone, somewhere, inherited a piece of Roald Dahl’s hip
This mans books were my literal childhood so this is very comforting
Roald Dahl helped develop a valve to treat hydrocephalus (excess fluid in the brain) called the wade-dahl-till valve. He lead a remarkable life. His books are a big part of British culture. Especially for children. Great stories always with a slightly dark sense of humour to them. His other short stories are well worth a read also.
I love how weird writers are.
@@MrHarrystank "All I want to do is for people to see what I see, to understand why I am different, to be able to understand my reality."
Most people sees themselves as different from others and think themselves weird in one way or another. There isn't really a big difference between artists and "regular" people. Many also finds themselves in times of depression, anxiety and dread. One of our greater qualities today, is that we as a society recognize that those thoughts and feelings can envelop everyone at anytime.
Most of what you describe that seem to divide us, I see as the things we actually have in common.
I hesitate to use your word creatives, because you find those people in all facets of life. The eccentric professor can be creative in a way that are so foreign to the painter and vice versa. Is it still their creativity that makes them both not conform or fit in with the rest of us? Or is it that the most passionate people, that do their craft because it is life to them, are the one that excel the most in their fields? The ones we notice, that stands out from the rest?
Where is the normal athlete? They are hard to find, even though more numerous. It is those who give it all to the sport that you hear about, not the average ones.
Artists are no different from the rest of us. It is simply just that if you look at something exceptional, it tends to come from someone exceptional. It is not artists that are weird and different, it is that artist and that is why we are noticing them. But as I said, you can find this all over. Look at the top of every field and profession, there you will see the same group of people that don't fit in with the norm. The ones with different views, ideas and work ethic.
Usually very smart people are weird or out of place.
Most successful people are.
Weird people are the best
@@Miskitty Agree!!!
Life seems to have a weird synchronicity. I put the TV on this morning and I managed to get Sky Arts up on my freeview and Roald Dhal was narrating, and this then turned up in my recommendation. Serendipity.
Or your phone was listening and took key words from your tv.
@@FrostBlackbird happens with ads, kinda dystopic
@@FrostBlackbird Unless your computers and phones can also read minds... which is scarier. I've had the internet make suggestions for me when I wasn't anywhere near my phone or not even talking about something I was thinking about looking up and had it appear in ads and stuff. Creepy.
@@darkhorsed Yeah, Big Brother is watching you (same as it ever was). ;)
Brit here. This was lovely to watch just for the info on Dahl as much as ASMR. What a lovely find. I must say, yes it’s all British accents, but trust me, very few Brits actually talk like the presenter or even Dahl nowadays. I love hearing 70s and 80s voices, as it is so surprising how much they have changed in such a relatively short period of time. The only person who talks like this now is Jacob Reese Mogg and I think he’s probably actually a ghost (ghoul). :)
Its interesting isn't it, how voices seem to be in the 70s and 80s. One of my favourite broadcasters did a series that was full of people who for the most part spoke like this.
The aristocracy and the Brits who own land abroad might have the accent.
I have found Brits who now live in Greece who sound antique.
Dumas also had a “writing hut” at the bottom of his garden, to escape domestic realities at his chateau, so as to be able to work... he made his own however look like a romantic castle, from the outside.
I've watched half this video and I'm still unsure what his face actually looks like
It looks like a face to me...
@@ferjusto Shut it Talos
@@willis32 back to the oblivion planes with you foul beats!
Maybe his face was blurry and 144p
This guy looks, sounds and lives exactly how I hoped he would and it puts a smile on my face.
Just remember. This man was a pilot during WW2. Rest in peace Roald
Love his chilled out eccentricity. It comes through in his writing . He understands kids so well
Sorry to correct a genius but the quote "When I am dead, I hope it may be said: His sins were scarlet, but his books were read." - Hilaire Belloc. Not Oscar Wilde.
I tip my hat to your intellectualism ;)
Both were anti-semitic. Not that I care obviously
@@AdolfStalin Yeah cause you're the illegitimate son of Hitler and Stalin
@austin M I already know this
@austin M men in funny hats can be blamed for just about everything _wrong_ with shit today
If only George RR Martin wrote for four hours a day.
If only George RR Martin wrote most days at all.
He writes?
I hope to fuck he finishes it. The tv series ended so goddamn horrendously that he HAS to finish it.
@@darkwizard2651 >He HAS to finish it
>Finishes it exactly like the TV series
Be honest, how mad would you be?
Treads wouldn’t even be mad. Just devastated. Another stab in the heart man. Devastation and disappointment.
Okay listen. I am a high school English teacher, and I ALWAYS teach my FAVORITE short story, "Lamb to the Slaughter." He is a children's author, but read some of his adult stuff!
He could be properly scary when he wanted. You find that a lot with children's authors if they try out horror or thriller writing.
Always remember reading that in school! I still remember it 18 years ago! Great short story!
i remember reading a book of his short stories, one being the wonderful story of henry sugar and it was quite haunting!
@@AtheAetheling That's it, except he went the other way really. He first became adept at writing adult stories with dark and nasty twists, then parlayed that skill into creating a bunch of the most loved and remembered children's stories ever written because, it turned out, children are thrilled by that kind of darkness and nastiness too.
I read it in school and I love it so much
This was so interesting! I loved Roald’s books as a child, and seeing his writing process just makes me feel a little bit more connected to him. A true national treasure!
I remember watching this back in school, I think the teacher showed it to us because we where reading one of his books at the time, god it must’ve been late 80’s.
i had a CD of Roald Dahl reading fantastic mr fox that i listened to all the time as a child, i always thought he had such a relaxing voice
Yaaaaay this was my recommendation! So happy to see it come to life on a channel I love so much!
Roald Dahl keeps his own hip bone in his writing hut "for fun"
“ this is my hip bone”
Seeing him in this intimate space with him kicking his feet up, put me right into comfort mode!
One of the most important people from my childhood. Absolutely adore this man and his work
I remember watching a VHS documentary about dahl as a child and always used to get tingles when we set up in his shed, great memories brought back with this video thanks for sharing!
This man is like a god to me. I’m amazed he seemed so down to earth.
Incidentally , I came here on the ASMR route but he’s so bloody interesting I just watched in awe 😂
That writing place he arranged for herself is brilliant.
Im addicted at this asmr video of Roald Dahl. So relaxing and interesting in the same time. I'm a fan of the book Matilda. What a legend this Sir !
this was lovely, thank you for uploading.
I read many of his books when I was a child and it was a memory I can't replace
This is quite relaxing! Thank you for the tingles, UASMR!
I grew up reading this man's books, God bless your soul Roald Dahl.
Wow, I never knew about this guy. What a wonderful, charming man.
Writing Hut = Man Cave
that man has steered the ship of his life through many a storm and won every time...man it was a treat to watch
Anyone realise what he was brushing away, landed in his cup of coffee
Rickle- _-Pick omg 😂😂
Extra flavor
Incredible video not only soothing but it's fascinating his entire process. Love his knick knacks hip bone incredible
I love this! He was a great author. I’ve never seen a video of him! Too cool
Now! This gentleman is absolutely astounding and brilliant and I love his personality and work. He is an inspiration to me along with my musical inspirations of The Beatles! This life is very generous if you consider His contributions that enrich so many people’s lives through imagination and creativity! He is so inspirational ♥️
I just love this video! Great pick
He was eccentric and hilarious and genius! I love how he kept parts of his skeleton “just for fun” :) what a neat video
Thank you!
Thank you for a wonderful literary childhood. This is Gold.
I really hope Wes Anderson gets the work with more of Roald Dahl's material they really are the perfect match
I started this to get some tingles but 5mins in I’m sitting up at full attention watching this like a show 👀😂
That was very interesting, thanks for my child hood!
This was fantastic! Thank you for uploading this. I wish there was a "love" button. Excellent video. Thank you
I cannot believe that THIS is Rohald Dahl. Cant say I've thought a lot about what he was like/what he's living like, but cant say it was like this lmao. He's filthy rich yet still writes in an old chair in a shed that hasn't been cleaned in 5 years. Iconic
He wrote one adult book, and it remains one of my favorites. My Uncle Oswald. You won’t be disappointed.
@5,ooo LightYears Away *thumbs up
Wow, I love this interview. :)
I love roald Dahl he was my whole childhood. This is awesome
I enjoyed learning about this writer's process. Then I read the comments and was surprised, disappointed and sad to learn he was an antisemite. However, I strongly oppose trashing someone's work because of their sins.
Anyone can choose not buy his books, or read his books, or not have their children read them or see the movies that were made from them. I am so, so tired of other people making decisions for me.
The worst example of mob censorship is the removal of all of Garrison Keillor's work. Absolutely disgusting and spineless on the part of NPR - shame on them. And as I've said elsewhere, banning movies that portray minorities in stereotypical ways also means erasing the work of those actors and I also find that shameful.
We need to be open about these things, talk about them, learn from them, teach from them, but stop trying to erase history and art and human beings!
The line in the sand, drawn by people you currently agree with, keeps moving; someday you will find yourself on the wrong side of that line. I tell you, that's not what America was founded on (yes, yes, it was also founded on racism and "manifest destiny" - but also on basic freedoms). If we give in to such things, we end up like China.
@@fr_reynolds5002 I think you mean "biased," which is what prejudiced is, and he says himself in other interviews he was prejudiced against Jews, though I couldn't find out why he had such feelings and beliefs. Often, if you question someone about a prejudice, it's either something taught to them when they were children, or it's an experience with an individual or small group of people in their life that they have applied to all people who are that race, religion, gender, etc. I was physically assaulted by a work supervisor who is Black. It took me a long time to stop being afraid and angry towards Black men. So maybe something happened to this writer. I don't know, but it's a shame. All human beings have flaws, though.
Tiny hats have been corrupting and subverting nations and empires since Babylon. The synagogue of Saturn. It makes his books even more important to buy.
Garrison Keillor doesn't care much for Jews either.
@@wysoft I am very sorry to hear that. I really enjoyed his programs and his humor. I've never heard anyone say anything about him being prejudiced against Jews. At the same time, I do think he was treated like a scapegoat in the whole "me too" witch hunt. No one seems to have been concerned that 99 percent of the women claiming to have been "assaulted" were in the entertainment world, and many of them hadn't worked in a while. In their case, it was more of a "look at me too" movement... There are so many women in "the real world" who have been brutalized and truly assaulted that were not helped at all by the "me too" folks. And so many talented men - who should be embarassed and ashamed of their behavior (I'm thinking of Charlie Rose walking around in his underwear in front of his housekeeper) - were disproportionately punished. Clearly there is no loyalty in the entertainment world - look at how quickly these people were thrown under the bus. So much innocuous stuff was included under the umbrella of "assault" that should not have been, because it trivializes the real violence and abuse that goes on in the day to day world. I will have to do some research about Garrison Keillor in terms of anti-semetism. Again, I am sad to hear this.
@@HTNPSullivan Why are you so sorry to hear it whenever you discover someone has a less than neutral opinion regarding the Jews? Are you Jewish, or merely philosemitic and mildly bigoted with it?
The fact that he wrote them pencil-on-paper is so inspiring
So many good childhood memories
I love Roald Dahl, an amazing story maker. Wish I could have had the honour of meeting him, alas I wasn't in existence during his time alive😔
11:31 You can see the TWINKLE in his eyes and smile when he answered... That's the different between passion 🔥 and business 💲.
this is the man i looked up to for years when i was a child
I never realised how nice Roald Dahls voice was
Ronald Dahl is my favorite writer of all time. He raised me.
I've never actually seen a video of roald dahl, but I read his two books of his autobiography and he's really a very interesting man.
Thank you, this was very nice.
It looks so cozy
He was the king!
He's simply fabulous
this is beautiful
Fascinating.
I dont remember using an electric pencil sharpener since high school. A satisfying thing sharpening a pencil
Man keeps his own discarded body parts in his writing hut...😳
May need those parts later.
@@drvonschwartz hip bone could make a good snooker ball
That hut looks so cozy! (Besides the hip bone)
I love the thought of him trying to work and a goat bursting in and bumping its head into tables until he shoos it out
Oh this is the best!
What a charming, whimsical man
And by now, probably one of the most wildy read author of children's books in the entire WAHRLD
This guy is a genius. Legend
The goat droppings-dustpan bit is the most British thing I’ve ever heard.
Lovely :)
The hut I love’t wish to have like that’s so cool and realize he’s the person behind those books a reading wow 🤩🥰
He's too interesting and important to be mesmerized by :)
I love your voice xxx
0:19 entire wärld
IKR? twice... and then he says 'worldwide' almost completely normally
*_`: ?_*
I love his voice!!! I want to hear him reading The Witches!!
Still remember listening to him narrate fantastic mr fox
looks like Mr Lahey in the thumbnail.
Shitwinds
No it doesn’t
He looks like ME!
I think you mean the liquor.
😆
For anyone who’s interested, Biographics has an excellent video on Roald Dahl, the usual standard you’d expect from Simon Whistler, well worth watching to learn about the man.
