    Yet another immensely talented, truly wonderful, humble gentleman overlooked in terms of proper recognition by his country. Why on earth wasn't he SIR Peter? No, we save such accolades for blokes who kick balls around a pitch, drive cars fast or get elected and profit from lies and deceit......

    I never realized just how truly sweet Peter Cushing was. A genuine, bona fide sweetheart...

    A commenter once said that Peter Cushing and Christopher Lee were the great "bromance" of the 20th century and I, for one, cannot find a flaw in that statement.
    God Bless Peter and Chris!

    Was there anyone Peter Cushing didnt work with? He worked with so many huge stars but he himself was the biggest and brightest star of all. There will never again be anyone like The Cush.

      I saw a great behind the scenes shot recently from House of the Long Shadows, of the Lees, Cushing and I think an older female cast member. Peter was lightly tapping young Christina Lee on the shoulder, seemingly encouraging her to look at the camera/sit up straight. Very much the uncle. :)

    A lovely tribute to Peter Cushing. One of the most under rated British actors. Ridiculous that he did not receive an OBE until he was 76. Lovely comments by Christopher Lee and John Mills. Brings back great memories of all those wonderful Hammer Horror films. A brilliant Sherlock Holmes and his performance in 1984 is captivating. Pure class and a really nice guy.

    Peter Ustinov was honestly a shocker...I knew they had worked together, but never realized they were "fly in from Paris to be part of this is your life episode" levels of close.

      The lovely thing too is unlike some other past show buisness stars is that he had no skeletons in his closet. He seems just 100% real, thoughtful and charming and really dedicated to his art.

    One of the best english actors. Always love a good Peter Cushing film. I know he missed he wife terribly and it seemed his life wasn't the same without her. A great human being.

    Finally managed to sit through the 2nd half of this lovely tribute to Peter. Lots of dust in my eyes throughout the show, makes one’s eyes water, continually. What a wonderful gracious kind talented generous gentle man Peter was. I used to say in the 80s if I ever won the Pools, as was, and you could meet anybody you liked, to be presented with your million pounds cheque, I always said Peter Cushing. I wouldn’t have known what to say, but just to be in his presence would have been amazing. He’s reunited with Helen now, and as at 2024 it’s been thirty years since he fully left this world. Now Peter and Helen are together for eternity ✨ ❤

    Christopher Lee and Peter Cushing were the best of friends. When Peter died just 4 years after this broadcast, Christopher's family said he was so distraught , he felt a major piece of him died along with Peter. He became withdrawn and was never the same again until his own death in 2015, reuniting the 2 best mates in heaven.

    • @hcu4359
      @hcu4359 Před rokem +3

      Lee didn't have a brother of his own, and Cushing's older brother supposedly married a woman who really didn't like having an actor in the family, so to me it always seemed like the two actors adopted each other as brothers instead.

    • @childrenofminervaofficial4316

      For Sir Christopher, losing both Vincent Price AND Peter Cushing within less than a year of each other was a double-whammy.

    You always knew when Peter Cushing was in a horror film it was time to hide behind the sofa. There will never be another one like our very own Peter Cushing. Thank you so very very much Peter for all your incredible fantastic films. And they really are so good and that's why I've got every single one of them. Thank you Peter Thank you my very good friend.

    why did they wait until the poor angel was near his death. What a perfect example of a gentleman, with the emphasis on "gentle". There's certainly nobody like him anymore tragically.

    • @hcu4359
      @hcu4359 Před rokem +1

      He supposedly said for years that if the show tried to surprise him, he would walk out. 1990 was when the show was talking about doing it and Bernard Broughton (one of Cushing's caretakers) talked the actor into it with the backing of some of Cushing's friends, including Mr. Gray (who we met in the previous part). So basically, he had to fake being surprised.
