michael bentine was the bloke from potty time to me,i had no idea about him prior to potty time.
- top man.
Me neither! He was funny and fun!
What a phenomenal man ,makes light of his vast talent and intelligence. Very humble for such a class act.
Michael, now that you've opened your door marked summer and passed through I hope you have found peace, and you've been reunited with your children.
What an absolute gentleman. Big fan when I was younger of Potty Time and I still am of the man himself.
MICHAEL WAS A GOOD MAN WITH A GOOD HEART AND HELPED PEOPLE

The man was a genius…. Brought me so much fun and memories from “Potty Time” after school.
I was just introduced to him by watching a 1970’s Johnny Carson show who had on Bob Hope as a guest who had a show called Bluffers in which Michael was cast as a news man trying to get access to an art gallery - absolutely brilliant comedy genius! Love him and can’t wait to find more.
I read his autobiography and his recollections of his Red Cross training are absolutely hilarious.
I'm reading them now and you are completely right.😊
I'm going to read it now
I thought this was Peter Sellers in the thumbnail.
Fascinating folks. American here and missed these guys until now.
I remember him from my childhood in the 70’s and onwards. I always liked him, his was funny, but there was a weight to him behind those sometimes sad eyes - later on I was always glad to see him interviewed, he was an interesting man who had a full life.
I was very small when 'Potty Time' aired but he made me laugh all the time.x
You can see his soul through his eyes, beautiful!
What wonderful person . We didn’t make enough of his talent and knowledge!
Remarkable man - fantastic interview and interviewer
One of my childhood heroes (and still is a hero of mine). Its a Square World was sheer brilliance.
Such a lovely funny man!!!
Love Michael, Great Soul/Spirit.
I saw his one man show a couple of times he was absolutely fascinating.
A real down to earth gentleman, So pleased to have worked with him in the 70's
Hello Anthony, that sounds like a wonderful opportunity. What was he like to work with. and what was it you worked on together?
@@RichardUsher Hello Richard thank for your question, How I got to work with Michael was that I was working as stage elecs at The Kings Theatre Southsea, It was only a one week show and from what i remember it was a variety show Michael was very friendly and very easy to get on with he was also very quiet person and to give you an idea of how kind he was he used to keep a bottle of water in the wings and he said to me a stage hand should you get thirsty just to help myself to his water. A man of very quick wit and also very clever.
what a marvellous chap, used to love the Goons. I never realized that Michael witnessed firsthand the horrors of Belsen concentration camp. That must have haunted him over the years.
There is (or , was.) A clip of him relating the moments the liberators entered Belsen. You can feel the horror coming off him.
Lovely man.
I used to run home from school to watch potty time
outstanding
What a beautiful interview. I have heard his and the other Goons stories many times. Spikes book, Hitler my part in his downfall is well worth a read. Don’t forget the Wiggly wobbly men.
Always after school watching "popeye & pals", I remember "Alice the Goon", she didnt speak words and was gigantic tall, i can still here popeye when she would come into view, "WHOAH !!!"
