I really feel for Mark holding back the tears as he visits his childhood home. Imagine going back to your own childhood home and it's exactly as it was! He must have been expecting his Dad to be in the house waiting for him. Great documentary, Great actor and a great son! Ollie would be proud!
Oliver Reed was a mighty actor. Screen presence off the charts! They should have given him an Oscar at last for Gladiator. Mark looks so much like his Dad. Rip Ollie
Absolutely love Oliver Reed. They threw away the mould when he was born. In all walk's of life, there truly are too many 5th rate nobody's. Oliver Reed was a very rare breed. An absolutely true LEGEND. Rip Oliver.
Oliver was a great actor and Mark is a credit to him. Mark clearly loved and still loves his Dad. Thank you for keeping your Dad's legacy alive, Mark and for sharing more of his human side.
Interesting documentary. My father worked extensively with Oliver Reed as the Producer on The Devils and Women in Love and always proclaimed that he was possibly one of Britain's greatest ever actors.
@@matimus100 That's a great question, i don't know. Can't think of anything relating to religion that he said. Time for some Googling! Or DuckDuckGoing.
Went to see him in Oliver in London was only 8 yrs old had a crush on him all my life ,And eventually got my bullterrier at 25 yrs old , and lived on the next island to him in the channel islands, was one of a kind in movies and in real life
I SAW SEVERAL MOVIES I LIKED OLIVER REED IN. THE JOKERS. EVEN THE STING. BUT I AM CONVINCED OLIVER REED'S BILL SYKES WAS, AND STILL IS, IN 2018, 50 YRS ON, THE GREATEST VILLIAN PORTRAYAL OF ALL TIME!. THIS DOCO IS JUST A GLIMSE OF AN EXCELLENT ACTOR. THANKS FOR POSTING THIS.
I love Oliver Reed great actor. I went several times to his movies. Really enjoyed, Sitting Target. The Devils .The Hunting Party. Etc. Those where the days they made real movies. I do miss them. Thanks for the video.
I ran a nightclub in St Peter Port in Guernsey. Oliver used to come in occasionally with a few friends, very late at night. My door man beat him arm wrestling and Ollie took out an entire page in the Guernsey press to announce the fact. Very noticeable presence.
He was a great actor and I loved listening to his story's a true British legend and to many interviewers concentrating on his drinking he was much much more than that even tho that was part of who he was a true wildman gentleman rip ollie
A fine actor, always looking to stretch him self artistically with his great versatility in his performances and acting roles,...acted with honesty and an energy that made him captivating in front of the camera , and believable in all he portayed.....a truly wonderful actor, and one of life's great characters.....
He has the same soft spoken refined voice as his dad. I remember the Hall was featured about 1976 on the news program Nationwide with Val Singleton who was thrilled when being kissed by Ollie.
I love how Oliver was so awesome he decided to straight-forward clone himself instead of breeding, just to make sure as much as possible of his coolness would have lived on.
It must have been amazing having a dad like that being able to talk about huge mansions and acres and knowing you where on his mind the whole time he was famous
He was an amazing highly magnetic person. And of course a great actor. Loved him in just about everything and with Diana Rigg in The Assasination Bureau he was terrific!
I knew Gerald Kingsland circa 1994 his sons were great Gerald was a complete eccentric convinced Himself He could create a perpetual motion machine with a bicycle wheel some shaped fiber glass and some water, It was fun watching him build it and fail and then try again...He didn't make one work but it was a blast in his company and His Family.
He never really gave a sensible interview after the Moon years - he was a wonderful capable actor, similar ( if a bit poorer financially and more fighty) than Richard Burton.... my mum is a retired nurse who remembers patching him up in casualty in the 60’s he had glass embedded in his head - she said he remained perfectly normal, polite and well behaved throughout the ordeal of having it tweasered out
When Ridley Scott started work on "The Duellist", his first choice for actors was Oliver Reed and Michael York, however the producers of the film declined as they were expensive and opted for Keith Carradine and Harvey Keitel instead. It's interesting that Oliver Reed repeatedly watched and admired the film.
I wouldn't jump to that conclusion. Mark is a sports commentator so he's used to cameras. Perhaps she didn't want to be under the stage lights and is a private person. I don't think you quite understand Oliver Reed if you really believe that he was an actual chauvinist. He used to say these things in jest or when drunk to get a reaction. But people used to take it seriously so he played with them.
Can you imagine spending a weekend with Ollie, Richard Burton, Richard Harris and Peter O’Toole and after that weekend is over... you’ll have to wonder when you sober up.... how did the TV set get in the pool???
In my personal opinion no one should of been interested in Oliver Reed, way too much drinking pranks, and in reading over Lunacy book, he was turning his back to the window so ordinary people didn't recognize him see why to be interested he was more of an asshole type, he was hollering at girls who wanted him in the picture, the book doesn't say enough about the rows he had with the first wife.
So you are mainly interested in gossip rather than acting skills, personality and charisma. Please, forget Oliver Reed and go back reading tabloids at the hairdressing parlour, Corrine!

Wow..from certain angles, he looks a spit of his father! One of a kind legend
Nonsense comment
@@matimus100 one of a kind legend..i think youre confusing my words with.
One time wonder etc
great comment, i agree
Oliver Reed was a mighty actor. Screen presence off the charts!

Rip Ollie

@tom black you know what he means, stop twisting
Couldn’t agree more.. total legend
Oliver was a great actor and Mark is a credit to him. Mark clearly loved and still loves his Dad. Thank you for keeping your Dad's legacy alive, Mark and for sharing more of his human side.

Mark Baird wise man your dad. 👍
I agree with your father, he is still underrated today..
You should be proud, your father worked on many great movies and was part of an important time in cinema!
Best Times..
R.I.P. Ollie, you can really see the likeness with his Son, especially when he smiles.
Was he a Christian?
@@matimus100 That's a great question, i don't know. Can't think of anything relating to religion that he said. Time for some Googling! Or DuckDuckGoing.
@@GaryMcKinnonUFO but your a Christian right
@@matimus100 Nope.
What a likeable bloke his son is. That pleases me.
He’s basically Olly without the madness lol
It's adorable that Mark looks exactly like Oliver :)
abyie123 yes he does look like his daddy
Do you think he is as drunk or violent?
Funny that
Went to see him in Oliver in London was only 8 yrs old had a crush on him all my life ,And eventually got my bullterrier at 25 yrs old , and lived on the next island to him in the channel islands, was one of a kind in movies and in real life
What a lovely man he was , RIP Oliver Reed
I'm drawn towards this unusual and enigmatic chap. I wished I'd met him. I went to see Rob's play in Swindon Old Town theatre. Fabulous stuff.
Mark is a great credit to his father.

They broke the mould when they made him, the Irish loved him , rip Ollie

I absolutely loved Oliver Reed!💖💖💖💖
Did you get married?
He has the same soft spoken refined voice as his dad. I remember the Hall was featured about 1976 on the news program Nationwide with Val Singleton who was thrilled when being kissed by Ollie.
I love how Oliver was so awesome he decided to straight-forward clone himself instead of breeding, just to make sure as much as possible of his coolness would have lived on.
Are you still in love?
His son's voice is quite nice, and he looks alot like Oliver.
Castaway is not just a decent movie, it's a masterpiece.
Terrific documentary.
...amazing how he physicly resembles the father....
It must have been amazing having a dad like that being able to talk about huge mansions and acres and knowing you where on his mind the whole time he was famous
Oliver Reeds eyes.Can youimagine having those fixed on you?What a man!
Wonderful.
Thanks for sharing.
He was an amazing highly magnetic person. And of course a great actor. Loved him in just about everything and with Diana Rigg in The Assasination Bureau he was terrific!
I would have loved to meet him
Like a poodle
Last of red blooded men. RIP Oliver 💙
Was he a Christian alcoholic
Oliver Reed legend.What a beautiful house would have loved to sit with him for a chat x
One of Britain's greatest actors.
thank you so much. Really enjoyed it!
That is Ollies son? Awww, he’s so much like his father in looks. Great show.
Looks and sounds so like his dad
Wonderful, thanks for this!
Love Oliver Reed....
Love yourself primate
I remember the old man in 'Curse of the Werewolf' when I was a kid...
Mark sounds like Oliver.
What a lovely guy, obviously "quite normal" a credit to his parents.
I knew Gerald Kingsland circa 1994 his sons were great Gerald was a complete eccentric convinced Himself He could create a perpetual motion machine with a bicycle wheel some shaped fiber glass and some water, It was fun watching him build it and fail and then try again...He didn't make one work but it was a blast in his company and His Family.
Ollie didn't give a toss and just got on with it.
I thought it was Reed senior himself in the thumbnail!
He never really gave a sensible interview after the Moon years - he was a wonderful capable actor, similar ( if a bit poorer financially and more fighty) than Richard Burton.... my mum is a retired nurse who remembers patching him up in casualty in the 60’s he had glass embedded in his head - she said he remained perfectly normal, polite and well behaved throughout the ordeal of having it tweasered out
Wow, that's interesting. Do you know if that was the event that left him with the scar on his cheek?
@@dottedpyjamas Must have been! He writes about it in his bio, "Reed All About Me."
Omg he was a gorgeous Porthos xx
He played the part of Athos.
Is Zeus your God?
Sounds like he was a good father
Looks exactly like him wow
And sounds just like him
Saw him in the pub the other day too.
Foi um exelente ator,,,dos melhores
I wonder what his real demons were behind the drinking? He was a brilliant natural actor. Loved Oliver Twist.
portrayed best BILL SYKES and not even nominated so under rated....
Absolutely
He was scary as bill
Oliver reed,, outro grande ator
I wonder how many of the Wimbledon 8 are still open?
He was the best

Loved the guy legend!
How long did you date?
Oliver stamped his son well that's for sure.
The pain and dread his drinking would have caused probably cannot be adequately expressed.
He was a genius , funny , serious , powerful and
Wow mark looks identical to his dad
He had a daughter, too! Why the heck isn't she here? Did Ollie just think, "meh, don't care for that girl", and rejected her? We never, ever see her.
Leave off!
I wouldn't jump to that conclusion. Mark is a sports commentator so he's used to cameras. Perhaps she didn't want to be under the stage lights and is a private person.

Can you imagine spending a weekend with Ollie, Richard Burton, Richard Harris and Peter O’Toole and after that weekend is over... you’ll have to wonder when you sober up.... how did the TV set get in the pool???
That would of been epic. And keith moon
His son looks just like him
sorry you lost your father so early in your life
He was middle-aged.
I thought it was Jay Leno and Ollie
Oliver Reed was last seen in Bowling Green, Kentucky on December 10, 2021. The details are on my website.
His son looks like a cross between his dad and a young Mario Lanza
starting point the pub ...... ollie would of liked it this way....
Oliver seemed to clone himself :D
Hi, Mark, Johnny SIMMONS son, Terry...
He was more American even back then going to go to American he didn't give a crap
Moses freind of oliver reed in irak turist vilaje
He even talks like his old boy
We must remember actors are just pretending! How then can we take it to seriously!
Daft comment.
Adam you just keep on pretending
OMG, he is a clone of his father.
Is Zeus your God
Just about his clone.
It’s strange that he is his son as they don’t look similar at all. The voice is a giveaway though.
He never cured cancer or anything! This type of production should have no real meaning other than to those who knew him personally!
Yama Satru so there's no more boredom ?
I don't feel for him, making yourself famous for being a drunken actors son xxx
And I admire Oliver Reed x

What a train wreck the above sentence is.
The people who thought you how to compose a sentance must be proud of themslves.
So you are mainly interested in gossip rather than acting skills, personality and charisma. Please, forget Oliver Reed and go back reading tabloids at the hairdressing parlour, Corrine!
His dad was a legend real man he was
legend is thrown about too much these days. but Mark if your reading this your dad was an absolute fucking legend.
