Had the privilege of knowing George quite well. Very tragic when he lost his second wife to cancer and then raised lots for the scanner at Southampton hospital. Then married his screen wife with encouragement from his daughters. He had an affair with Marilyn Monroe and was known as the British Errol Flynn as he was very dashing . RIP George
He used to get his bread at Justin le blanc Walton street behind Harrods . He used to call my mum his we Scot’s lassie ,my step dad was a baker and my mum worked in the shop, she said he was such a gentleman always polite and curious ,great man.
GREAT VIDEOPAUL I DO REMEMBER GEORGE A LOVELY GUY AND A GOOD ACTOR GLAD HE HAD A LONG LIFE IM SO GLAD YOU GOT INTO THE CHURCH AT LAST I KEPT WAITING FOR SOMEONE TO USHER YOU OUT HA HA ANYWAY HOPE YOU ARE WELL AND KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK LOVELY LITTLE CEMETERY BY THE WAY R I P GEOEGE 🙏🥀
I really enjoyed this video. George had done so much more than I knew. I loved the church too, there's something fascinating about old churches isn't there? I got the feeling you were welcome there, the doors opened very nicely without being asked to! They wanted the church to be seen. Shame they didn't show themselves. Thank you Paul, you're a total superstar!
Hello there Paul, hope you're ok mate. - I remember George, in the main, playing a Police detective. A brilliant and versatile actor, and dedicated family man. God rest his soul. The world is missing a great man. R.I.P. George.
Good actor was George Baker was interesting to know that he could have been the first James Bond and he would have made a good Bond great as Wexford nice little church good video Paul
Another great respectful tribute Paul. He was a great actor and it was the best series to be made in Hampshire. Loved all the adaptations of Ruth Rendell books and she went on record to say she even pictured George as Reg Wexford when writing the stories. No better accolade. I need to visit here real soon so thank you for showing us. Keep up the good work 👍
I had lunch with him 2/3 times Such a lovely man and so so tall. I had lunch in the four horseshoes in Southampton he came in a lot when filming that way coming quite a lot.
Another great vid Paul. So much interesting facts about him. He had a good innings. Are you still interested in doing a meet & hiiiii in the South or London? Enjoy the rest of your Sunday evening buddy 👍
I thoroughly enjoyed this video. I am pleased that you got nto the church.The sound of the footsteps were a little spooky. I used to watch the Ruth Rendall Mysteries and like some other folks in the comment section, did not realise that he had been gone so long. Thumbs up for this video. 👍
Yes all Some mothers do have em are brilliant but George was absolutely brilliant how on earth he didn't crack up laughing. Just shows what a great actor he really was.
Great actor loved him in Robin of Sherwood playing Marion’s father .Like Paul said haven’t realised he’s been gone that long ago. Another great video 👍
When you watch these videos like of George and it gives the year they died🙏🙏 it makes you realise that time flies - 13 years oh my I was watching a video about George Best and it will be 20 years ago next year since he died 🏴🏴❤️❤️😍😍🙏🙏🙏
Same with all other actors/actress like John hurt,John Thaw, Gordon Jackson, Mark McManus some of these Guys have been Dead for 12-13,20,30-35 years and all with long Careers as well all closet to 50-60 years worth and all very well know and liked as well.
I never knew that he could of played James Bond. What a great actor. I really enjoyed the church tour. The doors opening, well that was a bit spooky. Thank you for another fab video.😊
Pleased to have the chance to say goodbye to a lovely man. The Inspector Wexford series were filmed up the road from me in Romsey. During filming he rented a cottage near my niece's place and we would go out and take the dogs for a walk and he would often be in his front garden and we would chat. His first wife was in hospital in Southampton on the same ward as my late sister-in-law Jen and he would chat to Jen when he went in to visit his wife. When visiting he would eat at one of our local pubs and the landlord and customers tucked him under their wings. So glad he married Lou, he deserved to be happy. Thanks, Paul. x
Great actor I think we all have a favourite character he played I loved him in the Ruth Rendell series Lovely little Church & graveyard Thanks again for a great video Paul 👍🏻
Hi Paul Many thanks for covering this case . We lost an icon when he passed and what a nice guy he appeared to be.. He is greatly missed as he reminded me of the greatJohn Thaw who was another icon. Rest in peace as you are greatly missed. Much love and respect from South Wales x

I met George baker once doing a talk at the Nuffield theatre in Southampton when i was a teenager, he gave me a kiss on the cheek.. he was a lovely man, so friendly x
0:16 That's so great I used to watch I Claudius series religiously, because of my other favourite actors Brian blessed and Derek Jacobi as well John hurt as well as Sian Phillips, but George was such a fabulous actor in the epic series of this programme, I always got him mixed up with William Pertwee as hodgers off dad's army for some strange reason , he had such a very distinctive voice, the little church was very beautiful and stunning inside I love country little quaint places, like that very peaceful and warm ,I really enjoyed today video Paul Thanks ever so much, Many Thanks as always your Friend Rodders 🤘🏻🎸😎👑😔
Lovely situation to be buried. A church graveyard that is still open and used ( not a cemetery) . Trouble with George was that he did his job with efficiency and smoothly, never got into the 'Red Top' press so disappeared from view. Thanks for bringing back to life as it mere. As you always do.
RIP brilliant actor well talented 🙏 we are loosing the great actors 🎉lovely church the door opening bit spooky nice video poul thanks respect 🙏 top man 👨 👏
Hey Paul hope your ok and had a nice weekend. Looking forward to tonight as always. Hoping to get my blue spanner back 🤞🤞 maybe tonight is the night 😉. Have a nice Sunday mate take care catch you tonight buddy.
He was a Fantastic Actor my Wife who is Bulgarian told me he was born in Varna Bulgaria . thanks Paul like you i thought it was a couple of years ago he died.
He played a police inspector in a Miss Marple At Bertrams Hotel with Joan Hickson and apparently someone decided he would be ideal as Inspector Wexford.
Thank you Paul for a lovely tribute to George Baker I can remember seeing him in a variety of things did not realise he had been gone as long as that Thanks Paul 👍👍

Yes all Some mothers do have em are brilliant but George was absolutely brilliant how on earth he didn't crack up laughing. Just shows what a great actor he really was.
Totally agree he was brilliant in that episode so funny
