John Le Mesurier born John Elton Le Mesurier Halliley; 5 April 1912 - 15 November 1983) was an English actor. He is perhaps best remembered for his comedic role as Sergeant Arthur Wilson in the BBC television situation comedy Dad's Army (1968-1977).

A documentary I watched on him, all that knew him said what a gentle man he was, how he self doubted himself, and how he adored his wife. He sounds like a true gentleman.
He was, I read his biography, His life in general was chaotic, made worse by his apparent indifference to the way he was treated. He was, it seemed, impossible to affend, although beneath that exterior, he clearly was, but 'didn't want to make a fuss'.
For those who haven't heard this..
Every minute someone leaves the world behind
We are all in the same line without knowing
How many people are before us we don't know
We can't move to the back of the line
Can't step out of the line
Can't avoid this line
However.... While we wait, let's make every single moment count 😊😊 love to all 💗
How very true .
VERY TRUE
LIVE EVERY DAY LIKE ITS YOUR LAST
you can choose to jump the cue and sadly some do...
Oh I like that
@@godetsper but that would've been their time.. how and when you die .. the date and time etc .. ?
I was travelling home from Broadstairs in 1981 and saw him on Ramsgate train platform. I think he was a shy man in real life, he saw me and the friend I was travelling home with and walked right down to the end of the platform, he definitely didn’t want to be disturbed by two teenage girls, we left him to himself, a very fine actor.
A true gentleman... what Hattie put him through must have been awful, but he soldiered on like the true gentleman he was. Hattie later found out how shallow her fling was and must have really regretted how she treated him. So sad.
Fat cow
John's life sounded like a movie. He had every aspects of love, loss, sad, happy and betrayal in his years hear. He sounded like a great man, with great love. RIP John. 🙏 ❤
He was a gentle soul, non confrontational, kind and caring. A great actor.
I met his 3rd wife Joan who I found to be so interesting and down to earth. She published a book of his letters called 'Dear John' which gives a great insight to him. One of the great jobbing actors of the 20th century.
How he coped with Hattie moving her bit on the side into the home ill never know.Bless him😢
Ive always thought Jacques never deserved such a kind and loyal husband as John. He deserved someone much better.
I read about them many years ago, Hatti admitted that she loved intimacy and he had loads of reasons not to stay with her, but he loved her to the moon and back as the saying goes, he truly did which says a lot about his personality. R.I.P. John.
A wonderful man who was so kind!! To the point Hattie Jackes moved her lover into their own home.Which most people would not tolerate.This has always intrigued myself.The Dad's Army museum in Thetford is amazing to see and visit.Captain Mainwaring statue and the other props are in the museum.
John moved into the loft.
Can you imagine any other man doing that?
He made the public think he was the one who had the affair not Hattie. That could have ruined his career.
My Dad met him a few times as they frequented the same places in London. He said he was a lovely man, and very quietly spoken.
I was shocked when it came out about Hattie. She was a sex kitten!
One of their sons died not long ago also.
Thank you ❤
Thank you for your memories of John Le Mesisurer.I was brought up in Bury St Edmunds and I live not to far from Thetford.A true gentleman who took the blame of Hattie.i would have been so proud to have met this true gentleman.Thank you Paul means a lot to me.
His son Kim (Jake) died from a drug overdose in Thailand and his other son. Robin who was a musician died about a year ago I think from cancer.
I'm glad to hear his character in Dad's Army was him. He decided to be himself. I always thought his character was a kind gentle man and no I know, he was.
1983 !
Once again an OMG moment as you "visit" someone that was central to my growing up, but whom I had no idea had gone sooooooo long ago.
Now going to look up where Hattie is buried as always sad to see people alone in eternity even if their marriage had become "open" according to the press.
Sad that his son had such a short life, but "nice" to see he was interred with his father. Family is all that matters at the end of the day, no matter how much "fame" one has in life.
I loved sergeant Wilson nice one Paul 👍
Sargeant Wilson was my favourite character in DA. Loved John Le Mesurier , reminded me of my favourite uncle.
Sadly missed still really good actor god bless rest in peace xx❤🎉
A great actor who was put through the emotional wringer but never showed it in his professional life.
He was always working.
He got some amazing gigs - he's in Ben Hur playing a surgeon at the end of the Chariot Race.
His career was all "rather lovely" for his audience. Thank you John. Rest in peace.
Loved the sketch In Dads Army in which Arthur Lowes character was sporting a new wig....John was trying to say something nice about it but his laughter became progressively louder until he admitted that the wig was awful! Loved this sketch and many others delivered so hilariously by John....apparently at the end he said "it's all been rather lovely"....doubtless said with his own inimitable style...Rest in Peace John you were a true gent!!
Mainwaring reply was "watch out Wilson you might snap your girdle"
My favorite actor... A real gent.
Thank you too 😎👍
He was a great actor
R.I.P John 🙏
john was a great actor and gave us so much fun and laughter during his dads army days for which he will always be remembered for R.I.P john le mesurier never to be forgotten
I loved John le Mesurier as Dr Tranter in Jack the Ripper (1959). He was such a handsome, dignified gentleman!🥰🌹🎩 I wish I could have met him in real life, I guess I was born like 20 years too late. God grant this man eternal rest and peace ❤️
He seemed a kind man..my brother met him in Suffolk I think they were filing there..Hattie gave him a hard time,the poor man loved her dearly and put up with much suffering from the relationship.
Was a great character in real life which was in his acting life too. How sad he ended up unhappy after his marriage with Hattie Jacques broke down. Thanks Paul enjoyed that xx
I remember John Le Mesurier from Dads Army. There was a lady who use to come to my school that knew him and said he was a nice gentleman, didn't know who she meant until she said he was in Dads Army. I must admit my favourite one was Arther Lowe.
Hi Paul. Looking forward to this one. A little suggestion for a future programme if I may. Mike Hailwood a George Medal holder, a famous motor cycle and F1 racer who was not killed on the track but died in 1981 along with his 9 year old daughter following a road collision caused by a careless lorry driver. Mike and his daughter are buried at the St. Mary Magdalene Church graveyard at Tanworth in Arden .A very sad case. This is a great series Paul which is always done respectfully. Thank you for all that you do.
Totally agree! Mike the bike was a legend on various levels...
@@TheTimmyH He was indeed Tim .So sad that he lost his life on the road when he survived on the track whilst competing at the very highest level. Added to his talent on the track he was an exceptionally brave man who was awarded the George Medal for rescuing a fellow driver from a blazing car. Many younger viewers will probably not know what an amazing man Mike Hailwood was and if Paul manages to get to the final resting place of Mike and his daughter I am sure that he will produce a suitable tribute to a remarkable person.
There's footage of Hailwood on TH-cam rescuing Clay Regazzoni from his crashed and burning F1 car. Hailwood had a marshall spray him down with foam and water went back into the fire to save the unconcious Regazzoni.
@@nathanbowers6364 A very brave man Nathan - his GM was well deserved. I am sure that many younger people will not know who Mike Hailwood was but if Paul could do one of his usual respectful tributes to Mike hopefully a whole new generation will learn more about him
A great shout for Mike Hailwood Paul. I've visited and it's a beautiful spot. The great Musician Nick Drake also has a stone in the same churchyard. Would be great visit for you 👍👍
I loved dads army. I am a Huge fan of dad’s army and John Le mesiureer is one of my favourite actor
Famous graves of people who entertaind the people of the UK for many years. These people must be remembered for their contribution to the UK. There are not many actor's like him left in the acting field .
John was a brilliant actor and absolutely hilarious in dad's army which was brilliant sitcom
Wonderful actor and a lovely man
Loved him as the exasperated Prisoner Governor in The Italian Job when dealing with Mr Bridger.
Superb actor
Thank you Paul, what a true gentleman he was. Thankfully his place in the acting world concreted with Dads Army. Totally brilliant . RIP John . Thanks again mucka
Great Actor loved him was very funny in dads army Paul love watching you you do a great job and so caring
He was a true gentleman and still much loved.
Really enjoyed this presentation. Well done mate
It bought tears to me and the wife’s eyes.
Thank you Paul, what a great man John was and his amazing career and performances left behind for history.
R.I.P. 🙏🌟
Love the epitaph ‘resting’ the actors word for when they are not working, simple but appropriate
An amazing actor I'm a total fan of dad's army with John in it I have visited dad's army museum in Thetford Norfolk many times a well worth visit for any dad's army fan specially if you are a great fan of John a true brilliant actor truly missed
A lovely tribute to a great man and actor , Paul . Siempre , the word on the stone , is , Spanish for ; Always . My Grandad ,Arthur was also born in , Bedford in 1912 , And passed away shortly after John in 1988 .
Loved John's suaveness and laid back dimenna in Dad's Army...liked a drink or two for what I recall :) RIP John. Nice vid Paul on these increasingly dark chilly mornings.
Thank you Paul , another great story and video. I have read several books, biographies and autobiographies about John and I think he was his own best critic. In comparison to his peers and other actors before and later, John was a not a great actor; just a jobbing actor is a very accurate description . He did have a very sad life , much of it his own making. He gave a very good impersonation of someone who just couldn’t be bothered about life. His addiction to alcohol, nicotine and jazz music were his escapes from the mess he was in. I always got the feeling that no matter who or what he played, he just didn’t want to be doing it ! Personally, I enjoyed him much more on the radio . He had a great radio voice and much that he did was very funny and entertaining. However, he was still a great member of the best comedy series ever seen on television - it will never be equalled. Never forget his advice - “…do you think that’s wise? ….” 🤣
Paul, Great presentation. Fabulous actor, a gent but as you say had a sad life! Bob
Loved John in DAD'S ARMY, another great actor gone and forgotten sadly 😥 RIP JOHN, Thank you Paul for showing us John's resting place 👍👍
I loved both John's acting and also his wife Hattie, but when I learned of his wife's behaviour I was appalled
Very sad ending for this lovely man. It was awful what Jacques put him through.
Siempre means ‘Forever’ in English. Another very good video. I’m having to play ‘catch up’ as I’ve missed a few. 👍
I first came across him in Bod the children’s programme! I don’t know if you ever watched it ? Then came to know him as Sergeant Wilson with him playing the role so dead pan and hilariously funny! What a talent! thank you for taking us to his final resting place!
I loved Bod ! Was one of my faves as a child 🥰x
Love this one thank you Paul John always reminds me of my grandad didn’t realise he was married to Hattie.
Love your Chanel thank you ❤️❤️

He seemed such a gentle soul bless him. Such a shame he didn't give himself enough credit for his acting. Another good video Paul and respect given xx
