It's not possible to give someone a knighthood posthumously. A knighthood dies with a person when they die so it isn't possible to award one to someone who didn't get one when they were alive. I'm not having a go at Tony Newley but apparently that's the centuries old convention
I hear you but Newley was way above all that. Very few that have been knighted have done anything so splendid as Tony Newley. Fabulous man in every way. I always include at least two of his songs when I perform.
I was lucky enough to see him live My son worked in the theatre and arranged it The song Why used to be sung to me by one of my boyfriends HAPPY Memories
My brother and I were taken by my parents to see "The Good Old Bad Old Days" at the west end in the early 1970's. Anthony Newley played the character "Bubba" the devil in it. The soundtack is superb, even now. I would love to see that show again, I wonder if it was ever recorded...
Wonderful tribute to a great and very talented performer, real 'showbiz' and Scrooge was fantastic ! Met him quite few times, absolute gentleman. Could not get over glamorous Yvie Bricusse's appearance - was as if Alma Cogan was standing there !
some really sweet and touching moments - he seemed over the moon when his daughter appeared at the end and his mother - my god WHAT a knockout as a young woman in that photo with him and today at 91!!!!
One of the more memorable lines, attributed to Anthony Newley, was, that when he ran up a tab at a pub, he used to say: " Put it on my mother's account at Harrods."
I knew your father Judd Woldin. I was in his musical "Lorenzo!' at George Street Playhouse in 1982. He got me my Equity card....a fine man, I remember.
There is no day passes by without me watching him or listening to him singing. His voice penetrates my hart. No other performer of any kind ever had such affect on me. Glad to see that he is admired by so many people.
I forgot what a great star this very special man was, I am just discovering him all over again. Here he appears to be almost shy when his amazing career is presented to him. Wonderful Tony
I had completely forgotten that he played the Artful Dodger in the David Lean film until I saw the film again recently. That led me to do further research on his fabulous career. One-of-a- kind talent whose like we will not see again.
People are too dumbed down to admire over hyped and taletless celebs like Kardashians and Beckhams, selling their even more useless kids into the celeb industry to use for their own attention.
A couple of mistakes here by the production team. Newley's film debut was in “Oliver Twist”, not “Oliver” as shown here. That was a musical version made twenty years later. Also, the song “Why” was not the hit song from the 1959 film “Idol on Parade”. That was “I've Waited So Long”. “Why” was a hit the following year.
I've just watched that bit again. You are mistaken. Aspel says Oliver Twist and the photo is Anthony in that film production. It isn't Jack Wild who was in Oliver! in the 1968 film musical.
Considering all the legends this man worked with expected some really big stars in the studio. This forgotten man who truly came from nowhere was one of our greatest stars in many fields over many years. I think if that rediculously titled film had had a dif name it could have been a success and he could have gone on to be a great director which I think he wanted. If he'd only done Oliver Twist and gurney spade he'd still be a legend. Loved his mum so much. A great man.

What a star. He impressed in all that he did. I really thought that Joan Collins could have/should have been present. They seemed to have still liked each other.
I had the honor of working closely with Tony on the 1966 musical film Dr Dolittle. I was Samantha Eggar’s singing voice. Tony was a total live too work with!
I found out about Anthony from a cover of Idle On Parade by Little Tony and the Tennessee Rebels, an early 80s rockabilly band. Their version rocks 100x more than the one from the movie, but now I get Anthony wasn't really a rocker plus movies for the masses had to make the songs more pop sounding. Anyways, he seems like a nice fella who touched my people's lives. May he rest in peace.
So in 1948, Reg Varney (and Alfie Bass) went up for the part of the Artful Dodger at the age of thirty two?? And he still couldn't figure out why they gave it to the sixteen year old Anthony Newley? I know old Reg often played down his age on screen but that still came as a big surprise to me. And of course he was pushing sixty for On the Buses, just ten years younger than his "Mum" at the time, while still acting like an overgrown teenager. Still it looked like a good night out for some of the Jewish showbiz mafia; though apparently (despite the plug) Anthony's son got nowhere as a "Film Director". Seems even that kind of nepotism can only get you so far eh? I always wondered why Peter Cook had it in for Newley on the Derek and Clive Live LP - was there a back-story to all of that, I wonder? "But I'll tell you one thing Tony Newley said to me..."
+Nobody's fool To be fair, apparently Reg had already had one heart attack and also a stroke by this point, so he probably wasn't on his best form. Maybe he'd just had too much crumpet. And he still lived on to an age of 92.
Class Act Joan! Loved Newley so much as a kid. Thirty years after the big moment, still gorgeous!
Newley was a gem, absolutely unique and utterly ireplaceable.
What a man. What an artist.
Anthony was Amazing and Extraordinary.
Real Talent.
I met him in the 1960's he could not have been nicer and
Gave me an autographed photo.
RIP
Never heard of Tony until today. Yet I know his films and songs so well. What a brilliant career.
*It was the greatest injustice that he was never awarded a Knighthood in the UK, it was richly deserved, and it should have been "Sir Anthony Newley"*
It's never too late his family could accept the esteemed well deserved title for him!
It's not possible to give someone a knighthood posthumously. A knighthood dies with a person when they die so it isn't possible to award one to someone who didn't get one when they were alive. I'm not having a go at Tony Newley but apparently that's the centuries old convention
Oh please ....
I hear you but Newley was way above all that. Very few that have been knighted have done anything so splendid as Tony Newley. Fabulous man in every way. I always include at least two of his songs when I perform.
Dose he have a blue plack here in London??🇬🇧🆘✌️🌟
He was an amazingly talented man.
That was great. Thank you for putting this up
A total class act a brilliant actor!
Sir Anthony Newly just sounds appropriately EARNED!
I was lucky enough to see him live My son worked in the theatre and arranged it The song Why used to be sung to me by one of my boyfriends HAPPY Memories
Anthony newley is brilliant
Just adored Anthony Newley in the movie Sweet November with Sandy Dennis. -A really cute love story.
Fabulous man, hugely multi-talented, very handsome, a real man, very much missed.
Handsome, talented, gentle and genuine man: such a loss - but at least we have his legacy!
Super talented
Gurney Slade !!!!
Great Star; they don't make them like that anymore... He was once married to one of my favourite actresses; Ann Lynn.
He was a genius and could perform and write songs such as GOLDFINGER for the Bond film.
Congratulations 🎉🎉🎉🎉
What a great multi talented guy he was.
Gran artista❤
I've discovered a genius!
Talented man

still see Anthony newley alive rip 😞😞😞😞😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

And when he sang that song to his other daughter! His kids seemed to have adored him and he them.
Top man........ a complete one-off.
One of the more memorable lines, attributed to Anthony Newley, was, that when he ran up a tab at a pub, he used to say: " Put it on my mother's account at Harrods."
hard to watch as so many have passed
Tony's mam was very stylish
Ronnie O'Sullivan has aged well ...
rip una
What year did this happen?
Audience consisting of all the women he "slept with" while still married?
david bowis hero....
Looks like he should be Ronnie O'Sullivan's dad ...
He probably is. He'd shag a barbershop floor.
How handsome is sacha?
who's Grace?
Grace is Mummy!

Horrid voice .. sorry . Mangled every song he ever sang.
I guess that's what made him so popular??????
@@allymayful He wouldn't be popular today
@@shellc6743- to hell with today. “Today” sucks.
absolutely fantastic talent, today's society have no idea of the impact he had on popular music...
They sure don`t make them anymore like Tony Newley and all these other great talents
He's part of a very elite UK entertainers who was able to compete with the best of USA showbizz royalty....That should say it all....
Simply brilliant. I was fortunate to see him rehearse and perform many times as my father Judd Woldin was the rehearsal pianist.
I knew your father Judd Woldin. I was in his musical "Lorenzo!' at George Street Playhouse in 1982. He got me my Equity card....a fine man, I remember.
There is no day passes by without me watching him or listening to him singing. His voice penetrates my hart. No other performer of any kind ever had such affect on me. Glad to see that he is admired by so many people.
A wonderfully deserved tribute to a great artist
Absolutely fantastic! Such an incredible talent! I'm thrilled to get to see all the people who were part of his life. Thank you!
I forgot what a great star this very special man was, I am just discovering him all over again. Here he appears to be almost shy when his amazing career is presented to him. Wonderful Tony
*Miss you today in 2021 Anthony Newley - never forgotten TH-cam keeps you alive*
I read Sacha's autobiography and was impressed with his sanity, given his parents. Loved Anthony's talent. Never fussed on Joan.
I had completely forgotten that he played the Artful Dodger in the David Lean film until I saw the film again recently. That led me to do further research on his fabulous career. One-of-a- kind talent whose like we will not see again.
oh we will
He created magic when he started to sing. Go Anthony
Love Anthony Newley! One of the greatest talents of all time. Also, loved this show!
His mum is SO adorable!
THEY OUGHT TO BRING THIS PROGRAM BACK. ON AIR THERE ARE SOME GREAT STARS OUT THERE.
I totally agree it would give newsworthy entertainment back to the networks!
It's more about Rihanna and Lady Gaga these days and not forgetin Beyonce .. not much good music out there
People are too dumbed down to admire over hyped and taletless celebs like Kardashians and Beckhams, selling their even more useless kids into the celeb industry to use for their own attention.
There are very few like Anthony Newley anymore . What a shame .
Great songwriter also. One of my favorite songs of his: The Man Who Makes You Laugh
A couple of mistakes here by the production team. Newley's film debut was in “Oliver Twist”, not “Oliver” as shown here. That was a musical version made twenty years later. Also, the song “Why” was not the hit song from the 1959 film “Idol on Parade”. That was “I've Waited So Long”. “Why” was a hit the following year.

An incredible talent!
He was the male equivalent to Diana Dors... glamour and humour both. Best of British.
I remember watching this when it was first shown. Most of that talent has now sadly gone and what is replacing them , mostly talentless rubbish.
A unique talent. Sorely missed.
The Small World of Sammy Lee
Savile and Harris get awards and this man gets nothing, disgraceful to the core.
He captivates me in life and death. Anthony Newley was the best at making love to the camera. His passion still intoxicates me.
Considering all the legends this man worked with expected some really big stars in the studio. This forgotten man who truly came from nowhere was one of our greatest stars in many fields over many years. I think if that rediculously titled film had had a dif name it could have been a success and he could have gone on to be a great director which I think he wanted.

No Gurney SPADE. The all black version.
Well put. Hopefully not forgotten
What a classic British entertainer,he will never be succeeded by anyone again, John UK
God his daughter has a beautiful singing voice! Did she do any other songs?
"Bloody lovely!" THANKS
Eric in Australia
Proto~Bowie when he Sings, yes?
A legend should of got a knighthood. Never forgotten his London roots like sir Michael Caine.
I liked him singing "Why"
RIP Tony.

What a star. He impressed in all that he did.

A true GREAT STAR the best ever
Loved his Gurney Slade character the most, it's often thought that was behind the Python teams humour.
remember watching this one when it was on originally
Sad the son has now been accusing him of child abuse which Joan Collins refutes totally.
He was superb at everything he did. I still listen to him on a regular basis.
So enjoyed seeing that.
talented fella.
Have you got anymore from This is your life please.
Only part of his wonderful life!! Thank you xxx
Ooh I'd love to see it in full.He's lovely! Thank you.x
As far as TALENT goes....
ENGLAND rules the air waves, thanks great to see a GREAT. RIP AN THANKS
🇬🇧🇬🇧🌟🌟🌟✌️😍🙏🎶❣️
Tony if you only you new what things your son is writing about you RIP
Sasha looks bored being there.
Thanks for posting this. I only came here because I'd read that he was a big influence on David Bowie. You can see it even in the brief clips here.
Especially when you hear The Laughing Gnome.
Oh Yes!
David ripped him completely. More than he did of Scott Walker IMHO
I had the honor of working closely with Tony on the 1966 musical film Dr Dolittle. I was Samantha Eggar’s singing voice. Tony was a total live too work with!
Amazing! If you ever remember any anecdotes…
I found out about Anthony from a cover of Idle On Parade by Little Tony and the Tennessee Rebels, an early 80s rockabilly band.

You could tell he was VERY happy to see his last daughter, a total surprise

+Nobody's fool To be fair, apparently Reg had already had one heart attack and also a stroke by this point, so he probably wasn't on his best form. Maybe he'd just had too much crumpet. And he still lived on to an age of 92.
Did he not write the song Why for his then Wife Joan Collins.
P. Clark chin is bigger than Buddys.
As many greats “once in a lifetime “
He was a marmite entertainer.
Una Stubbs is gorgeous here!
Thank you !!!!!!!
rip lionel
His mother was a doll, and still going strong at her age. Plus, she had a bunch of kids besides Anthony.
i don't think she knew where she was.
