Gary Holton died whilst they were filming in Spain and they next day they carried on filming without him adjusting the story line as if nothing had happened , it must of been so painful for the actors.
I watched this as a kid when it first aired and everytime I see an episode or it mentioned it makes me sad thinking back to much better times to the crap going on now
@littlebigman6857: Actually according to the Wikipedia they were British Construction Workers, they do exist in the UK you know, that go to seek employment overseas since our country was still in recession from the 1970s until around mid 80s. The definition in the UK is "who work for or under the control of a contractor on a construction site." That can include, bricklaying, roofing, tiling etc.
I luv this series. I dont think they could have picked better Actors and Actresses to play there parts. great Actor's and Actresses. those who've passed away may they rest in eternal peace 🕊️💐
why are you showing a picture of Christopher Fairbank on your heading when he is still alive???? He's in eastenders at the moment unless it's his ghost!
you mean a wanna be one gangster if that was real life he would end up at the bottem of the river tyne or the mersey thames locals would have spme from another city be a gangster the kray brother wanted to take over liverpool and where legged down the paltform at lime street back on the train back to fairy land london and told never come back
@@garypring2658 I believe a similar outcome occurred when the Krays were looking to expand their empire into the North East. From what I remember being told when I was a kid, when the above siblings arrived on Tyneside they were met by two members of the local constabulary who handed the Krays two airplane tickets for London from Newcastle Airport.🤔😉
Just the greatest series ever! Especially 1&2
Greatest tv programme ever made
Timothy Spall turned into one of the best character actors.
Brilliant Series

Best of All time
Thank for the good memories and may god bless them all that are still alive and the others will be missed very much
They where builders. Thats what we call them in Britain not construction workers.

Wayne was a carpenter, Barry was an electrician, not builders at all.
I grow up on the as a kid an now 49 I just love to watch this ❤
Tim Healy's son, Matt, is a rock star with The 1975 (you'll have to take it from me they are big).
Loved this series so much ❤

Amazing Christopher Fairbanks is only 70 years old
Yeah when he was in the first series I always thought he must be in his late 30's then 😮
U will not beat this
I got the chance to meet Pat Roach at a wrestling match and Christopher Fairbanks at a comic con
Great video - Thank you.

Christopher Fairbanks was in the batman movie with jack Nicholson as the joker
Fairbank also appeared in The Fifth Element.
I think he starred in Guardians Of The Galaxy and Hercules, too if i'm not mistaken.🤔
Theyre all far right now.
1983 construction workers 2002 construction wokers
Christopher Fairbank isn’t dead. He’s just been in Eastenders.
Who said he was dead?. The narrator quite clearly says he's 70yrs old and was recently acting in Eastenders.
@@jswmonkey197 The clickbait thumbnail suggested it.
@@therealobanir Thanks, I see that now.
I enjoy this channel, but the click bait fakery is unnecessary.
Who wrote the script for this??? A 5 year old?
It was Arthur moxy
Albert Arthur Moxey actually
Was Brenda a devoted wife and a husband?
That's acting for you 😂😂
Brenda, Dagmar, Christa, Vera, Christine, Pamela and Hazel were all easy on the eye.😘
Ally Fraser was a gangster.
you mean a wanna be one gangster if that was real life he would end up at the bottem of the river tyne or the mersey thames
locals would have spme from another city be a gangster the kray brother wanted to take over liverpool and where legged down the paltform at lime street
back on the train back to fairy land london and told never come back
A memorable character brilliantly portrayed by the great Bill Paterson.👍

Click bait bullshit , Christopher fairbanks is very much alive
Pretty sure Christopher Fairbank is still alive
why say dead. only 2 have died. lies
So some aged 21 years but others 41 years ?
Some in the early 1980's original series, others in the 20 year after one I'm guessing. 🤷
