*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 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.

absolutely fantastic talent, today's society have no idea of the impact he had on popular music...

A wonderfully deserved tribute to a great artist

*Miss you today in 2021 Anthony Newley - never forgotten KZread 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.

Absolutely fantastic! Such an incredible talent! I'm thrilled to get to see all the people who were part of his life. Thank you!

They sure don`t make them anymore like Tony Newley and all these other great talents

Newley was a gem, absolutely unique and utterly ireplaceable.

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.

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

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.

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

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....

He created magic when he started to sing. Go Anthony

His mum is SO adorable!

Never heard of Tony until today. Yet I know his films and songs so well. What a brilliant career.

Love Anthony Newley! One of the greatest talents of all time. Also, loved this show!

Class Act Joan! Loved Newley so much as a kid. Thirty years after the big moment, still gorgeous!

He was superb at everything he did. I still listen to him on a regular basis.

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.

He was an amazingly talented man.

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

Great Star; they don't make them like that anymore... He was once married to one of my favourite actresses; Ann Lynn.

What a man. What an artist.

A total class act a brilliant actor! Sir Anthony Newly just sounds appropriately EARNED!

He captivates me in life and death. Anthony Newley was the best at making love to the camera. His passion still intoxicates me.

Fabulous man, hugely multi-talented, very handsome, a real man, very much missed.

Just adored Anthony Newley in the movie Sweet November with Sandy Dennis. -A really cute love story.

Please fetch back this is your life, so good,healthy family entertainment, not much of that around now, something you can sit down with the kids and all watch together

Only part of his wonderful life!! Thank you xxx

Loved his Gurney Slade character the most, it's often thought that was behind the Python teams humour.

What a great multi talented guy he was.

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.

I've discovered a genius!

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...

RIP Tony.

"Bloody lovely!" THANKS Eric in Australia

Talented man

Congratulations 🎉🎉🎉🎉

So enjoyed seeing that.

Gran artista❤

A legend should of got a knighthood. Never forgotten his London roots like sir Michael Caine.

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.

i don't think she knew where she was.

He was a genius and could perform and write songs such as GOLDFINGER for the Bond film.

God his daughter has a beautiful singing voice! Did she do any other songs?

remember watching this one when it was on originally

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.

Sasha looks bored being there.

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.

As many greats “once in a lifetime “

Proto~Bowie when he Sings, yes?

I liked him singing "Why"

Top man........ a complete one-off.

hard to watch as so many have passed

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."

Tony's mam was very stylish

Have you got anymore from This is your life please.

brillant

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.

Did he not write the song Why for his then Wife Joan Collins.

so sad

ahhhhhhhh

rip lionel

cool

Una Stubbs is gorgeous here!

rip una

Sad the son has now been accusing him of child abuse which Joan Collins refutes totally.

What year did this happen?

david bowis hero....

P. Clark chin is bigger than Buddys.

Audience consisting of all the women he "slept with" while still married?

hardly anyone turned up

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.

He was a marmite entertainer.
