I was student working at the Piccadilly Theatre in London's West End in 1984 when Gary was appearing in Pump Boys and Dinettes with Lyndsey de Paul and Paul Rogers. He was the only cast member who was in touch with reality. He had time for the sparkies, front of house, cleaners - no ego, no 'look at me'. He invited a few of us to a party in the basement of a restaurant in Maida Vale after a show - just a really open, honest and decent human being who I was lucky to have shared some time with. You can live for 90 years and not really touch another life in any meaningful way. He had his battles with drink and drugs and died far too soon - but he left a mark on many who met him and is remembered with warmth and respect here at least. As Bill Hicks says....it's only a ride, and Gary had a short and beautiful one.

Beautiful words Simon. I had a friend who used to see Gary in local pubs in and around maida vale back in the 80s. Everyone who met him said he was such a lovely bloke, so down to earth and decent. I wish I'd met him but I always felt I did. He's the only celebrity death who's loss I mourned so much.

no he didnt have a single bit of talent in his whole body.. could not sing at all....... he got breaks due to the parts needing a slimey little cockney character, exactly what he was. shame he ever got a break because a tiny biit of fame went to his head and the drugs started to flow. what he didnt realise was most other fellas bragging about how much coke and herion they were doing was actually fiction... he did go clean for a little while then got fame in auf and boom came the dope again and it killed him.... it was clever for the film makers putting him into certain parts that needed someone exactly like him.. he didnt act at all . thats exactly what he was realy like in real life, little cockney geezer.. .... there was another absolutely useless actor who got fantastic accolades even a osca, but could not realy act and was exactly the same in every role he played and off screen the same too....... he got praise for a film his old lady was also cast in, it was the best fuck up of his career when they cast him as marc anthony in anthony and cleopatra.. to me i cannot see how you can possibly have marc anthony (supposed t obe a roman solder ) with a strong welsh accent !!!! yes richard burton..... every single part he ever played his voice dont change a single bit............broad sword to danny boy ... see you dont have to have talent to get on in the film game.. ive come across plenty who cant act to save their life yet got extrememly famous....

Superb tribute. I didn't know about the ACDC link to Gary. He was always my favourite character in AWP because he seemed so natural and likeable...turns out he was like that in real life. RIP Gary

A quote from Bladerunner stands out "The light that burns twice as bright burns half as long" Gary was an excellent musician and actor, he could have achieved anything but sadly alcohol and drugs got in the way. What a shame he was taken from us R.I.P Gary Holten

'Jackie The Lad', 'London', 'Wayne' = Gary Holton. He was not forgotten when 'Pet' was revived; a memorial service was written into the script and also on the DVD at the end of Series Two Tim Healey makes a dedication to Gary. Thanx for posting this video.

I used to love watching AWP in late 1983, when I started work as an apprentice plumber. I worked on various building sites, so I could identify with the banter and the sort of characters from the series. All these years later, I can see how young he was when he died. What a tragic waste of a genuine talent.

I remember so clearly that last episode at the beginning when Tim Healy dedicates it to Gary ,i genuinely felt sadness and it was probably my first dealings with the whole life and death thing.

Thank you for putting this up. So much here I didn't know. He saw a band I was in play the Clarendon in Hammersmith, in the early/mid '80s. It was around the time of Auf Wiedersehen, and he came and chatted backstage. I was a bit starstruck, but he was really supportive. Years later I met people who had been told by Gary that they should check my band out. A truly terrible waste.

Rest In Peace Garry, you made me smile, you also deceived me ....your Jack the lad, your looks,your music ability had me mesmerized and so jealous......Be kind we don't know what weight he or she carries, we are all fragile......but some more than others God bless to you all❤👍👍

Was devastated as a kid when he died. As a 10yr old, i truly loved the first 2 series and the characters

Such a great actor! He was absolutely brilliant in Auf Wiedersehen Pet with his wit and humour as Wayne Norris. Just think what he could have done if he'd have still been with us. Thanks for uploading.

I was at Beaufoy too in the late 60s - can't say I remember him at the time. But with Gary Holton being in a year above and Gary Willmot (West end entertainer ) being in a year behind me it shows the school knew how to produce musical talent. The man behind both was Mr Stumbles the music teacher. Looking back it was a great school if you wanted to express yourself.

More often than not you come out with a true blinder Mark. This is one of those true blinders.

He used to drink in the Warwick Arms on Regents canal. I saw him there a few times. I was shadowing him in lifestyle but luckily I never get into needles and stopped drinking in 1986 after 2 drink drive bans in one week back in 1985.

Loved the kids and Auf Wiedersehen . Lots in here I didn’t know . Great mini documentary. Was walking down the local high street the morning after a great concert. He recognised us and came over to ask what we thought of the concert , which was brilliant.

Very respectfully made, no matter the flaws Gary was a dude in his day, Wayne was the coolest Auf character.

Saw him with HMK when they supported Alice Cooper at Wembley 1975. He was a superb frontman with such energy and they absolutely smashed it that night .The first HMK album is a feast of ballsy Brit rock that I never tire of playing. Grossly underrated in the history of music.

I always remember hearing the news and feeling very upset by it all those years ago. Auf Wiedersehen Pet was one of my favourite TV shows. The show was never the same without him. What a tragic waste of life. RIP Gary.
