Saw Pete Bardens 3 times with 🐪 a great talent R.I.P
Seems like he loved animals
Did he ever talk about his house near Dorking being Haunted? I think it was said to be!👍💯👍💯👍🤔👍✌️
Not that I recall nope
People forget how many films Oliver Reed starred.
Thank you! 🙏
Wow - this is some next level refit.I doubt we'll see this on The Repair Shop Christmas Special...
One can only live in hope x
👏👏👏
I’ve never seen him so relaxed and at peace with himself when he owned Broome Hall and was breeding horses and helped to save the house from falling into ruin. If only he hadn’t sold it and had stayed focused on those projects perhaps his demons might have stayed away
Just a brilliant, hilarious man …don’t make them anymore which is sad
Very amusing, all the more so with your excellent Oli impressions.

Wonderful tales✨✨✨
Such a great show much better than the sh.t on TV today.
😂😂😂😂😂This is gold dust!!! 😂
This is a great song. Alway loved it.
SUPER !
That was Great !
Loved Possum Dixon. Great to see him again. Thanks
Intriguing and interesting in a nightmare fuel sort of way
so interesting
Peter Bardens (RIP) was a founding member of the prog rock band Camel in he early 70's. That was the only way I knew him. His keyboard work on Camel albums is amazing! The work he does here is good but if you really want to hear his best work, listen to Camel's albums Moonmadness and The Snow Goose.
I saw his act at the winter carnival of magic and it was tremendous! Great creativity and comedy. A genius of magic
I could watch these stories all day,not only are you a great magician your a great storyteller thank you
So good. He used to come over to our flat when I was a kid.
Thank you Alexei
Secret Cabaret was amazing 🪄 like a Macabre David Copperfield
Thats a great illusion 🪄
Dam it,this is astounding,I thought I Heard about all of Oliver's adventures but no These were new,it's great how you illustrated it with the pictures and voice,cheers for this ,I've literally fell over with laughter, might be the vodka I'm having while watching these, surprised it's only got two comments, more will be coming in,just wait,I've only just found these, write onto part three.
Thanks Sean, I really enjoyed doing these. Regarding your observation of the very few comments, I am not too bothered as I am of a generation which sits awkwardly in today's social media world. Like Ollie having been brought up to believe that boasting and continually talking about ones self was bad manners or 'bad form' as Oliver would have said. So making these is really to provide some entertainment to a few friends and people such as yourself who appreciated this giant of a man, his generosity, humour and his talent. Cheers for now
@@houseofmagicuk1 More fans of Oliver will discover your work,it's just that it's at the bottom of the KZread section with Oliver's interviews,so fans don't know of it yet,I'm planning a Oliver Reed pub crawl soon,just the pubs he went to when he was based in that huge mansion in Surrey, just researching the area now, is it true that Oliver's old mansion has been converted into appartments, just wondering if that was correct,thanks again,Simon.
@@seanstewart6893 I dont know what happened to Broome Hall
@@houseofmagicuk1 I'll look into it,Simon,in the meantime I didn't realise you were the owner of this fantastic restaurant and bar in London, look's fantastic,I regularly come to London for entainment,Leicester Square, and Covent garden are my stomping grounds, for drinking,now Corona is finished I'll be planning a trip,and will book a table at your place , definitely, fabulous website captures the energy of the place,can't wait,Look forward to it, Cheers.
@@seanstewart6893 yes ok, best time it when we have a show
i was so in awe of that show he did on channel 4 it was sad when it ended i cried as wouldnt see it again i loved the magic he did and all the other acts it ws such a shame it finshed when it did
Thank you Angela, yes it was shame I had to end the TV show but it was inevitable. However I went on to build the Secret Cabaret in real life in London and we do public shows every month. Pop down to see us!! www.houseofmagic.co.uk/
Fabulous!!!

Sensational and outrageous! Thanks for sharing these amazing stories with us, Simon. I still think an audio book of your memoirs would be a sensation - you read/perform so evocatively. x
I love your impression of him. You should really write a book. X
I was lucky my first introduction to Rob was him playing with his band Possum Dixon, Glad to see him still being creative.
I heard this song when I was about a year old or so, and i think it really affected me. I remember hearing some years ago that this song was awesome in terms of the video and music.
It’s amazing that this guy had seen so much of the burgeoning rock business in the 60s and 70s and been a major albeit nearly silent contributor. Even though the crude digital guitar pierces the track, the rhythm is hypnotic and the saving-grace of a vocal harmony soars on it. Really nice stuff.
Brilliant Magician 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

I tried a bit of dancing cane - it was a disaster lol you make it look so easy. Hope the pandemic isn't affecting your place too much. Rest assured we're coming back down in 2021 with family this time and I'm planning on clearing out your shop. I do need to stop concentrating on buying things though and actually do a bit of book study. Any books you would recommend? Thanks in advance for any advice at all
Yes the pandemic has indeed affected our venue. We were lucky to get in two sold out Halloween shows at limited numbers but the usual Xmas season is really restricted with only one event (usually we do at least a dozen). I am not sure what books to recommend, depends what kind of magic you are into. Also we sell a few nice magic effects online including my one and only lecture on DVD. www.houseofmagic.co.uk/magic-shop Looking forward to seeing you in the new year!
Does anyone please have the lyrics to this song? Could you post here please?
The polythene sofa photo 🤣🤣🤣
Ah, the allures of Lewisham. Do they have a tourist board?
Its very likely and we shall look into it. No doubt a comment from them would be an asset.
love
