  • Sorry 7!!! But still too young to understand

  • Actually six

  • I was only 5 when he tragically died, I would run to my mummy and tell her to come and watch smart with me, she would shake her head and say it wasn't on. It took my mum a while to tell me that he had hung himself but I didn't know what she meant, all I knew was that I wanted my hero back! When I was told in more basic words, It was the worst thing that had ever happened to me. Even though he had been on the show in the 90s, I had been watching it all my life and to me, Mark was the only artist

  • RIP MARK, HE WAS A GREAT PERSON, THE CLIP ON THIS VIDEO HIS LEARNING ABOUT RELIGIONS..SOME PEOPLE WOULDNT CARE ABOUT THIS TYPES OF THINGS BUT HE DID.

  • I was so shocked about his death a few years ago :'( He was one of my favourite artists :/

  • thank you for my childhood. you will be missed. :'(

  • @zozanday Im educated my friend, educated in the barbaric, retarded ways of islam, that's why i hate it so much!

  • @zozanday shut up muslim idiot....

  • I used to love watching SMart, now it isn't the same.

    RIP Mark

  • People need to save themselves YOUR time could be coming soon. Say there is one god Allah and Muhammad is his final messenger and you will be saved god willing.

  • Shut up, mong.

  • God is great.

  • the center tile looks a little mushy, no?

  • well done mark great work.five stars rip mark

  • RIP mark. he made me laugh so much and amazed me so much.

  • he's hot, he seemed like a nice polite talented man, such a shame it had to end this way.

  • this guy was awsome man, really one of those people that you cant replace on childrens tv.

    RIP Mark

  • R.I.P

    he always made me laugh x

  • Bless him R.I.P

    he always used to make me laugh

  • it is the 1st anaversy of his death today ppl

  • so if one of your family members died from lung cancer because they had been smoking (not saying anyone in your family smokes) you would call them stupid and think that it is "sheepish" when people mourned them? i dont think so...

  • Im not sure if your comment is for me but I presume it is; Firstly, I haven't said anything crude or disrespectful- I was stating facts. Secondly there are smokers in my family and if they died of course I would be upset but I wouldn't pretend that the cause of their death wasn't stupid because it would be. My reference to sheepish voyeurism was that whenever things like this happen there is an irrational outpouring of shallow grief from people who didn't even know the man.

  • Mark we will miss you

    and we will salute to you

  • Idiots. Bunch of pillocks; I agree with you Vicki, but honestly, anyone dissing Mark must be stupid.

    markspeightsghost - get the hell off YouTube.

    and Ralphinio - you're blatantly just an arsehole.

    R.I.P. Mark Speight, you were a wicked artist and performer!

  • rip x

  • what is wrong with everyone? he was an amazing person and an amazing artist and presenter. it is so so sad.

    x

  • luv you and miss u mark r.i.p

  • What a marf what a marf what a North and South, blimey what a marf she's got, OI!

  • grow up child!

  • Just a wee snippet from that delightful Bermondsey scamp Tommy Steele. I believe it illustrated my point effectively, albeit bluntly. He was anything but a commoner and achieved more recognition and respect in his life than you could ever hope to. Kill yourself.

  • everyone will miss you, you are an art ledgend

  • Please watch your language, Vicki. Swearing like that is terribly vulgar, especially for a lady.

  • don't be so sexist. i was replying to someone who was very ignorant. It's 2008, if a woman wants to swear, we can, especiialy when someone is vulgar. read what they said, then maybe you will not judge. If you can't see that I was merely defending the poor guy, then there is something wrong with you. So, "I guess it's "terribly vulgar", I'll go and suck on my silver spoon now... thats terribly good!"

  • and read what other people are put first, ralphino, before you judge me. it's"terribly" ungentlemanly like for you to be so inconsiderate!

  • oh but they can paint plany. Aren't they alive. So Islamic art is vegitarian?

  • They can't paint animals or people? Is that right?

  • Listen up kids, this planet is fucking heaving with people. Unique flora and fauna are becoming extinct because of our selfish demands and our 'right' to life. Hail to the church of euthanasia; suicide, abortion, homosexuality.

  • Anything for my fans!

  • Thats a fucking terrible thing to say.

  • you dickhead. do you even have a heart? say that to his family, you spineless piece of shit!

  • sorry, was that comment supposed to be funny?

  • Not much of an artist is he.

    Has he retired? He used to be on the telly all the time but I haven't seen him for ages.

  • "Has he retired!"

    Nah.The Beeb just didn't renew my contract.

    I think you'll find me hanging around your local station!

  • is this a joke..

    dickhead

  • He did retire, but not only that. Bcoz he woz so upset and stressed about losing his girlfriend and then being acused of mudering her, he very tragicly comitted suicide :(

    R.I.P Mark!

  • he's dead. idiot. watch the news! the death of his long time girlfriend destroyed him. trying watching some news in the world.

  • Oooh, thanks for letting me know as I was totally oblivious to that fact. Was it a car crash or something? I hope it wasn't some drug fuelled suicide brought on by the guilt of murdering his bird with yet more drugs.

  • Mark was such a talented man,i still can't believe he's gone .R.I.P Mark xxx

  • Rip mark

    we all love you

    you were amazing

    xxxxx

  • i cried when i found out from the bafta awards, sigh. And he was so great in SMart, i bet they have to cancle the show now.

    Anyway, Rest in peace Mark.

    Draw well, Draw well...

  • does anyone know the name of the song which starts playing after around 20 seconds?? i really want to know. thanks:)

  • American Beauty Theme tune

  • no such thing as god and mark died simply because he was sad.

  • He was my favourite :( Rip Mark

  • yes exactly we r on the same page

  • yeah 4 sure these people need 2 sort themselfs out everytime summit goes wrong u know wot i mean

  • that is my point

  • I Used To watch it every day now theres no point :( **R.I.P** Mark Il Miss You **R.I.P**

  • the quran loves a line as much as mark speight does

  • that made me lol

  • I'm actually quite surprised - not just by some of the delightfully mental conservative religious sentiment in this comment thread, but by the way he's been left alone by the tabloids. I thought he would have been demonized by all and sundry by now, but Fleet Street did it right for once - they acknowledged his drug problem, as is their duty as journalists, but focused mainly on the tragedy of his death instead of deriding him as some sort of child corruptor.

  • Legend. Will miss him, first time I've seen him in action since his death. RIP

  • Poor bloke.

  • Guys, just ignore El9ino - he's clearly trolling, playing off the sensitivity of religious viewpoints that always come up when a man's died. Not that he's not a jerk or anything, he just doesn't actually believe a word he's saying, and is just doing it because somewhere out there, he's showing his buddies this page every day and they're giggling in fits of laughter cause of the vitrol they're illiciting from you.

    Don't feed the trolls, guys. : P

    RIP Mark.

  • My god there are some fucked up people around. What on earth do you get out of slagging off someone who has passed away.

    Mark Speight was a decent person and did alot with his life. No-one can take that away.

    Balanced people don't leave vile comments about someone they've never met like a few of the ones of the below and they haven't even given thought that a relative may read their vitriole.

    RIP Mark and Natasha.

  • R.I.P Mark

    And as for the inbred El9ino, go die. While your doing that can i borrow your Quran? I'm all out of toilet roll.

  • just take bak what u said cos thats too offensive, the quran is more important than my family. imagine i cussed ur family like u cussed the quran. just take it bak n stop bein ignorant. btw im rly tryna be polite 2 u, even tho ur not worth it but i gota defend my religion with some dignity

  • Ok, I've apologised. Sorry. I'm an atheist/agnostic, so I don't really care about religion. But I respect your views! Sorry! Just that twat annoyed me really badly!

  • Ok, i apologise for that comment! Just get pissed off when people say horrilbe, unecessary things - because of their religion. Still, El9inop is a twat.

  • thanx, yea i agree with you about El9inop, some ppl need to chill. tc x

  • leave him to rest and take a look at your on lives first before judging people. you must be fucked up if you want to slag departed people off on the internet.

  • i could listen to Marks voice all day. So sad to see him gone

  • R.I.P

  • He was a genius. Let him R.I.P

  • such a shame about his death. Talented man

  • what a shame : (

  • STUPID FUCKING DRUG TAKING IDIOTS!!! :'(

    they shouldnt have died like that why oh why do people take drugs so carelessly... and yeah, maybe he sould have stopped her but to be fair she had a mouth too she could have said no but no, and now their dead....A whole good life for one moment of stupidity its just not right. and Im not disrespecting mark here at all I love the guy but still, just goes to show how stupid drug taking is... just a shame two decent live were lost on one incident. :(

  • It wasn't 'one moment of stupidity', it was obviously part of their lifestyles.

  • And it was one moment that made them take the drugs in the first place and decide it was a good thing to continue and why the fuck is my comment getting thumbs down!? I freakin loved Mark Speight! and I wasnt insulting them as people at all... I was speaking in genaral about how stupid drugs are read the rest of my comment not just the first line!

    Life lesson here dont mess with drugs no one is "indistructable".

    RIP Mark. <3

  • I agree. I DID admire Mark, but every1 should know that although drugs leave u on a high @ first, they take u on a low later. I have not and will not EVER take drugs bcoz I've heared MANY times how dangerous they r!

    If only they cld've had 1 glass of Champaign each, a big cake and invited all their friends and familly. Y oh y did they did they decide 2 take drugs? If they had done wat I've just put, they wld've had a MUCH nicer time & still been alive 2day. Wat a shame! :(

  • I actually seriously agree with the second bit of this. That's wonderful.

    What a delightfully Father Ted-esque view of the world. "Why take cocaine when you can have a lovely bit of cake instead?"

  • poor bloke , its a shame he was good at what he done , watching him must have got alot of kids into art

  • but u can argue whats the point of living if he was so depressed? i cant imagine losing a loved one under such circumstances, so i can only imagine what he must have been going through. he will be missed by so many, he was so talented. im still coming to terms with the fact that my favourite presenter is gone! my heart goes out to his family and friends, as well as those of Natasha.

  • ladywithadifference,

    WTF ARE YOU GOING ON ABOUT? you should respect the dead not say they are in hell - and i very much doubt you know how it felt to be in Mark's shoes at that time, so dont judge! I can only imagine what he must have been going through and for some people in that situation its just to much. How would you like it if someone you love did what Mark did and then some othr person just went and said it was self centered?! Think before you speak lady! R.I.P

  • Well said. It's easy to point the finger when not dealing with the thoughts he was obviously dealing with. RIP.

  • That's right. As I've just said, it's up 2 God 2 judge, not us. I know I've said this already, but I just like 2 emphasise.

  • He is not in hell. Bringing smiles to millions of childrens faces, he was a very bright and happy man but he DID get involved in drugs with his girlfirend. And seeing his girlfriend like that knowing that it was partly his fault messed him up thats y he commited suicide. Plus with the language you have used i would have thought you kno roughly wat ur talking about but saying a much loved presenter desevered wat he got and him and his girlfriend is in hell is just wrong.

  • U're SORT OF right. If only some1 cld've randomly come up 2 him & reminded him how much God, his fans, friends & familly loved him, then he might've still been with us

    2day.

    On the other hand, u can't just say that he & his girlfriend r definetly in hell. Even though they weren't Christians and the Bible says "Nobody comes 2 the Father excpet through me", It's Jesus and God who decide Whether they're in heaven or hell, not us. I just pray that God and Jesus hav mercy on them! :(

  • wots with the whole god loves him thing were was god wen mark needed him and wen natasha needed him and why shud god judge him i thought he was all forgiving wot a load of crap

  • As I've said on many comments b4, we don't know wat Marks last thoughts were and God is a "just" God, who judges fairly. God WAS there wen Mark died, but he chose NOT 2 interfere I DON'T know why he chose not 2 interfere, but whatever God does or doesn't do is 4 a purporse. We will find out what Gods purpose 4 NOT interfering is on the day that Jesus returns 2 the eath.

  • shut up

  • shut up

  • ladywithadifference

    To say one of the best loved childrens tv presenters is now in hell, is the single most obnoxious and inapropriate thing i've ever heard. Would you say that to his grieving family??

  • oh for fucks sake

    im sure you have never made a mistake in your life right bitch?

    i have never touched drugs and yes i think people are stupid for doing so but the drugs didnt kill him

    he killed himself cos he loved his fiancé so much and couldnt live without her

    maybe one day youll learn what its like to have that kind of unconditional love

    though with your attitude - i fucking doubt it

    what a "effing tragedy" it must have been to your mother when she gave birth to you.heartless fuck!

  • rest in peace big fella, he's colouring in the big crayola book in the sky

  • This man has a family who loved him, and he also loved them very very much.

    Some of you are utterly disgusting, I hope you realise that some day.

  • He hung himself and his girlfriend died getting in a hot bath!! what the f**k`s that got to do with drugs you sanctimonious cow??

  • Fuck you.

  • Shut Up "ladywithadifference"

    When someone commits suicide, they are influenced by irrational thoughts; they are mentally unstable... which over rule the loving feelings he had for the people around him. You can't accuse someone of being inconsiderate when their mental state is very much out of the ordinary! So maybe you should think more carefully about the accusations you make, keep them to yourself; and realise Mark Speight was one of if not the favourite Childrens TV Presenter!

    xx

  • you are a joke!

  • I quite agree. It's not like he just went through an absolutely harrowing loss (made even more harrowing by feelings of partial responsibility) and shouldn't be hounded like scum now that he's tragically died - you're right, he did drugs one time so let's oil up the corpse, dip him in cocaine and parade him around the streets of London like a sadistic Sherbert Fountain to teach everybody what happens when you do drugs. After all, no other famous people do drugs.

  • good response, i enjoyed reading what you had to say. makes me question my comment.

  • Having read the above comments I feel somewhat neutral- some people are being very sheepish in pretending theres nothing wrong with doing drugs. When someone in public life dies tragically silly little sheep endorse a sort of slavish voyeuristic people worship; its a sort of martyrism. On the other hand, it is crude and disrespectful to say 'he deserved it'. Mr Speight was a talented and decent man but he was also a naive drug user; they are FACTS

  • relax. someone you love will die. it will all make sense then.

  • panopticon7- I understand my comments appeared insensitive- that was not the intention. I was just pointing out that drug abuse is clearly dangerous and I just can't stand people pretending it isn't. The comments were nothing personal against Mr Speight and if you read them again you will see that. And don't presume I have not lost people close to me- I have.

  • I know you wrote this ages ago, but I think it needs to be pointed out that Mark wasn't "a naive drug user", it was his fiance Natasha that was the drug user and overdosed, Mark was so distraught over her death that he hanged himself, there is no evidence that he (or she) was a regular drug user, she may even have intended suicide.

  • XsupermeXx- It was never intended as a personal attack on Mr Speight. I liked the guy. But this is just proof of the damage drugs do. Reports at the time mentioned drug issues. Granted they may have been exagerated; I can't really remember but unless every media outlet was completely wrong drugs were involved at some point. It just angers me when people trivialize drug abuse.

  • Yes, drugs WERE involved at some point, but HE wasn't "a naive drug user", you impled he was responsible for his death because he was mixed up in drugs, when in fact he wasn't at all- Natasha was involved in drugs, he was trying to get her off them, and when she died he killed himself because he felt responsible for not helping her sooner.

  • Minus 2? I don't mind people disagreeing with my comments but really this minus thing is so childish- its like a bloody popularity contest. So if you disagree with me just say so, please don't minus- its petty. Ive never understand why youtube has this.

  • @CULAVE I know its 2 years ago but i'm gonna have to remonstrate with the verbose bullshit you wrote. There is reasons why people take drugs - for example his fiance was in a car accident that effectively finished her career. I can tell you have never done drugs, which isn't a criticism, but it also means you need to STFU because you don't know any of the circumstances. Secondly, it wasnt the drugs that killed him, was it? You need to put your thesaurus down and learn a lesson in life. FACT.

  • plecman- Sheep

  • ladywithadifference- I agree; I don't understand why people are being so negative about your comments; its not being disrespectable to Mr Speight; just stating a fact- that doing hard drugs is stupid.

  • Awwhh i carnt beleve it it doesnt seem real :( bless him R.i.p && M.H.S.R.I.P

  • Rest In Peace Mark! You will be sadly missed!!

  • i got his and natasha's autograph when i won a competition from see it saw it when i was like 7 i was so chuffed (= Now hearing this news - its so hard to beleive. RIP

    Hope you got what u wanted - peace together in heaven x

  • Can't believe he has died, such a shame

  • Can't believe he has died, such a shame

  • i remember him now =( He was great on that show. I only watched the show in the morning before school and it was really good and he was really good aswell.

  • He was amazing and always seemed like such a lovely bloke!

    He will be missed!

  • Ahh, i still can't believe he's dead, he just seems to lovely and down to earth, such a sad shame.

  • Oh my god, i cant believe this poor man has died and there are saddos having a go...who says if you commit suicide you are in eternal hell, the guy was in hell anyhow, this is the reason he was led to do such a tragic thing. My thoughts are with his family, let the guy rest in peace now.

  • for fucks sake who cares what the bible says about suicide.im sorry but once youre born its your own choice to take yourself out if and when you want to - not someone elses.if its gods choice and he in effect decides to end your life then he is in fact a murderer! this video has nothing to do with the bible or any religious beliefs.its about a mans talent as an artist and an entertainer.leave it at that and go back to fucking church and preach asshole.

    beautiful video btw.thank you!

    RIP mark x

  • so ur sayin everyone who uses drugs are all bad people i dont think so.

  • how in the world could you get from my comment that i participate in incest? lmfao omg youre so random in your insults its pathetic.btw i dont think religious people are supposed to use the kind of foul language you do either.im ok,cos im agnostic actually - not atheist.if you are so uninterested in him or people who like him why you commenting on his videos? lol btw i do suck cocks cos im a woman you stupid cunt!and i hear hells nice and warm,i could do with a hot holiday,sing me up;) mwahs:P

  • are you ok mate? looks like you need to see someone for your problems. everyones allowed an opinion!

  • El9ino=shit

    R.I.P Mark You will be missed

  • I know he took drugs and commited suicide and I DO belive that that's against the Bible, but I think that he was SO upset and didn't really think wen he commited suicide. maybe he thought "If I kill myself, then I'll b back with Tash."

    I know the Bible says "Nobody comes 2 the Father expect through me", but we never know wat his last thoughts were. I just pray th@ God had mercy on him & that he's in a better place.

    R.I.P Mark!

  • I remember watching him on SMart when I was a kid. He always seemed, and according to everyone who knew him, was a thoroughly nice, down-to-earth bloke. It's sad to think of the grief he was carrying that caused him to take his own life. Could all Muslim and Christian apologists please go fuck themselves and quit sullying this page with their arrogant comments. There's plenty of other videos with reams of comments for you both to have your cyber wars with each other. R.I.P. Mark.

  • Only if you stop refreshing this page and whatever other ones you're working on, just so you can see the reactions you're getting from your "morality war". Don't forget to hound me for being a homosexual now that you've suggested I suck a cock. Gotta be consistent you little piece of shit.

  • lovely bloke x

  • i am sad

  • We loved Mark Speight, he was very talented and an inspiration to all of us.He will be sorely missed. We cannot believe he has gone bu not forgotten God rest Him x

  • What an amazing artist, and a fab tv presenter. He really connected with the kids. He'll be forever missed :(

  • I loved watching mark draw on SMart, his cartoons were wicket. I can't believe he's gone... It's so sad

  • =( heeeeeeeeeees dead whhha he was so cool

  • He had a probblem with drugs and so was his girlfriend, so what? This is a very sad story, the guy was talented & interesting TV personality, he could have had a great careeer. I bet he inspired a lot of kids to be creative and that's what it maters.

    Rest in oeace both of them.

  • my god is mark dead?!

  • oh my gosh .. ma lil sister has a crush on him lol she onli 6 and yesterday she asked me y he isnt on t.v any more . it was so sad i had to explain heaven agen...and she started crying r.i.p legand :'[

  • it just hasnt sunk in, he was such an inspiration to us, a true legend.

  • :( Legend :'(

    Bin Watching SMart since i was a kid!!

    Cant believe Marks Dead!! :(

    El9ino: Keep ur fucking comments 2 ur self if u aint got nothing decent 2 say then fuck off!! Fuckin Idiot :@:@

  • Like I said earlier; I'm ignorant. That's why I'm no longer responding to you after this. Haven't you realised it is YOU that is SAD enough to keep refreshing this page to see if someone has different views to yourself? You love arguing, don't you. Luckily I'm not that sad, and I'm going to visit some porn. I'm not going to sit here all day refreshing the page to start arguments because people have different opinions to yourself.

  • El9ino you holier than thou nutter

    Why don't ya just stick ya Bible Bashing foolishness somewhere where the sun does not shine.

    Mark has suffered terrable emotional stress that you or I could never imagine.

    Let the poor Soul Rest in Peace, you idiotic fanatic.

  • El9ino

    Please you are making me laugh, blabbing on to justify your rubbish talk is not working. Your sick get help! Clearly from the response to your absurd comment, no one agrees with your fundamentalist views.

    You are a dangerous individual, terrably abhorrent.

    May you remember your ridiculous babble, when a loved one of yours dies, may you have the strength to smile and be jolly in the aftermath of a bereavement.

    Dude, crawl back into that hole and Please stay there!

  • wow.. shows u have never been loved, and never have loved, tbh your a waste of space in this world, and some day your mouth will get you killed.

  • Careful boys, this guy means business - he's making vaguely threatening assertions on the internet! He may even post a video response if we're not careful!

  • You are scum El9ino,absolute scum!! I hope you realise how disgusting u are! If u feel that way keep it to yourself u fucking prick!!

  • you're a complete heartless disrespectful pathetic piece of shit. how dare you say that about Mark Speight, he was one of the most genuine down to earth people on tv. Your comments make me sick!
