[greenheart45]

@ukeelady You're welcome! Thanks for watching! :)

[24gwen24]

Wonderful work! Thank you so much for posting these clips. Love Martin Shaw.

[greenheart45]

@24gwen24 Thanks for your kind words!

[Yorkmum]

i've often wondered - how do you find all these clips? I've got some of it on DVD/video but there's stuff on here I've never heard of!

I take my hat off to you ( or i would do if I was wearing one!)

[greenheart45]

@Yorkmum Sorry, it took me a while to get to reply, was on holiday in UK. *happy grin* All of the archive clips you see here are given to me by Martin Shaw fans who collected and kept them for years. The same applies to the old interviews. They trusted me to digitalize them and post them here to be seen by everyone who is interested in MS. So I in turn I take my hat off to them for their kindness and generosity!

[froglilio]

thank you very much for sharing with us a fantastic compilation of his jobs.

Really brilliant

[greenheart45]

Very glad you liked it! :)

[ohtobeinengland]

Well done!

[greenheart45]

Thanks! :)

[towerbridge2006]

OMG that is wonderful. You have such a complete collection of his film and tv work. I have now been able to see snippets of many performances that I'd only heard of. Thanks so much for sharing. <3

[greenheart45]

Oh, far from complete... Most of his earlier work can only be watched in the British Film Institute, and some programmes are not archived. :(

Glad you liked the vid!

[Yorkmum]

thanks for posting - another great vid! A truely great tribute to an awesome bloke and a great career - long may it continue!

[greenheart45]

Very glad you liked it! Thanks for stopping by!

[turmlicht]

As I watch the time go by from the beginning of MS's career until today I see a truly fascinating man giving life to so many different characters. He's no one for the drawer where so many others live a contented life never showing any variation of talent.

Thanks for this intriguing collection and, of course, Happy Birthday, Martin Shaw - you are simply the best.

[greenheart45]

Thank you very much for your lovely comment!

[trfreitaslivre]

Damn! I love this man! Great actor and I have to say; the years only made well for him!

[Nornegest]

This is one of the best interpretations of the Vivace and Allegro sections I've heard so far. Impressive. Blends so well with the selection of clips.

Thank you as usual for your hard work and dedication.

PS. I've had to post again for the third time because my earlier comments were such goobledlygook. Apologies to everyone for the inconvenience

[greenheart45]

Thank you very much for your comment!

Martin Shaw chose not just this concerto, but also this exact interpretation when he presented his favourite music on Desert Island Discs - and yes, I too think it's outstanding.

[sadie646]

Wonderful, I have seen only a few of these so thank

[greenheart45]

Very glad you liked it! Yes, there are so many things you cannot buy anywhere...

[alicambs]

Impressive and wonderful to watch. I can't imagine how much time and effort you put into this, but I really appreciate it.

[greenheart45]

Thank you very much! It was a sheer joy to make it!

[angelfish45]

Chapeau, mon amie and a deep, deep bow :-)

YOU DID IT......You compiled a brilliant tribute to a wonderful man and actor.

I know how much hard work went into this project and I want to thank you for your perseverance and dedication.

Happy Birthday, Martin and all the best for the year to come!

[greenheart45]

Aw, you're making me blush... Anyone would be able to do the same if they had the films, the time and the patience (it takes some mental exersice to stay calm restarting Windows Movie Maker 150 times in 2 days, full Yogic breathing helps too:).

[Raylee1963]

absolutely brilliant Greenheart. A real credit to you :) Thank you so much for making so many people happy.

Best,

Lee

[greenheart45]

Thank you for being so kind Lee! I was happy when working on it - so maybe it's contageous. :)

[peggym033]

You have really excelled yourself with this one. It is a fitting 65th Birthday tribuite to a fine actor and a wonderful man.

It is amazing how he can change his looks from one character to the next so that you'd have trouble recognising him as the same man.

Happy Birthday Martin!!

[KleineKloek]

I think I'd still recognise him if he pulled a binliner over his head ;-)

[peggym033]

Oh yes! That gorgeous body has hardly changed over the years. :) It's the way he seems to change his face that gets me.

[greenheart45]

Thank you so much for your kind words!

Yes, it's incredible how he transforms his appearance and gestures when inhabiting a new character!

[SuperStudent78]

Thank you Greenheart. What a fantastic video. It's a wonderful job you have done - again...

[greenheart45]

This is so kind of you! The "job" was wonderfuly easy and joyful. :)

[KleineKloek]

Thank you ever so much for this wonderful collage!

I have enjoyed it incredibly, especially the bits in which I have never seen him before, being not an inhabitant of the UK.

Many happy returns of the day, for Martin and for all of his fans and admirers.

[greenheart45]

Thank you so much for your comment! I'm very glad you enjoyed it!

[pmgms1962]

Perfect, just perfect.

[greenheart45]

If you mean Martin Shaw - yes, definitely. :))

[ci5mates]

What a great compilation of Martin's works. You have done a beautiful job and I only hope he gets to view it. I'm sure he'd be impressed. It makes me feel worn out just watching all that he has done! Thanks for all your hard work.

[greenheart45]

Thanks a lot for your comment. It was truly amazing to see how rich and versatile his career was!

[jaicen5]

Oh you did it, you did it. It's wonderful and an amazing tribute, and I know how long it's taken to put together. I really hope he sees it somehow.

Happy Birthday Martin. And thank you for sharing your talent over the years.

[greenheart45]

Yes, it took quite a lot of time, but I enjoyed every second! If he really happens to watch it, maybe he'll see it not just as a tribute but also as an evidence of the dedication of the fan community - I was able to use very rare footage because many people loved him and cherished his work for so many years.

[kerryj18]

Excellent !!!!!! A wonderful tribute to a wonderful man. Enjoyed the clips of the tv clips I've never seen before. Well done :) xx

[greenheart45]

Thanks a lot! i was lucky to be shared with some really rare footage.

[inlovewithboth]

That's amazing. A real tribute. Thank you so much for sharing all those amazing clips.

xx

[greenheart45]

Thanks for your kind words! These clips just had to be shared...

[finnhere2]

Thank you so much, Greenheart, for this loving tribute made to perfect music (I happen to love this concerto too).

And thank you Mr Martin Shaw, for all the joy and light you have brought to us by your talent, skill and personality... Many Many Happy Returns!!!

[greenheart45]

Thank you very much! I'm happy you liked it!
