Talk:Jack Warner (actor)

Untitled

• Before everyone starts going bonkers, "George Dixon" opened the show Dixon of Dock Green with the words: "Good evening all" and not: "'evening all" Even the BBC sites are incorrect, as per! Lion King 15:41, 11 May 2006 (UTC)

• I have contacted the BBC who told me they would review this matter and rectify.Lion King 16:54, 11 May 2006 (UTC)

• I have been informed by BBC Information that George Dixon's original geeting was "Good Evening All" from 1955 until it was changed to "Evening All in the early '70's.

Why does his work in Garrison Theatre during WW2 not rate a mention ? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 96.255.107.88 (talk) 12:15, 11 January 2009 (UTC)

Likewise his great comedy monologues like "Claude and his Sword" "Frank and his Tank" "'e didn't oughta a et it" etc. It is a shame that his music hall material is seldom taken into account as there was some superb material there. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 92.2.9.6 (talk) 19:34, March 31, 2009 (UTC)

Songwriting credits

Apparently he was a songwriter too: the credits in The Dummy Talks mention two songs with "words and music by Jack Warner", so it's far from impossible that he wrote much of his own music-hall material. Harfarhs (talk) 11:46, 19 February 2021 (UTC)

Anecdotal connections

I met Jack Warner fleetingly in 1978/9 in a Gloucester pub near to where he lived. He had a connection with my family since WWI, which he maintained until 1974. The stories are interesting to someone who owns his narrative and can connect it with the published record - if that someone exists, ping me.Geneus01 (talk) 05:36, 10 May 2023 (UTC)

Death and funeral

As I have noted at Talk:Dixon of Dock Green, the information in the Jack Warner section of the Dixon of Dock Green article includes detail not in this article and does not have the information that is here. Notable it says of the funeral that "Six Margate constables stood as guards-of-honour outside the chapel while delegations of officers attended (some coming from Wales and Newcastle upon Tyne), including 16 from the Metropolitan Police, led by Deputy Assistant Commissioner George Rushbrook and Commander John Atkins". Also it states that the funeral took place at "at Margate Crematorium". I am not sure if this contradicts the information here or how reliable the source is, but it might be something someone with better knowledge of Jack Warner's life wants to look at and see if it should/could be added in (and if appropriate edit the other article for consistency).
