Frightening to think the last episode of Yes Prime Minister was broadcast 39 years ago.

Mr Derek has died.

Another brilliant actor from my generation shuttles off this mortal coil.

The last episode of Yes Prime Minister was broadcast in 1988, so "only" 32 years ago.

Didn't Basil refer to him as Mr Creases?

Wonderful in Yes Minister and Yes Prime Minister, epitome of understated acting.

82 is a good innings but sad nevertheless.

Yes. Yes we do. It is actually quite sad; I grew up with him from Basil Brush to Yes Prime Minister. Can't believe he was 82! Didn't know he'd been in Heartbeat though, slightly surprised that that is the only show referenced by the OP. (Wasn't that just a vehicle for that bloke off Eastenders? Nigel Berry?)


EDIT: If someone was proposing a minute's applause/silence/jumping etc then yes, I'd agree with you.

Yes.
What happens when the Krankies pass from this mortal coil, we'll have all the resident Jockos moaning that no one has mentioned it on here

I've literally only just realised that he played the character in Heartbeat. Never put the two together before now. I guess that's the sign of a damn fine actor.
