Yes, very sad news. Bernard was a great character - how many and varied ways was it possible to say the words “Yes, Minister” - I reckon he had about 7,000 different nuances.
He was fabulous as Mr Derek, too - I suspect that being able to hold his own with Fabulous Fox got him the gig in Yes Minister: only a really fine supporting actor could find space in a program mixing it with Nigel Hawthorne. |

Very well expressed Pies4shaw and thanks for alerting us WPT. An incredibly gifted actor, who brought a huge amount of enjoyment to viewers.
"Yes, Minister" was such a brilliant series - so insightful and hilarious at the same time. Must go and find some episodes to watch again...... |

It hasn’t dated too much and is still a hoot. So well written (and acted of course)
And so it began:
Episode 1, Season 1:

the episode when the French tried to bring a dog for the queen was pure brilliance from Fowlds. _________________ Annoying opposition supporters since 1967. |
