Very sad, thought he was great as Blaketon in Heartbeat!

I never really watched Yes Minister much. He'll always be Basil Brush's mate Mr Derek to me.

Sad news. I loved him in Yes Minister. RIP Derek.

[Deskdiary]

Yes he was great in Yes Minister and Yes Prime Minister - no question about that - but this is Chatterbank fodder, isn't it.

At this rate we'll have the ridiculous night night song in the News section.

[Mamyalynne]

We won't unless I get very lost.
