Oh... bollocks. Neil Peart, age 67. Glad I got to see him on Rush's final tour.  :'(

That's sad. I think a re-watch of Yes, Minister is in order. One of the best television shows ever, due in no small part to this terrific actor.

I think he was the last of the cast remaining to us, no? Proper end of an era.

My girlfriend's grandad was the Producer for Yes Minister/Prime Minister, among many other things (think he directed an episode or two as well?) We have the 1982 BAFTA sitting on our sideboard at home. I never met him, to my regret; I'd have had so many questions...!

Basil Brush's Tweet genuinely set me off.

Yes, much as I loved Eddington and Hawthorne, it was the third more understated performance of that trio that made it all work so brilliantly. RIP Mr. Fowlds.

Great keepsake to have, Jimbo!

Amazing.

I'm not sure of the Actor, but I seem to remember a Journalist conducting an interview with them discovering that they used their Oscar as a door stop for their downstairs bathroom!

Gutted to hear about Fowlds. RIP.

Can't speak for an Oscar, but the BAFTA is a ludicrously heavy thing!

Derek Fowlds used to stay at a hotel I used to work at in Leeds in the 90's when he was shooting Heartbeat he was always such a genuinely nice man to all the staff and any customer who recognised him. A true gent  a great lose
