 RIP Derek FowldsDerek Fowlds (2 September 1937 – 17 January 2020) was an English actor, best known for playing Bernard Woolley in the British television comedies Yes Minister and Yes Prime Minister, and Oscar Blaketon in the long-running ITV police drama Heartbeat, a role he played for 18 years. Derek will always be Bernard Woolley in Yes Minister / Yes Prime Minister to me |

I really did - though not religiously, just when it was on. Quite liked it at the time*
*see also The Good Life, Father Dear Father, Terry and June etc.
We were starved of entertainment back in the day

I'm not still watching them now. This was the 70s remember, when I was also watching The Sweeney, The Persuaders, The Big Match, TOTP, Monty Python, The Goodies etc.
I plan to watch Derry Girls, not got round to it
In terms of modern(ish) comedy I like...
This Country, Man Called Mobeen, Peep Show, Mighty Boosh, Charlie Brookers Screenwipe etc.
Always on the look out for good new comedy - so any top tips gladly received

Its difficult as a lot of shows think they're funny but aren't. Ie anything with James Corden in it. Everybody Loves Raymond? |
