A Lovely Lovely Man and a True Gent, whatever he was in I enjoyed he is greatly missed RIP Derek.😢

[@arslongavitabrevis5136]

Very nice words, I could not put it better. I discovered Derek Fowlds in Australia watching "YES, MINISTER" and later on I saw him on "YES, PRIME MINISTER" and "HEARTBEAT". From my limited experience in Australia where I watched a lot of British TV series and films thanks to ABC, I would say that the 1970s and 1980s were the Golden Age of British television; it carried on a bit in the 1990s (MORSE, AS TIME GOES BY and LEWIS) but it was ruined by "political correctness" and "diversity" 🤮🤮🤮

What a lovely, gentle, modest, man Derek Fowlds was!

[@RABBITANDSNAIL]

He certainly was Mark. A terrific actor and so down to earth, not affected by his fame. Sadly missed.

[@user-gw3kn3qr6d]

What an absolutely genuinely lovely man. May God Rest your Soul.

[@callumclarke1733]

What a Generation of people they've all gone.

[@cosmicstargazer10]

But, they live on, on Talking Pictures TV! I'm so grateful for that channel. Many of the things I watch, I wasn't even born then - it's fun to say things like "my mum was 7 years old when this came out", or, at times I can say "I was just an infant or small child back then". Noel Cronin BEM & his daughter, Sarah, along with their wonderful TPTV team, are truly serving a community of people, those of us that are bored rigid by, the at times so crass & vulgar, banality on TV these days.

[@AndyP85]

I go back to his time with Basil Brush, what a wonderful man.

[@fredharrowven1040]

😅I was very lucky to have met Derek and what a wonderful person he was I just wish I had more time with him sadly missed bless him.

[@MikePhillipsTraining]

What a beautiful video. Such a wonderful, talented actor who shows such humility. Loved watching this. Thank you

[@PeterOHalloran-hf2ho]

Derek played the Sargent in Heartbeat to a tee and had some terrific lines with claude greengrass one of the best

[@malcolmdivorty6852]

Started watched Heartbeat in 1992 and I’m still watching it in reruns. Great English TV show with a fantastic cast

[@christiano8088]

What a great guy. So sad they've all gone.

[@brucemay5409]

Lovely video!I always liked Derek,and he lived locally to me (Trowbridge)Im also a great Heartbeat fan.Many thanks for this heart warming film

[@richardb3105]

I not read a post about Derek,s role in YES MINISTER &YES PRIME MINESTER.He played his role to perfection as in the fact that he was a subordonate but had more çommon sense than his superiors.From Basil Brush i always looked forward to a programme that Derek appeared in.Missed.

[@LVPAcharn]

Thank you SO much for posting this brilliant & heart-warming documentary. Mr Fowlds recounting his Mum opening the letter from RADA about his scholarship made me cry! I can now watch this whenever I wish - I'm watching it on Talking Pictures TV right now :0)

[@xr6lad]
