Oh, my! I LOVED THIS SERIES WHEN IT WAS ON, UMPTEEN YEARS AGO! I had forgotten the name, bur remembered Geoffrey Palmer to be in it! Thrilled to have found it here! Thank you!
SO SAD ABOUT THE PASSING OF GEOFFREY PALMER LOVE HIM WITH ALL MY HEART AND ALWAYS WILL 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
That's right Geoffrey Palmer was busy with other commitments and so therefore, couldn't return for series 2 of Executive Stress leading to Peter Bowles replacing Palmer in the role of Donald Fairchild.
I wrote that 5 yrs ago ha ha! I am well aware of the Executive Stress line up now. I have corresponded with both Geoffrey and Peter and met Peter several times. Was so sad to hear of Geoffrey Palmer's loss as he wrote such lovely letters.
@@blondewych Wow, a letter from Geoffrey Palmer would be something to treasure a bit like his lost letter to Jean! I first saw him as a teenager in Butterflies and he remained my favourite comedy actor. There was nothing in the news here in Australia, even though As Time Goes By was very popular here. I found out because of mass notifications relating to a Butterflies clip I posted years ago, and he's not even in it!
@@thecomedyspot11 Hi, yes Geoffrey Palmer was a bit of a legend here in UK. Best known for Ben in Butterflies by the great also lost writer Carla Lane. I have a signed photo of Geoff and correspondence relating to his time working with Judi Dench on "As time Goes By". Much missed and fabulous actor. Thanks so much for your kind response 🙂 By the way my name is Caroline, not Mandy Dunnit. Mandy Dunnit is a character by the amazing Dick Emery, another UK comedy great no more. My avatar is Dick as Mandy!!
Why did someone post this? Unamusing, canned laughter, boring dialogue, thin characters. The actors are fine, but even they couldn’t make a silk purse from a sow’s ear.
R.I.P Jeffry Palmer we’ll miss you greatly .

I recently watched all 3 series on dvd and they are well written and top class acting from all the actors/actresses.
Watched this when I was younger in the latest 80s early 90s. I think its safe the say the Internet can double as a time machine.

So sorry to hear of the passing of Peter Bowles. I really enjoyed watching him.
This is a nice biography/obituary of Geoffrey Palmer... @

Mr. Palmer only acted in the first series of Executive Stress. It has a very good story line....should have stayed with it....K
They should have had PK play Lionel's ex-wife.
This TV show had Peter Bowles as Penny Keith's hubby - where did Geoff Palmer come in? Was it for another audience than UK?
peter bowles was in to the manor born with penny keith
Geoffrey Palmer was the husband (Donald Fairchild) in Series 1. Then he was replaced with Peter Bowles.

Palmer and Keith have no chemistry

Because some do find it amusing - and anything with Penelope is usually v good.
You need to watch a full episode to enjoy Executive Stress. It's humour is more dry than many British comedies.
