Even when dead, the BBC cannot fully endorse such a great career.

Fail to mention his long run in Heartbeat, probably because it was an ITV drama.

Missed this news. Have watched Yes Minister and Yes Prime Minister many times. Brilliant actor. Never heard of Heartbeat.

A soap-opera set in a mythical village, 'inland a bit from Whitby'.

Lovely scenery.
