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" 🤮🤮🤮

Brilliant in heartbeat

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

What a wonderful interview , a life well lead

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

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

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

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

😅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.

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

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

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

Such a great actor 😢

Wonderful series. Great actors and setting.

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

Brilliant actor and a lovely man,

Very down to earth and grounded. Enjoyed this and the honest insight into some actors

What a Generation of people they've all gone.

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.

i loved him with Basil Brush. Boom boom

Lovely man. God bless sarge

@@RABBITANDSNAIL you made this film?! I didn't read the bumph at the top. Indeed, what an honour, to document the career & life of this truly wonderful & gentle, gentleman. Yes, terrific actor, too. You lucky duck, you got to meet him!

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)

Hotel Paradiso......a sadly neglected box office gem.....Derek Foulds....brilliant.....they were all brilliant.....but Douglas Byng...he and Alec Guinness they were superb....Douglas Byng....also a sadly neglected genius....to quote the poet laurate....sir John Beijeman
