Derek Fowlds on Yes Minister, Basil Brush, Heartbeat & Returning to the Stage

PRODUCTION DIARY #9 - Derek Fowlds on Yes Minister, Basil Brush, Heartbeat & Returning to the Stage. Derek Fowlds has been at the heart of British film and television since the 1960s, when he first entered our homes on the BBC as Mr Derek, the side-kick to the irascible Basil Brush. It's a role he admits that he was not keen to continue after the first series. He was a serious actor, after all. A graduate of the prestigious Royal Academy of Dramatic Art. But the pressure to find work persuaded him to take-on the second series and he never looked back. We had the absolute pleasure of spending a wonderful afternoon with Derek at his home recently, recording an interview for our upcoming documentary, PETER CUSHING: In His Own Words. Here's another part of the special interview that Derek recorded for our behind the scenes PRODUCTION DIARY series. https://rabbitandsnail.com/peter-cush...   / rabbitandsnailfilms     / rabbitandsnail     / rabbitandsnailfilms
