Derek Fowlds "Sgt Oscar Blaketon"

Loved the guy in Heartbeat and Basil Brush in the early days.


1980–1984 Yes Minister Bernard Woolley

1983–1985 Affairs of the Heart Peter Bonamy

1986–1988 Yes, Prime Minister Bernard Woolley

1992–2010 Heartbeat Sgt. Oscar Blaketon

1992–1994 Firm Friends John Gutteridge

He took on some great parts and made them his own.

May he Rest In Peace

Always sad to lose a good actor. May angels fly him safely home.

I knew the name well but had to look him up. Another one of those actors that have been around for a long, long time; good actors without the bright lights of Hollywood.

RIP

R.I.P. Derek. We are currently watching the Hearbeat repeats as well as having the early 'Rowan Years' on DVD.

He played a great character.

Re: Derek Fowlds "Sgt Oscar Blaketon"

He had a good innings, but still sad when they go.
RIP Derek Fowlds.
