May God Bless you Paul. You brought so much happiness to me in your role as Jim Hacker and I never stop laughing at you, Nigel and Derek. May God Bless Nigel too. Both of you are sadly missed and much loved

I just found out, through this video, that the date of Eddington's death is the exact date as that of Yitzhak Rabin's, Nov. 4, 1995. It made me think of how C.S Lewis, Aldous Huxley and JFK all died in Nov. 22, 1963. Now look when this video was uploaded!

why do they show a clip of Yes Minister in which he hardly has any lines?

Superb actor but I have to agree with you I've had a crush on him for about 25 years myself.

[raintree93]

I've had a crush on Paul Eddington for 30 years- since I was six years old. My most favorite actor- ever.

I believe this is from Monday 6th Novermber 1995 because the 4th was a Saturday

@girlsnextdoor92 Ah, yes. The last episode of Yes Minister. Thanks.

[girlsnextdoor92]

@Raikaage It is from "Party Games", which is the long episode in which Sir Humphrey becomes Cabinet Secretary and Hacker becomes Prime Minister.

[Raikaage]

"Humphrey, you're threatening me!", "No Minister, I'm helping you."

Which episode is that from?

He was fantastic, both as Jerry Leadbetter and as Jim Hacker. I loved Yes Minister and Yes Prime Minister first time around and I still regularly watch episodes from both on DVD :)
