    He was fantastic!

    What was it, eight episodes or so? That show left a giant mark.

    Classic comedy. I'm lucky I got the DVD set as a present. There were two series with 6 episodes each.

    Was saddened to hear this today.
    I have enjoyed the 12 shows so many times over.
    The whole crew did a fantastic job.
    Don't mention the war.
    RIP Andrew.

    I like the fact that Andrew Sach's first language was German and he didn't think he could do a Spanish accent when asked about the role by John Cleese.
