Sadly, He’s the Last Surviving Please Sir Cast Member

[@harryharrison2633]

David Barry, who played Frankie Abbot, Carol Hawkins who played Sharon, Peter Cleall who played Duffy are all still alive, and working as well.

[@christopherpearson3266]

Deryck Guyler played Norman Potter who was the caretaker in Please Sir. Mr Price was the Welsh school teacher. You Americans should pay proper attention to the series and get your facts right.

[@hicksteriatv1239]

Peter Cleall (Eric Duffy) is still around... age 79... Now an actors' agent. As is Jill Kerman (Penny Wheeler), now 77.

....but very witty...😂😂

Correction: The Janitor (caretaker) was Mr. Potter, not Mr. Price or Mr. Potts.

[@johnp8131]

Loved this as a kid and it was always on early enough for me to watch as a nine or ten year old. Many may also recognise Joan Sanderson from a cameo she had in Fawlty Towers as the awkward guest with the hearing aid? And it's "Zed Cars" as the vast majority of world would pronounce it.

[@nigem6611]

My thoughts entirely.

[@barrysax2109]

Communication problems the (fawlty towers) episode joan Sanderson was in

[@andrewwalker9421]

Joan Sanderson also featured in an episode of RISING DAMP ; It was the PINK CARNATIONS one!

[@AngusMacKinnon-xm5ko]

PRECISELY!!!

[@DrMontague]

She played Mrs Alice Richards. It wasn't a cameo role as she was central to the whole story line, it revolved around her character. Cameo means a brief appearance.

[@jeffward9174]

My favourite student was Carol Hawkins. I only watched the program because of her. Now though she is 74 years old.

[@Westwoodii]

Carol of course played Sharon, the class bombshell, but the first Sharon (in episodes up until 1971) was played by Penny Spencer, equally bombshell. Both still look great in their mid-70s.

[@franceskronenwett3539]

Carol Hawkins was the second actress who played Sharon, one of the students. I personally preferred her predecessor, Penny Spencer.

[@wentonmastermind]

Derek Guyler was also a very enthusiastic wargamer, belonging as I did to the Society of Ancients, which was and is dedicated to research into ancient warfare and fighting battles from the safety of... the tabletop. Saw John Alderton as a distressed army veteran in Heartbeat.

[@christopherpearson3266]

Erik Chitty did Not die on July 22nd, 1970. He appeared in Doctor Who - The Deadly Assassin , which was transmitted on BBC1 in 1976! Get your facts right and do your research properly. He died on July 22nd, 1977.

Derek Guyler's character was Mr. Potts, not Price. Miss. Yule was the deputy head, not the headmistress. Mr. Smith was a history teacher. Mr. Price was the science teacher.

Blimmey i can honestly say every cast member was absolutely brilliant and necessary which made it work Joan WAS my favourite because I had a boss identical to her which no long tea ☕ breaks 😂 cheers Stephen 🍀✌️👍

[@wilhelmw3455]

Misleading title because many of the regular cast members also included the actors who played the students and some of them are still alive.

[@robinknox3569]

Was going to say that Peter Cleall might have something to say about that clickbait title.

....I think the actor who played the class ringleader Duffy has passed away..

I love his voice 😊

We pronounce it 'Zed Cars' -thanks for a great video.

Derek Guyler and his washboard lol.

[@sixtyshippee]

Its amazing really a ll this cast were old school actors of high quality for many years before the huge coverage that this series got made them household names in those years and as another respondent says Joan Sanderson will forever be thought of for that part the old bat in Fawlty towers the power of Television was then at a height we will not see again.

[@hawnyfox3411]

Haven't read the comments section yet, but, WHAT HAPPENED TO STUDENTS ; "DUFFY" & especially "SHARON" ?? SHARON (or the actress who played Sharon) was regarded at my high-school "As Fit As A Butcher's Dog" All, as in ALL the lads fancied her like crazy, both lusting & drooling over her It all got swept aside later in 1974 when Annifrid' ("Frida") & Agnetha turned-up singing "Waterloo" ("fit birds")

[@robertmcpherson2585]

Potter not Price, TRY AND DO A LITTLE RESEARCH ,,,

[@dvdvnr]

Agreed, and the narrator should learn how to pronounce "Bernard" as well!

Derek Guyler played Mr Potter not Price and was never in Doctor Who as far as my and IMDB's memory recalls ? Miss Yule was the Deputy Head not Headmistress. The Police series was called "Zed Cars" nor Zee Cars. Only 5/10 - Could do better.
