Did we ever see Sheridan?

BTW, with "NOYN," what was the point with Baker injured and axed?
. He was a regular in the Doctor comedy series in the early 1970s. I was watching him in The Four Just Men with Vittorio De Sica, shot in 1959. He was in an episode of Strange Report with Anthony Quayle. He also turned up in Danger Man in the mid-1960s with Patrick McGoohan. In the Danger Man episode, Lelia Goldoni is involved in bumping off his dad. She later turned up treating Lilimae after she ran Chip down.My goodness: Cooke and Mortimer really like Richard O'Sullivan, don't they. Two roles in the series and a major role in the film version. And they also cast him in lead roles in their other series of the era (and just afterwards): Alcock and Gander; Man About The House and Robin's Nest. Throw in Dick Turpin and Me & My Girl and it's no wonder I remember him being a televisual omnipresence during my childhood.
While I was aware of it, Brass passed me by when it first aired.
Maybe I could look into watching it. I have enjoyed the Corrie-esque style of Pardon The Expression and Nearest And Dearest, both of which shared production staff (and cast) with Corrie, so I have a feeling I'd enjoy it.

Richard O’Sullivan is here too!
Oh, William Roache makes an appearance in this look at BRASS
I'm sure the programmers think Judi Dench=ratings when they look at the premise, but the show has a lot more going for it than just star power.
The only problem I have with my local affiliate is that they run the episodes out of order, so I never know what sort of B plot they'll be playing. I lose track of whether Alistair will be pursuing Judy or Sandy, or if they got past it and just made him annoyingly flirtatious with all three ladies.
No one who watches it with me can imagine Alistair would actually date women anyway.
I love how they use recurring habits/quirks/foibles to make the viewer feel drawn into their lives--like a "family joke" we're allowed to be part of. In an American sitcom, Lionel's affection for custard tarts would not last more than a single episode, yet we see it over and over in this show until it's like an old friend.
ey go even further into meta territory (thanks mainly to his book), but it doesn't feel as exploitative as the overly-obvious way American TV shows satirize show business.
The series seems to enjoy poking gentle fun at things without being insulting or mean-spirited.
By coincidence, I came across this footage that answers many questions about what Dame Judi is like off the set.
Always when i see this thread i read "The great british shitstorm".
