The show’s success was due to the excellent writing by Jonathan Lynn and Sir Antony Jay. But it was the Yes Minister Cast who brought these wonderful and sometimes conniving characters to life.

Sadly, many of the main Yes Minister cast members have since left us. Today, we’ll look back on their incredible lives and careers.

Richard Vernon played Sir Desmond in the show. Sir Desmond was a banker, who had surprisingly, very little knowledge of banking or the finance industry. Richard Vernon played this posh but foolish chap with impeccability. He soon became one of the most popular characters among the Yes Minister Cast. We sadly lost him in 1997 at the age of 72.

Edward Jewesbury played Vic Gould – better known as the Chief Whip in 2 episodes of Yes Minister. He was a great contrast to the rest of the Yes Minister Cast. He brought a bit of seriousness to the show and this was perfect for sometimes showing the darkness of the world of politics.

Arthur Cox was one of Britain’s most well-known character actors. He played the role of Jim Hacker’s chauffeur George. While a smaller member of the Yes Minister cast he nevertheless provided an insight into how the chauffeur seems to know it all.

But of course, the heroes of Yes Minister were Derek Fowlds who played Bernard Woolley, Sir Nigel Hawthorne who played Sir Humphrey Appleby, and of course, Paul Eddington who played the Minister of Administrative Affairs, Jim Hacker. What would the Yes Minister cast be without them?
