I was surprised at scouse's reaction. He knew Derek Johnson, they played football together and went to the same school. He wasn't a fan at all, quite the opposite. But he was a bit upset when I told him, I guess that happens when your peers start to pop their clogs.

I'm desperately sad to hear this. I loved "Mr Derek" on BB, and he was just fabulous in the "Yes Minister" etc. series.
