Answer:
Woolley
"Yes, Minister" and the sequel "Yes, Prime Minister" are right up there with "Fawlty Towers", "Blackadder" and "Only Fools and Horses" contending for the title as Britain's best ever TV sitcom. Combined, the two ran for a total of six series between 1980 and 1988, with 45 episodes in all.
The three major characters are The Right Honorable Lord Hacker of Islington, KG, PC, BSc, played by Paul Eddington, Sir Humphrey Appleby, GCB, KBE, MVO, MA (Oxon) (played by Nigel Hawthorne), and Hacker's Principal Private Secretary Sir Bernard Woolley, GCB, MA (Oxon) played by Fowlds.
