Sir Antony Jay, 1930–2016

Sir Antony Jay, co-creator of Yes, Minister and Yes, Prime Minister, died after a long illness on Sunday, August 21, 2016, at age 86.

The Grauniad obituary and Jonathan Lynn's tribute post on Facebook are both well worth reading.

(In whatever afterlife there may or may not be, I do hope that Paul Eddington and Nigel Hawthorne have offered to buy the first round of drinks.)
