Very sad to report the passing of Syd Lotterby. A name that may not be immediately recogniseable to some but he was a prolific Director & producer in the UK with an abundance of class titles on his resume, such as Last Of The Summer Wine, Yes Minister, Yes Prime Minister, Ever Decreasing Circles, Open All Hours etc. To me though, his name is synonymous with Porridge.
Syd was 93 years old.
RIP, and thank you for the quality work you made throughout your career Syd.
GH.

Sad news, but a very good age at 93 and he’s left a great body of work.
RIP Sydney Lotterby

Yes I recognized Sydney's name from a book on bbc TV shows I read a few years back.
He worked on some great shows there. A record to be proud of.
RIP Sydney.
