Bill Dare
We are shocked and greatly saddened to have to announce the death of our brilliant client Bill Dare, who died on 2nd March following an accident overseas. Our thoughts are with his wife Lucy, daughter Rebecca, and with all of Bill’s family and friends who will be devastated by his loss. Bill was a truly legendary producer and writer, and his comedy instincts were second to none. He made ‘Dead Ringers’ into a national institution for the BBC, due to mark its 25th anniversary this year. But Bill’s creativity was unbounded – sketch shows, sitcoms, entertainment formats, novels, stage shows – he created them all and brought great pleasure to an untold number of viewers and listeners. He was also a great champion of talent, both writing and performing, and he will be remembered for working with the best of his generation at the same time as creating opportunities for the next. We will greatly miss his intelligence and humour.
Bill’s Work
If you would like to listen to some of Bill’s work, he was the producer of The Island – currently airing Mondays, 2.45pm, BBC Radio 4 – with the whole series available now on BBC Sounds.
And Bill was the creator, writer and producer of Les Kelly’s Britain (2011), which is being repeated on Radio 4 Extra starting Friday 7th March, 10pm.
