14 Jan 1969 - THE POWER GAME-SPECIAL ENVOY: 'The Big Nothing' by Sir #RoyClarke - #MichaelJayston and #PatrickWymark gamble on developing a barren stretch of land in South America wymark.org.uk/power943.html

I think I'm right in saying Sir #RoyClarke is the first and only POWER GAME writer to be knighted. He may have only written one episode (THE BIG NOTHING 14 Jan 1969) but he still wrote it.

New Year Honours 2026: Idris Elba knighted as Sarina Wiegman and Lionesses recognised Ice skaters Torvill and Dean, and members of the winning Lionesses and Red Roses receive gongs.

Roy Clarke wrote some absolutely fabulous sitcoms. Especially "Last of The Summer Wine".
Well deserved, Sir.
