Final Curtain
When Patrick Fyffe died in 2002, George Logan decided that without a Hilda there would be no more Dr. Evadne Hinge. In a television interview he spoke of working himself, but made it clear that he did not miss the Hinge persona. Feeling that the appeal of Hinge and Bracket lay more in the interaction between the two characters than with either of the separate personalities, Logan determined that the body of work he and Patrick Fyffe had created together should stand as a finished item. In a 2007 interview in which he paid tribute to his stage partner, Logan praised Fyffe's comedic genius and observed: " fabulously talented, a brilliant clown and a natural comedian. Since Patrick is no longer with us, can never happen again. When you've worked with the best, there'd be no point in doing second-best afterwards, so I'd rather leave it as it is".

Famous quotes containing the words final and/or curtain:
“So that the old joy, modest as cake, as wine and friendship
Will stay with us at the last, backed by the night
Whose ruse gave it our final meaning.”
—John Ashbery (b. 1927)
“We are born at the rise of the curtain and we die with its fall, and every night in the presence of our patrons we write our new creation, and every night it is blotted out forever; and of what use is it to say to audience or to critic, “Ah, but you should have seen me last Tuesday”?”
—Michéal MacLiammóir (1899–1978)
