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".
