Malcolm McFee (born Malcolm Raymond McFee on 16 August 1949 in Forest Gate in London – died 18 November 2001 in Braintree in Essex) was an English actor best known for his role as Peter Craven in the TV series ''Please Sir!'', the film of the same name, and the spin-off TV series ''The Fenn Street Gang''. ==Career== Malcolm McFee made his first appearance on television in 1967. In 1968 he began a three-season stint in the London Weekend Television situation comedy series ''Please Sir!'' playing the part of smooth wide-boy〔(【引用サイトリンク】 work = Television Heaven )〕 Peter Craven. He continued the role into the 1971 feature film comedy version, also called ''Please Sir!''. McFee had made his film debut in the 1969 satirical anti-war musical ''Oh! What a Lovely War''.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title=Full cast and crew for Oh! What a Lovely War )〕 The ''Please Sir!'' TV series spawned a comedy sequel called ''The Fenn Street Gang'' which ran from 1971 to 1973. McFee was unavailable for season one as he was appearing in the West End play “Forget-Me-Not-Lane”〔Daily Mirror, 7 August 1971〕 and the part of Craven was played for that season by Leon Vitali. McFee returned for seasons two and three. He appeared on television many times in the 1970s but was only rarely seen after this until 1993. After turning to the stage McFee made a career as an actor and director, working as a theatre director in small theatres in Greater London and the provinces. His last TV role was in an episode of the long-running Thames Television police drama series ''The Bill''〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title=Malcolm McFee Biography )〕 in 1997. Apart from ''Please Sir!'' and ''The Fenn Street Gang'', Malcolm McFee appeared in the following television programmes:〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title=Filmography by type for Malcolm McFee )〕 McFee also appeared as a guest on ''This is Your Life'' for John Alderton in 1974, and presented three episodes of BBC pre-school programme ''You and Me'' in 1978.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title=You and Me )〕 He was the reporter and clown in the 1980s BBC schools science programme Science Workshop.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title=Programmes for Schools and Colleges, Module 3 )〕 Popular opinion says that McFee is the subject of Morrisey's song ''"Little Man, What Now?"'' from his 1988 album ''"Viva Hate"'', although previous opinions have suggested Jack Wild or Roger Tonge as the subject. The song mentions an ATV series axed after four years, and Morrissey watching it on a Friday night (season 1 of Please Sir! was indeed broadcast on Friday nights although subsequent seasons went out on Saturday or Sunday nights), and tells of the fall of a TV star of the 1960s to an unknown of the 1970s.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title=Little Man, What Now?
