The actress that played "Bob" was Felicity K Braithwaite, unfortunately I
do not know of any other productions or sitcoms that she has appeared in.
I have heard a rumour that she does have a fan club but do not know of a
contact for it.

Rubbish.
"Bob", or driver "Bob" Parkhurst in BA Goes Forth, was played by Gabrielle
Glaister in all his/her appearances.

Not one of Stephen Fry's characters was gay (I presume you mean "gay" when
you use the offensive term "queer"?)
You may perhaps be thinking of BAIV when he kept talking to his assistant,
Capt. Kevin Darling, as "Darling", which was merely a play on words.
As for the rest, I can think of little butcher and straighter than his
hilarious appearance as the Duke of Wellington, at which point no-one and
nothing was safe from being kicked around, punched, shouted at and
generally abused (in good time-honoured heterosexual tradition <g>).

Whether or not the original poster meant "queer" in a derogatory
manner, I must point out that many many gay people do not find the
term "queer" offensive. In fact, some use that term to describe
themselves and their lifestyle INSTEAD of the more "acceptable" term
"gay."
Just a niggly little point, but worth mentioning.
Thanks,

It is indeed a moot point, and personally, I have no objection to it, when
used by me or my friends or others in the gay community. When it is used by
evidently heterosexual people, however, I take exception, since my
experience is that they do not as a whole appreciate the subtle political
message involved in its use -for them, its a short-hand put down, and is
usually meant offensively.

It's not really that strange. White people enslaved blacks, and coined the
term nigger. Their use of the term was thus associated with degredation,
cruelty etc etc (as it was supposed to be -whites didn't call blacks
'nigger' by way of endearment, but as a way of de-humanising them -which is
exactly what "queer" "poof" and so on were designed to do to gays, too).
If blacks now choose to use the word for themselves, they are (I imagine)
attempting to turn humilation into some form of positive feeling.
Getting back to the subject at hand (sort of ;-)): Black Adder is an
excellent demonstration of the fact that language is infinitely flexible,
and carries many sub-meanings, inflexions and so on. Words MEAN things
-it's incumbent upon us all to appreciate those meanings (and respect
them).
