Trivia

  • In 1993 he was a passenger in a car which was involved in a crash in the Dordogne in France. He sustained a punctured lung, a cracked sternum, a broken shoulder blade and a fractured arm, and head and neck injuries. The head injuries resulted in serious long term memory problems, meaning he could not memorize scripts, drastically affecting his acting career, particularly theatre work, which he was no longer able to do. Television work was also reduced to one-off guest appearances. This led to him exploring a career in writing, which he found "much more satisfying than acting".
  • Second husband of Millicent Martin.
  • Toured with the Bristol Old Vic in Hamlet, 1966-67.
  • Often seen in shady or villainous roles.
  • Best known on TV as the snobbish, starchy and ultra conservative estate agent Jeffrey Fourmile, perennial foil in the classic sitcom George and Mildred.
