Other appearances over the years include several parts in "Z Cars", "Softly, Softly" and "Barlow At Large", "Flambards"; "Poldark"; the "War and Peace" dramatisation in 1972; "Dad's Army" (where he was set to become a major recurring character, however this was later dropped); "Birds of a Feather"; "The Bill"; "Taggart"; "Bergerac"; "Yes Minister"; "The Tripods"; "Juliet Bravo"; "Minder"; "All Creatures Great and Small"; "Dixon of Dock Green"; "Are You Being Served?"; "Catweazle"; "Up Pompeii!"; "The Avengers"; and "The Piglet Files".
