He was educated at St Paul's School, which he followed with actor's training.
In the early 1960s, he had a long running screen role as Alan Drew in BBC's Compact.[1] He later had an even longer running part in the radio soap, Waggoner's Walk, which ran for over ten years reaching four million listeners on Radio Two in the UK.[2] This grew so popular that it nearly caused the end of The Archers.[3]
As he grew older, he did less acting in order to concentrate on other interests, though he has continued to appear in humorous roles.[4] and most recently in The Gigolos.[5]
He is the founding managing director of Colets Health Club, in Thames Ditton, Surrey which hosts many of the Old Pauline Club's sporting clubs.
He has been involved in leading the Pauline Meetings, the St Paul's School Christian Union, for over five decades.
He has wide-ranging interest in music. An opera reviewer, he is a Wagner fanatic, who did a famous interview with Leopold Stokowski. He also leads a Chicago jazz band.
He believes in time management, the power of music and that we cannot all be inspired, but that we can all be efficient.
