He often plays police officers

In 2009, he revealed that he still received letters from fans of Juliet Bravo (1980), 24 years after it had finished.

He has three children.

Before working as a professional actor, he worked as a primary school teacher and then during a summer, as grave digger. He then decided to attend the Rose Bruford College of Speech and Drama in Kent.

He was considered for the roles of Roger Derebridge, Lamson and Kelly in Fuerza siniestra (1985).

His son, Benjamin Peel, is a graduate of Guildford School of Acting and works as a writer.

Doctor Who (1963) chases me all around the world. I was in Sydney performing in "An Inspector Calls" and a little boy came to see me with his mum after the show. I asked him if he'd enjoyed the play, but he just wanted me to sign his videos of Doctor Who (1963).

Juliet Bravo (1980) still pops up on TV now. I haven't seen it for a long time but I've got copies at home somewhere.

I've been lucky enough to always do lots of television and lots of theatre.

It's interesting to work on a soap but they do pack it in. You're chasing your tail all the time. There's so much to do and there's so little time to do it in. I take my hat off to people who do it all the time, but I'd miss the theatre too much. My first love is the theatre.
