This is 39 Sheep which was cut into segments for Peter Dickson’s Nightcap starring John Quayle. I’m playing Paraquat Khan and sundry others! I appreciate some of these stereotypes are un typical nowadays, but I’ve attempted to make the characterisations as authentic as possible considering when they were made in the 90s.
I’ve done lots of comedy episodes on BBC Radio 4 (extracts below) including ‘The Likely Dads‘ and some drama playing Christmas Humphries the barrister in “The Trial of Timothy Evans” Also three eps of “Charles Parris” . I was in two series of Hal Cruttenden’s comedy show ‘Hal‘, the last ep of ‘Cabin Pressure’, 4 series of ‘The Castle’ in which I play Duncan and Thomas, 3 series of ‘Chambers’ with James Fleet and Sarah Lancashire (above) and John Bird, (later 12 eps on BBC TV) 3 series of ‘Dial M for Pizza’ with Robert Bathurst, Mike Grady, and Brenda Blethyn (pic on left) , one series of ‘Taking it Up the Octave’, 2 series of ‘Nightcap’ with Brian Bowles, Sarah Thomas and Phil Cornwell, and 3 series of ‘The Attractive Young Rabbi’ with Henry Goodman.
Also selected roles in ‘People Like Us’, ‘Perseus Pym Investigates’, ‘Best of British’, ‘Tintin’ a whole series of ‘The Story so Far’ by Paul B Davies, ‘The Fosdyke Saga‘, produced by Alan Nixon’ and 12 episodes of my own segment written by me called ‘Robin Gunn’ in the children’s series ‘Catswhiskers‘. There are others…but I’ll need to access some part of my diminishing brain cells or archived CVs to find em! As I said, I did the last ep of the brilliant Cabin Pressure. Here’s a pic of the stars of the show, Stephanie Cole, Benedict Cumberbatch, Roger Allam and John Finniemore with producer David Tyler with whom I have worked a lot in the background
