2019 – 2023

Coronavirus did appalling damage to my aging career. First though, in 2019 I joined a campaign as Brand Ambassador for YOUMOVE when I ceased to work on Channel 4’s coverage of Crufts Dog Show in 2020. The following year’s contract was not signed when the Covid lockdowns began, and general activities were restricted. I also was unable to attend any of the events which had been continuing for years previously.

A few Dr Who events re-appeared in 2022, but mostly it was an unemployed time. However, I have recently been very busy playing a leading role in a new pilot of a comedy drama series called “Henry House”. More details can be found on the Current Activities page of this website, where there will be regular updates..
