Welcome to my website. I hope you enjoy reading it, and that you find what you are looking for.

The latest Big Finish Release Daughter of the Gods, in which I play Steven and the First Doctor, and Frazer Hines plays Jamie and the Second Doctor, has been greeted with much praise. It was a joy to perform, and I hope that you enjoy it. There is a full page on this site devoted to my time on Dr Who.

My most recent venture in the Theatre has been to appear in  “Once Seen on Blue Peter” – a play by Tim Whitnall, at the Edinburgh Fringe 2018 where it received 5 star reviews.  

I visited The BBC at Media City in Salford Quays  recently and was flattered and thrilled to discover I was included in the Blue Peter Gold Badge Walk of Fame outside the studios, and leading to the BP garden.

I was privileged to visit the University of Central Lancashire, UCLAN, in March where the students and staff had produced a recreation of one of the missing Doctor Who episodes, “Mission to the Unknown” which was the “teaser” for the massive 12 Part serial “The Dalek Masterplan” in which I appeared with William Hartnell, the first (and to my mind) the best ever Doctor. It was a splendid piece of work by UCLAN, directed by a senior tutor and Doctor Who fan, Andrew Ireland. The BBC eventually released the finished production on You Tube, to great acclaim by fans.

I have taken note of the following from Pip Madeley on Twitter. I am unable to edit the early part of my CV from an earlier website so I acknowledge the omission here. Thanks Pip. x

Your CV is incredible, Peter! 😲 I did spot one omission, your memorable appearance in ‘Phoenix From The Flames’ on “Fantasy World Cup” (ITV 1998) with Baddiel & Skinner, see here: (skip to 21mins 30secs in) 😁
