Part of the Heartbeat flock
AS an actor, I starred in Heartbeat twice. It was my favourite show to work on – we were out filming in the very beautiful countryside of Goathland in North Yorkshire.
I appeared as a vet searching for a poisoner of crows and as a sheep rustler, in 2000 and 2002. At the audition for the vet, the casting director said I didn’t look like a vet.
My friend, another casting director, Malcolm Drury, had great pleasure in saying: “He IS a vet, you f***ing idiot.”
