Personal Quote:
[in 2001] A programme like that would never get made today without having a household name, but back then I fought to have John Nettles play Bergerac (1981) because he was right for it. The programme went on to have 15 million viewers. See more »Trivia:
The February 2016 BAFTA ceremony neglected to mention Banks Stewart among the people from film and television who had died over the previous year.Star Sign:
