After leaving school he spent 9 years working at Oldham Repertory Theatre
in Lancashire becoming the manager and married Gillian who was his
assistant stage manager. They live at Weybridge, Surrey where they spend their
leisure time on the river bank fishing for Perch and Chub and now and then go
sea fishing for Cod and sea Trout yet he rarely eats what he catches. His record
catch was a 20 pound pike on the Thames which Gillian cooked but he found it
revolting and said it was just like old rope. He said that fly-fishing and spinning
where you're on your feet all the time casting is much more interesting than
just sitting waiting for a fish to bite. His rule is that as soon as he finishes a film
or a series he takes a fishing break.
