In the early 1990s he was to become the face of Virgin Publishing's proposed new Doctor who would have appeared in the [[New Adventures]] line of books following the [[regeneration]] of the [[Seventh Doctor]]. The idea went as far as a photoshoot before the [[BBC (real world)|BBC]] vetoed the idea.

Decades later, he joined the [[BBC Wales]] team in ''[[Midnight (TV story)|Midnight]]'' as Professor [[Winfold Hobbes]], an episode directed by [[Alice Troughton]], to whom he is unrelated.
