He appeared as a foil for Irish comedian Dave Allen in his series Dave Allen at Large in 1971, but gained greater UK public recognition as one of the presenters on the TV series That's Life! and later presented and appeared in In at the Deep End, a series in which he and former That's Life! presenter Paul Heiney were pitched into professional situations with no prior knowledge.
