He is most famous for his leading role in Randall and Hopkirk (Deceased) (1969-1970) as the late private eye Marty Hopkirk opposite Mike Pratt's very much alive Jeff Randall. However he had also starred in Coronation Street as the shady Jed Stone (between 1961 and 1966), and had a regular role in the influential satirical series That Was The Week That Was (1962-1963).
He went on to star in two Carry On films: At Your Convenience (1971) and Matron (1972). He later appeared in the Doctor Who story (Warriors' Gate in 1981), and guest starred in four episodes of Casualty.
From 1999 to 2002 he starred as Ray Hilton in the Channel Four soap opera Brookside.
He married actress Renny Lister in 1961 and they have three children. They met when Renny worked on Coronation Street.
He was offered a cameo role in the Vic Reeves-Bob Mortimer revival of Randall and Hopkirk, but turned it down. He did, however, provide the foreword to a Randall and Hopkirk retrospective book (by Geoff Tibballs), published in 1994.
