He followed this with a solid history of repertory all over the UK, spending two years at the prestigious and pioneering Vic Theatre in the Round at Stoke on Trent, and has played major roles in the West End for the RSC. He has taken many parts in TV including such firm favourites as Minder, The Professionals, The Bill and Emmerdale, and has many credits in the world of TV Ads.- voiceover and appearance. He has worked for BBC Radio Drama in several productions and some of his titles have been heard on ‘Oneword’ Radio - the only radio station devoted to ‘talking books’.

Nowadays, Peter has two companies, ‘Assembled Stories’ and ‘ Past Present Science’ for which he travels the world performing his one man shows about Galileo and Sir Isaac Newton. He has recently returned from a tour of Malaysia for the British Council and other places visited include Eire, Belgium, Italy, France, Holland and the USA.

He left in 2001 to concentrate on his two companies and now lives in Grantham 200 metres from the school of his hero - yes, you guessed it - Sir Isaac Newton.
