Where’s @michaelwardle42 when you need him!? #shutthatgate
My 4th and final Heartbeat appearance is repeated again at 7pm this evening. Performing opposite the brilliant Keith Barron, who was a lovely man to work with. I appeared in series 4, 11, 14 and 18, all different characters. Great jobs to do, and not too far from home #Heartbeat

I was coaxed out of retirement to record this! A great poem. Please listen if you're able. I've also recorded an interview about my career for the same podcast, to be posted soon I believe.

Lovely to see Michael ‘Farmer Parkin’ Wardle @michaelwardle42 has made it to @BirminghamRep to see his role recreated on stage. And yes, before you ask, he is the farmer!

On Thursday I went to the Birmingham Rep to see the stage play of Withnail & I. Boy, what a fabulous production. Afterwards I met the cast, inc Matt Devitt, who played the farmer. They were all very kind & welcoming & we chatted about the film & compared notes! Such a great day

Withnail fans, take a look at this terrific book by @Toby_J_Benjamin I was delighted to receive a copy recently. It's full of interviews from those involved in the film, including yours truly, plus others who have enjoyed watching it. Well done to Toby on a great read #withnail
A few photos from some days out I've had this month. The Gaia art installation at Beverley Minster and a visit to Eden Camp near Malton. #Yorkshire #Daytripping
I see an episode of Heartbeat I was in (from 2002) is on itv3 at 6.55pm this evening. S11, E23 'Caught in the Headlights'. I appeared in 4 eps of Heartbeat over the years, all different characters. Pics here are from the episode tonight. Repeated tomorrow at 12.40pm
Me in Waiting For Godot at Harrogate Theatre in 1978. Myself, Harry Beatie & Alec Linstead were the main cast. Directed by Mark Piper. I played Estragon. It was a very long time ago, but I remember we played to full houses & it was very well received. #actorslife #jobbingactor
An independent film I had a lead role in. I was very flattered that the character I played was written especially for me. We toured it as a stage play in 2012 & 2014 before it was filmed in 2017. It was great fun.

My first pro job, A Bequest to the Nation at the Haymarket Theatre, London. 12 mth run from Sept 1968. Alec Guinness recommended me for the role & I'll always be grateful as it was the start of my 50+ yr career. Cast inc Ian Holm, Brian Glover, Deborah Watling & Michael Aldridge
A selection of photos from my 50+year career, which I take with me when I give my talks. From 'Waiting For Godot' to 'Coronation Street' - there's a lot of wonderful memories there #jobbingactor #actorslife
A blast from the past. Me as Gordon, Lynn's boyfriend, in Alan Partridge. Great job.
