Just A Minute

He did also produce a comedy series for Radio 4 called "Clement Doesn't Live Here Anymore" starring Steve Furst, about a lecherous ghost living in someone's attic... I appeared in one episode playing a drunken GP. Chris was lovely to work with, creating a happy company atmosphere, and as a stand-up comedian did a great audience warm-up before the show!!

I forget which role he played, but he was awfully good in it. The cast also includes another Just a Minute alum, Arthur Smith as the Duke of Clarence I believe. I would definitely recommend this story to Dr. Who fans, and to Just a Minute fans.
