He used to be in a sitcom in the early/mid 80's, he had a son, Jamie I think (although I could be getting confused with the son in May to December), who incidentally was in Corrie last night.

What was the sitcome called? I've googled but can't find it.

Wasn't the son played by the actor who's doing the Privilege adverts? Nigel Havers? Posh chap? And weren't they both doctors? It's ringing a faint bell with me ...

He was in a few - Robin's Nest was one of them.

I think his name is spelt Britton - try googling with that spelling.

Ah, I'm getting all the 80's sitcoms confused. Reece Dinsdale, that's it.

Don't wait up, that's what I was thinking of. I don't remember John Thaw being in any of them though.

I think Reece Dinsdale is ageing quite well ?

Thanks.
