Clive is known to millions as consultant Mike Barratt in Casualty and Holby City – appearing in over 100 episodes of the popular hospital TV shows from 1988 until 2001, returning for the 30th anniversary episodes in 2016. He also became a firm favourite as the object of Dawn French’s affections as Simon Horton in The Vicar of Dibley.

He has toured extensively in theatrical productions; as the title role in Jus’ Like That: An Evening with Tommy Cooper, as well as The Narrator in The Rocky Horror Picture Show and as Lennie in 6 different productions of the Steinbeck classic, Of Mice and Men, for which he received an Olivier Award nomination.

This Christmas, he will be playing the role of Evil Abanazaar, the man determined to spoil all our hero’s plans and we are certain he is the right man for the job!
