I actually really liked his turn as Campion and wish he’d been able to continue on the role but unfortunately the series came and went. Also really liked him as David Braithwaite in the criminally forgotten At Home with the Braithwaites. Made for a nice change of place playing the quite a weedy, slightly slimy character from the usual nice chaps he’d played up until that point.
Much to my embarrassment, I must confess I have never actually seen All Creatures Great and Small so I can’t possibly comment.

Hello again
Peter Davison’s greatest role? It has to be Elmer from The Tomorrow People story A Man for Emily…
I’d better jaunt away before…
the tomatoes start raining down… Splatt!

I haven't seen most of these - only All Creatures a long time ago when my grandmother would watch it (and I did like Tristan!) But I'm going to say Other - Toast of London.  |

I have to vote for Tristan. I'm marathoning the 7-s/80s All Creatures just now and he is really rather magnificent as the feckless Tristan. His Campion was terrific though, as was the entire ensemble in A Very Peculiar Practice, a show which contains Graham Crowden delivering with some relish one of my favourite lines from anything ever - "No, Mr Prettyman, you're going to die!" Maybe you had to be there - in situ it's magnificent.
I'd also put a vote in for his guest turn in the BBC's Miss Marple... his performance at the denoument and unveiling of the murderer is really very good.

Here's one - Peter playing "Peter Davison" in The Five(ish) Doctors.
Anyone with more than a bit of con experience may have seen Peter when he's not particularly in the mood. That scene where he barely looks at the person, just says "Name?", signs and tosses it back....yeah - he can be a bit like that if caught on a bad day. So he very much channeled his grumpiest self into that piece and yet made it, conversely, a love letter FOR the fans he may often have had little time for. Last time I met him was backstage at the Doctor Who Symphonic Spectacular when I got fixed up with some VIPs and he was in a great mood. It was great to see him on form, and he was a FANTASTIC MC for the BBC Wales Orchestra playing those classics from New Who. He spent the night mocking Colin Baker and Rangers!
I was more excited, personally, to meet Murray Gold and thank him for some of my favourite music, not just in Who but overall. He was lovely, very humble and quiet. Then meeting Ben Foster, the conductor, because 1. He looks like a film star and 2. I'd seen him conducting when Peter Gabriel toured with an orchestra and I got to ask him about that - he was happy to get some non-Who questions I think!
