- In addition to his three appearances in Doctor Who, he was on the shortlist for Toby (played by Windsor Davies) in The Evil of the Daleks: Episode 2 (1967) and the main guest role of Professor Marcus Scarman (played by Bernard Archard) in Pyramids of Mars: Part One (1975).
- He played the same character (Potter) in Secret Agent (1964) and The Prisoner (1967), both of which starred Patrick McGoohan. This lends credence to the belief that McGoohan's Danger Man (1960) and Secret Agent (1964) character, John Drake, is the same person as Number Six, the character he later portrayed in The Prisoner (1967) although McGoohan, who was also the co-creator, producer and frequent writer of the later series, claims that this was never his intention.
