Chronology[edit]

The entry says he started his career with Alfresco, but (a) I've never heard of that; it ran for just two years in '83-84; (b) his first Comic Strip Presents was in 1982, and they are MUCH better known (and kept going far longer, and got repeated). It's misleading to say he 'gained national prominence' with Cracker; he was a well-known comic actor by then, playing against type - Nuns on the Run was several years earlier, and he'd appeared in many of the UK's most popular comedy series by that point.

Also appeared in TV Party with Chris Stein. See Parkinson One To One - Robbie Coltrane. --Broichmore (talk) 17:28, 19 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
