Creator / Gordon Peters

Gordon Peters, born Gordon Peter Wilkinson, (29 November 1926 — 15 June 2022), was a British actor best known for playing guest roles in Britcoms.

His first acting job came in 1951; Peters had been working in Zimbabwe as a bank clerk and upon his return to the UK, he saw an advert in The Stage for a summer season at Blackpool's Opera House. In 1973, he starred in his very own Sitcom, The Gordon Peters Show, while by The '90s, he made three appearances in One Foot in the Grave as the incredibly boring Ronnie.

Aside from these roles, most of Peters' resume during this period was filled with guest roles in comedy series including Are You Being Served?, Dad's Army, Grace & Favour, Hi-de-Hi!, Just Good Friends, Keeping Up Appearances, Last of the Summer Wine, To the Manor Born, and You Rang, M'Lord?.

After providing voices for Mr. Men and Little Miss, Peters' career slowly petered out, and by the mid-2000s had stopped acting, barring a small role in a 2011 episode of Mongrels.

He died at the age of 95.
