When creating the character of bumbling do-gooder Martin Bryce, they only had one actor in mind - Richard Briers - because they felt he was the only person who could bring some kind of charm to this appalling character. Interviewees include Briers and other stars Peter Egan, Penelope Wilton and Stanley Lebor.
