Some cooking show - he was cooking beef and Newcastle Brown! The show's called "The Reluctant Cook".
I also saw him in a play about some prisoners on BBC2, but I know not of the name.
Craig Charles did 'What's That Noise' a children's music program for a while. He also introduced a series of Sci-Fi films on BBC2.
Host of the show Cyberzone. Craig Goes Mad In Melbourne.
Them And Us.
Prince Cinders.
English Express (UK children's English educational program).
He was a regular on Wogan's late night show. Things he did before Red Dwarf: mostly poetry readings and current affairs for black people.
Just watched our Craig do a poem on the James Whale Show (11/11/95). It was called Brewer's Droop, and was pretty good. Tonight seems to be Craig Charles Night - I also saw him on Big Night In earlier.
Craig managed to get himself on TV three times in the space of about two hours last night. In order of appearance: Don't Give Up Your Day Job Big Night In and James Whale Show.
An episode of The Bill
I also saw him in a play, a different one, I think, with two other blokes. It seemed to be some kind of re-hash of Jesus' Last Supper - *perhaps*... It was in costume, but had a kind of contemporary feel to it.
Craig Charles in Linda La Plante's The Governor, in which he plays a psychopath.
CRAIG CHARLES is in "Help!" Also in this show is JAKE ABRAHAM, the Alternative Lister from The Inquisitor.
