He made numerous television appearances in programmes such as The Buccaneers, Danger Man, The Avengers (appearing as a sinister eastern delegate in the episode "Death's Door" in 1967),[5] The Saint, The Champions, Department S, and Randall and Hopkirk. One of his television roles was as Pandit Baba, a scholar agitating for an end to British rule in India, in the Granada series The Jewel in the Crown (1984).[6]
