  Space Commander Travis in Blake’s 7, 1979

Although he’s not a great science fiction fan, Brian Croucher has starred in three highly regarded genre television programmes … The Jensen Code, Doctor Who and, of course, Blake’s 7.

He also, famously, appeared as Ted Hills in Eastenders for two years!

Brought up in East London, Brian has had a hugely successful career as an actor on stage and on screen. He’s also directed in the theatre.

In this Myth Makers, Brian chats to Ian Kuniak about his career and why he always seems to play tough guys … a lot in life he seems to accept gracefully.

But mostly he talks about Space Commander Travis in Blake’s 7 … the role he’s probably best remembered for!
