  Lyndhurst, Nicholas
Nicholas Lyndhurst emerged as a prominent star among a new generation of British situation comedy performers in the early 1980s, though he had in fact by then already amassed a considerable number of years' television experience, having started out as a child actor.
Lyndhurst made the transition from child performer to adult star in gradual stages, beginning as an actor in a string of children's dramas and adventures like The Tomorrow People, Heidi and The Prince and the Pauper (in which he played the dual leading role).
Subsequent situation comedies that were constructed around Lyndhurst further developed the theme of not dissimilar Rodney-style characters, bemused and indignant though not necessarily quite as dimwitted as Rodney, trying to cope with the demands of wives or girlfriends.

Nicholas Lyndhurst is one of British comedy's most recognised faces.

 Nicholas Lyndhurst - Times Online
Lyndhurst plays Norman, the devoted, embittered assistant to Sir (a histrionic Julian Glover), as spiky and indispensable as the “brooch” of safety pins he wears at all times.
Postperformance adrenaline is making the famously shy Lyndhurst unusually chatty — or perhaps it is the warm reception of an audience that came to see a telly treasure and got something more: a performance that exorcises the ghost of Tom Courtenay, who created the role and seemed to own it.
Lyndhurst comes from a television tradition that has little patience with actorly vanity: lines are learnt fast, time is money, and technical dis-cipline respected.

 Amazon.co.uk: After You've Gone: Complete BBC Series 1 [2007]: Nicholas Lyndhurst, Celia Imrie, Dani Harmer, After ...
Nicholas Lyndhurst, Celia Imrie and Dani Harmer head up the impressive cast for the BBC sitcom After You've Gone which is written and created by Fred Barron, the creator of My Family.
The first series of this 2007 sitcom by the writing team behind My Family casts Nicholas Lyndhurst as divorced dad Jimmy Venebles, a recovering alchohlic and decorater who moves back in with his two teenage kids after their nurse Mum goes to South Africa to help with a flood.
So after a West-End revival of The Dresser, Lyndhurst returns to sitcom and, although it is undeniably good to see such a skilled comic actor at work again, After You've Gone isn't exactly filled with belly laughs, which is just to be expected when it came from the pen of My Family creator Fred Barron.
