Name The Actor

[pipdawg]

This Birmingham-born actor was certainly well connected. He was the cousin of a British Prime Minister and was married to the great granddaughter of Charles Dickens. He was often seen on TV playing his part in fighting crime. What was the actor's first name ?

PETER Forster

Hi Baldric. I'm finding that Peter Forster's wife, Jennifer Downing, was granddaughter, not great granddaughter, to Charles Dickens. Also Peter Forster was born in London, not Birmingham. Thanks anyway
