9. The only actor to appear in the top 3 British TV programmes of all time, as voted by professionals

In 2000 the British Film Institute polled industry professionals to compile a list of what they felt were the greatest British TV programmes ever screened.

Palmer was the only actor to have appeared in all of the top three - Fawlty Towers, Cathy Come Home and Doctor Who.

That shows his breadth - Cathy Come Home was deadly serious and politically influential.

In Fawlty Towers:
