Furthermore, his versatility as an actor has allowed him to take on a wide range of roles, from his portrayal of a ruthless Sontaran Commander in the Doctor Who serial "The Invasion of Time", to his role as Robert in the cult classic film "Time Bandits". With a career spanning over four decades, Derek Deadman has undoubtedly left an indelible mark on the world of British entertainment.
