Farce: no, I'm wrong

I thought he first came to public notice by appearing (in a leading role) on the stage in a number of "Whitehall Farces" - named for the Whitehall Theatre, not the UK political establishment! That would have been in the late 1950s/early 60s?? But there's no mention here....

Picture

Just added a not-very-good shot I took of Briers at a Who convention a couple of years ago. I'd welcome someone else replacing this with a better-quality and suitably free image, but at least it's a start! Gusworld (talk) 00:18, 3 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah, its nice to have a photo on the article at last! I've changed the caption, as I feel that any non-Doctor Who fans might wonder what an "Invasion conference" is.--UpDown (talk) 08:20, 3 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
