Though I probably associate him most with Sapphire and Steel as opposed to the roles mentioned.

His political views were alarmingly right-wing - he was a devout Thatcherite and Trumpista who left the UK because he thought it was too socialist, and in an interview I've just read from a few years ago he sounded positively Randian.
I came to realise that every time we recognise something human in creatures, we are also recognising something creaturely in ourselves. That is central to the rejection of human supremacism as the pernicious doctrine it is.
