Trevor Peacock
Trevor Edward Peacock (19 May 1931 – 8 March 2021) was an English actor and songwriter. He made his name as a theatre actor, including for his roles in Shakespeare. He later became known for playing Jim Trott in the BBC comedy series The Vicar of Dibley.
His song "Mrs Brown, You've Got a Lovely Daughter" was a US number one hit for Herman's Hermits in 1965.[citation needed]
Trevor Edward Peacock was born on 19 May 1931 in Tottenham, London, the son of Victor and Alexandra (née Matthews) Peacock. His father was a Baptist lay preacher.
Peacock was interested in performing from childhood, participating in plays at school and seeing films; he had to sneak into the cinema because his parents forbade him from seeing films. Prior to his acting career, he was a teacher for a few years in north London, including spells at Cuckoo Hall School in Edmonton and Carterhatch Junior School in Enfield.
Peacock's many television roles include Jim Trott in The Vicar of Dibley, Rouault in Madame Bovary (opposite Keith Barron), Quilp in The Old Curiosity Shop and Old Bailey in Neverwhere. He appeared in a wide variety of programmes, such as EastEnders (playing Sid, a war veteran Alfie Moon met in France), LWT's Wish Me Luck (in which he played resistance leader Renard), Jonathan Creek, Between the Lines, The Riff Raff Element, The Thin Blue Line, My Family, and in a 1990 episode of Van der Valk.[citation needed]
Peacock also wrote several films, including He Who Rides a Tiger starring Tom Bell and Judi Dench in her debut role.
Peacock had starring roles in several plays in the BBC Television Shakespeare series, including the title role in Titus Andronicus, Feste in Twelfth Night, Lord Talbot in Henry VI, Part 1 and Jack Cade in Henry VI, Part 2. He was the Gravedigger in Franco Zeffirelli's 1990 film version of Hamlet, Old Joe in the 1999 Patrick Stewart version of A Christmas Carol, and the Innkeeper in the 2000 made-for-television film version of Don Quixote. In 1962, he played Willy, in The Barber of Stamford Hill. In 1964, he appeared with The Beatles in the television special Around the Beatles, playing Peter Quince in the Pyramus and Thisbe scene (Act V, Scene 1) from William Shakespeare's A Midsummer Night's Dream.
He played the father of Father Christmas in the 2007 film Fred Claus, co-starring Vince Vaughn and Paul Giamatti. In July 2009, he also had a bit part in the TV drama Hotel Babylon. Peacock appeared as "Captain Zero" in the BBC TV series Last of The Summer Wine (1990) and as Maurey in The Sins (2000). In 2012, he played George in Quartet, a British comedy-drama film based on the play of the same title.[citation needed]
