A Bit of a Carry On

Tyler Butterworth grew up in a very theatrical family (his father was Carry On star Peter Butterworth and his mother was the Mrs Thatcher impressionist Janet Brown). Having spent his childhood sitting in the wings (literally) and waiting patiently on film sets, he went straight into the business himself. He has worked in film, radio, theatre and television where his work includes Rumpole of the Bailey, Last of the Summer Wine, Mike & Angelo, The Darling Buds of May, The Mrs Bradley Mysteries, and The Gingerbread Girl, where he met his wife, the actress Janet Dibley.
