Peter Davison
1982 - 1984

Peter Moffett better known as his stage name Peter Davison was born in 1951 in the Streatham area of London. Ten years later his family moved to Woking in Surrey, where he participated in a number of plays and eventually joined a local amateur dramatic society. He left school at the age of 16 and was able to find jobs such as hospital porter to clothes press operator. Later he managed to obtain a place at the Central School of Speech and Drama for three years. In 1972 he finally secured a small role in Love's Labour's Lost at the Nottingham Playhouse. After this he worked for three years in repertory companies around the UK. He finally made his television debut appearing with his future wife Sandra Dickinson in the science fiction series The Tomorrow People. He spent the next eighteen months working as a filing clerk while showing an interest in songwriting and singing and recorded several singles with Dickinson. In 1977 he secured prominent roles in two series, Love For Lydia and BBC's All Creatures Great and Small. It was Davison's success with All Creatures Great and Small that brought him more work including Holding the Fort and BBC's Sink or Swim. It was September 1980 that John Nathan-Turner suggested to him to become the fifth Doctor in Doctor Who. Davison finally agreed in November.
