    Can be seen in a very funny movie, usually on independent stations 
    late at night. The movie is called "Carry On Sergeant". Hartnell has
    the starring role.

     Appeared in a episode of "All Creatures Great and Small" although
     he is very hard to recognize.

       Also starred in a Christmas special with James Coco called
       "The Curious Case of Santa Claus". It has a funny reference
       to his role as the Doctor. Can be seen on ARTS & ENTERTAINMENT
       cable network.
       And a terrible psuedo-documentary about desert life entitled
       "Four Against the Desert" (may have been 5, I'm not quite sure)

        Also: Remington Steele- played a british detective gone bad.
        And a good role as the evil prince in "The Golden Voyage of Sinbad"
        though he is hard to recognize until he smiles.
