[2] Douglas wrote and directed the improbably long-running career of uber-thesp Nicholas Craig (Nigel Planer), whose autobiography I, An Actor was first published in 1988, and who has continued to appear on TV and on stage ever since.
He left school at 15 to work as an assistant stage manager in various regional theatres, such as Porthcawl, Ilfracombe, Bristol Old Vic, Worcester and the Wyvern, Swindon, where he made his performing debut as the back end of Alfred the Horse.
