He said that he was thoroughly put in his place after he got a laugh from the audience while filming in a London studio. Peter said: "I was a policeman and I got a laugh and I thought, ‘brilliant’.“But he got it wrong deliberately and as we had to set up to go again he said to me, ‘don’t ever do that again’.“He didn’t like that I had got the laugh.
