The Good Doctor

A handsome new locum wins Maggie's heart but soon falls out of favour with the locals when a misdiagnosis results in tragedy. A display of courage by Andy reconciles him with Gina, and Greengrass's bike hire business turns out to be seriously flawed _ much to Ventress's discomfort. Rural drama, starring Kazia Pelka and Bill Maynard

Bill Maynard (Actor) .. Claude Jeremiah Greengrass
Born: October 08, 1928 in Farnham, Surrey
Best Known For: Playing Claude Greengrass in Heartbeat.
Early-life: Walter Frederick George Williams was born in Farnham, Surrey, on October 8, 1928. He was eight when he sang Leaning On a Lamppost in his first public appearance at a working men's club in Leicestershire. He went on to work as a young performer on the local working men's club circuit and built up an act that included songs and monologues.
Career: Maynard's big break came in 1951 when he worked with comedy actor Terry Scott at Butlins in Skegness. Maynard began getting work on radio shows for the BBC and it was at this time he changed his name. His first TV appearance came in 1953 when he performed on Henry Hall's Face the Music. In 1955, he partnered with Terry Scott again on popular comedy TV series Great Scott, It's Maynard! He then switched to acting and was soon starring in the West End in You Too Can Have a Body. He continued to have success on the stage throughout the 1960s but by the end of the decade he was forced to return to doing stand-up in working men's clubs to earn a living. An offer to play a part in the film version of Till Death Us Do Part (1969) came out of the blue and this led to work on the big screen in the Carry On films and the Confessions Of movies, and on the small screen in popular sitcoms Oh No, It's Selwyn Froggitt, Selwyn, and The Gaffer. In 1992, he landed the role of Greengrass in Heartbeat, a part he would play on the series until 2000 when he was forced to retire temporarily from acting after suffering a number of strokes. He returned to the Greengrass character in 2003 in Heartbeat spin-off The Royal.
Quote: 'To do comedy is fifty times harder than any drama, you've got to be a specialist to do comedy but not drama.'
