The shop assistant working at Harrods, who looked down his nose at Phoebe, was played by Peter Hughes.

Peter Hughes, born on 20 May 1922 was an English actor with a career spanning five decades. He was an actor, founder and director of theatre, but was best known for his film and television roles.

In television, Hughes played the recurring role of a bank manager in the BBC series Bergerac.

Other notable roles include an English tourist in Love Is a Splendid Illusion (1970) and a harried golfer in a Last of the Summer Wine episode. He appeared in An Englishman's Castle in 1978, a serial of alternative history in which the N***s have won the Second World War. Another appearance in 1978 was as the underworld crime boss William Henry Hayden in an episode of the hard-hitting British police drama The Professionals.

Hughes and his wife Erica were the parents of cricketer and journalist Simon Hughes (born 1959) and historian and broadcaster Bettany Hughes (born 1967). He retired in 1999 and died in February 2019 at the age of 96.

Series Four - Episode Ten
‘Careless Talk’

With the arrival of Baby Sparrow just around the corner, Phoebe and Gary are far from prepared. With the nursery needing to be decorated and furniture still to be bought, Gary isn't worried as he knows he can sort it by using money to pay for a decorator and then to fund a trip to Harrods. One major stumbling block though... Gary has run out of wartime money. A trip back to the 90s to request some more from Ron doesn't go to plan, as Ron tells Gary that he will only print some more if Gary manages to convince Yvonne's friend to go on a date with Ron. A tricky dilemma as Yvonne's friend is more interested in exposing Gary as a time traveller, rather than to go on a date with Ron.
