David has narrated several documentaries

Bruce Alexander - Superintendent Stanley Mullett

Bruce, 74, is perhaps best known for playing the Superintendent for nearly 18 years on A Touch of Frost, but that certainly isn't his only achievement! He played Peter Bachman in 2013's Love and Marriage, and most recently starred in BBC's Doctors - did you spot him on the show?

He revealed that he is now a pensioner in an interview with This is Money for the Mail on Sunday in 2018, saying: "I started saving into a pension when I was 41, and I am so glad I did as I am drawing on it now. I also have a stock market Isa. I check on it, but I leave the fund manager to choose where my money is invested."
