[nicholas craig] third rate thespian

Bill Cameron has an interesting piece on a devastating review by the Radio Times on an upcoming programme on BBC4:

Third-division thespian Nicholas Craig is inexplicably given another hour of airtime to sound off on acting technique ... It's hard to know what's most unbearable about Craig: his vain self-promotion ... his flagrant name-dropping or his evident bitterness at having been written out of Doctors ...

Immediately, this smelt a lot like an alter-ego of comedian Nigel Planer, ex Young Ones. He did a series of shows some years back on Masterclasses and one I recall was on How to be a Weatherman, where he demonstrated Michael Fish techniques, among others.
