Not heard of any other work plans. South Riding has finished filming now I believe. Peter is very private so I don't think anyone would know about his health. Just going on the fact that he did 4-5 months of Spooks filming, seemingly followed by a few months filming in the Leeds area, would suggest that he is quite fit at the moment. I think that's all we can say.

I know he says he doesn't like stage work any longer but I am sure I read another interview with Peter, where he said that he wasn't welcome back to the stage after he jumped ship to go to Broadway. I think I remember the article saying, that these people have long memories.

It does sadden me slightly to hear Peter refer to his small brain again. This must be the third interview I have heard him say something similar. So modest but he certainly doesn't come across like that.
