Actor Samuel West, 58, star of All Creatures Great and Small on Channel 5, has escaped a driving ban by claiming a penalty would deprive fans from seeing a well-loved classic car in the show
But it seems the classic car he drives on the show should share top billing.
West, who plays cantankerous vet Siegfried Farnon in the Channel 5 drama, admitted speeding in his BMW. The performer – son of Timothy West, 90, and Prunella Scales, 92 – is understood to have already had nine points on his licence when he exceeded a 20mph limit in Islington, north London.The actor behind the wheel in scenes for All Creatures Great and Small
West is understood to have said it was important for him to be filmed driving the 1935 Rover convertible, which he said in itself was a popular character.
