Arguably one of the roles he is most famous for was as station porter Albert Perks in The Railway Children, released in 1970. The first two series each had two stories written by Russell T Davies, with whom both Bernard Cribbins and Freema Agyeman had previously worked on Doctor Who. This was the first time Davies had ever written for a pre-school audience. [2] On writing for pre-schoolers Davies said "It's exciting new territory for me, writing for this age range.
