Noel Johnson was anEnglish actor.
He appeared in the 1967 story The Underwater Menace and the 1974 story Invasion of the Dinosaurs
He was the radio voice of Dick Barton special agent on BBCradio and Dan Dare on Radio Luxembourg.
His assured upper class voice cadence made him ideal for characters of that type, notably in the BBC Radio 4 dramatic adaptation of A Dance to the Music of Time by Anthony Powell. This was broadcast as 26 1-hour episodes between 1978 and 1981; Johnson played the novel sequence's narrator Nicholas Jenkins, while the younger Nicholas was played by Gareth Johnson in the first 18 episodes. In the last quarter of the series - in which Jenkins is in late middle-age - Johnson plays Jenkins alone.
His movie career included small roles in Defence of the Realm, Withnail & I, andFor Your Eyes Only, and numerous television dramas, including Dixon of Dock Green, Coronation Street, Out of the Unknown, Doomwatch, Death of an Expert Witness, Colditz, Rumpole of the Bailey, Inspector Morse and A Touch of Frost, amongst many others.
