Only Fools and Horses: Daniel Peacock stars as Metal Mickey<\/h3>\n

Only Fools and Horses star Daniel Peacock has opened up about trading in his time on TV for a quieter life in his caravan. Daniel starred as Mental Mickey during one episode of the hit show back in 1985 and other shows such as Doctor Who, Birds of a Feather and One Foot in the Grave.<\/p>\n

Daniel found his love of helping others when he got his first “real job” with the lifestyles team at the care home. He soon turned his TV lifestyle into a quieter one when he stepped away from the limelight for good.<\/p>\n

It came after his father Trevor Peacock, most known for playing Jim Trott in The Vicar of Dibley, was battling dementia. Since then he has taken the role of caring to a new level and applied for his new role to push himself out of his comfort zone.<\/p>\n

Three years ago Dan had just finished writing the second series of his UK TV comedy Marley\u2019s Ghosts when he found himself at a loose end and so applied for a job out of his comfort zone.<\/p>\n

Speaking about making the decision, he told MyLondon: “I bought a caravan in Kent as I thought I really wanted to get some solitude and I\u2019ve always loved holiday parks.<\/p>\n

“So there I am in my caravan writing every now and then, enjoying no pressure and stress. I started watching TV programs I\u2019ve never watched before in my life, not the greatest but they were on TV.<\/p>\n

“Then my son Charlie said ‘Dad you\u2019re watching way too much television’ and suggested I get a job.<\/p>\n

“At that time, I thought ‘I don\u2019t even know how to do anything else’, he found me a job at Hastings Court.”<\/p>\n

Dan is still working on projects for TV behind the scenes but has committed himself to enhancing the lives of the residents at the care home where he arranges activities.<\/p>\n
