==Career==
Barrett took the role of Malcolm Harris in ''Terry and June'' after the original actor [[Terence Alexander]] became unavailable to return for production to begin on the Christmas special, for he had just begun playing Charlie Hungerford in ''[[Bergerac (TV series)|Bergerac]]''. He played Mr Campbell-Lewiston in ''[[The Fall and Rise of Reginald Perrin]]'', episode 4 "The Bizarre Dinner Party".

Barrett played Harris from the 1980 Christmas special to the seventh series of the show, transmitted in late 1983; he was replaced in the eighth series by [[John Quayle (actor)|John Quayle]]. Four years after leaving ''Terry and June'', Barrett returned, this time playing a different character called Mr Basingstoke in the episode of the final series titled "They Also Serve".

He also appeared alongside Quayle in two episodes of ''[[Farrington of the F.O.]]'' (1986) playing the harassed P. J. Parker. He also appeared in episodes of ''[[Are You Being Served?]]'', ''[[Dad's Army]]'', ''[[The Prince of Denmark (TV series)|The Prince of Denmark]]'', ''[[To the Manor Born]]'' and ''[[George and Mildred]]''.

Although best remembered for his TV work, Barrett also appeared in films, including ''[[The Psychopath]]'' (1966), ''[[Where the Bullets Fly]]'' (1966), ''[[The Deadly Bees]]'' (1966), ''[[The Mummy's Shroud]]'' (1967), ''[[White Cargo (1973 film)|White Cargo]]'' (1973), ''[[The Slipper and the Rose]]'' (1976) and ''[[Bloodbath at the House of Death]]'' (1983).

The drama ''[[War and Remembrance (miniseries)|War and Remembrance]]'' (1988), in which he played Sir [[Trafford Leigh-Mallory]], was his last acting job. He died on 20 August 1990, aged 61.
