He had a lengthy career, but possibly his best-known role was as the husband in three of the four series of Not in Front of the Children.[2] He also appeared on Jackanory several times, usually narrating stories about the Wombles. He also starred in the 1959-60 sitcom Tell It to the Marines.[3]
In 1967 Hines played Eric Redman in the 11th episode of the 5th series of the popular British action adventure The Saint, the episode entitled The Paper Chase.
In 1988 he played Home Secretary Henry Matthews in the TV film Jack the Ripper which starred Michael Caine.[4]
He also appeared in a number of films, starting with Dunkirk in 1958 and finishing with Rough Cut in 1980.[5] All of his subsequent screen roles have been on television rather than in films.
