2009 TV series Holby City, “Just a Perfect Day”
In the bittersweet “Just a Perfect Day” Peter reprises his role as surgeon Dan Clifford in the last episode in which trainee registrar Maddie Young appears. While it was good to see Peter playing the part of the talented consultant again, it was also sad to see Nadine Lewington departing the Holby City ensemble. The dynamic between Peter’s character and Nadine’s was eminently watchable. BBC

But in season seven CTU has been disbanded, and Jack Bauer has been taken to Washington D.C. to testify before a Senate investigation of the discredited agency.
Bauer is quickly hi-jacked by the FBI to help them with the latest terrorist threat.

Peter’s character, David Emerson, is a former British agent turned mercenary, now working to help a military leader in his attempt to take over an African nation. Bauer is led to Emerson by the third member of the underground CTU renegades, the formerly thought deceased agent, Tony Almeida, played by Carlos Bernard. Emerson apparently saved Almeida’s life and rescued him from CTU during the fifth season. Since then Emerson has molded Almeida into his band of mercenaries. Almeida is conflicted about turning against Emerson, but he goes with the winner, and Jack Bauer is always the winner. Fox Network.
