In 1971 Evans played the character of Eli Frome in Pete Walker's low-budget thriller "Die Screaming, Marianne", alongside Susan George. In 1976 he had the lead role in Stanley Long's sex comedy "Adventures of a Taxi Driver". Unlike in "Here We Go Round the Mulberry Bush", in which the viewer partakes in Jamie's thoughts, here Evans's character breaks the fourth wall throughout the film. Although the film was successful, Evans decided not to appear in the sequels, but he starred in the similarly themed "Under the Doctor" the same year.
