After "A Town Like Alice" and "The Professionals", Gordon Jackson continued his television work with appearances in "Hart to Hart", "Campion" and "Shaka Zulu" and the films "The Shooting Party" and "The Whistle Blower." He also appeared in the theatre, appearing in "Cards on the Table", adapted from the novel by Agatha Christie at the Vaudeville Theatre in 1981 and in "Mass Appeal" by Bill C. Davis at the Lyric Hammersmith in 1982. From 1985 to 1986, Jackson narrated two afternoon cookery shows in New Zealand for TVNZ called "Fresh and Fancy Fare" and its successor "Country Fare". His last role before his death was in "Effie's Burning", and this was broadcast posthumously.
