Television director Peter Barber-Fleming, 60, from Dunblane, has been convicted of drink driving for the fourth time. He admitted driving without insurance or a licence after being banned from driving for five years in 2012.
Barber-Fleming was caught behind the wheel of his Saab 9-3 convertible on 17 August on the B8033 Kinbuck to Braco Road. The court heard he was more than twice the legal alcohol limit when stopped.
He has directed popular programmes including The Bill, Poirot, Taggart, Mortimer's Law and Casualty. After avoiding a prison sentence in March 2012 for a similar offence, he had said: 'I won't be driving again. I know I put people at risk, this could ruin my career.'
Stirling Sheriff Mark Stewart delayed sentence until 9 October, noting a 'worrying pattern' in his driving and drinking. The sheriff ordered a background report to assess his drinking habits.
