Granada Studios Tour
Lucas worked a Granada Studios Tour from 2000 to 2009 in various roles ranging from Number 10 Downing Street Policeman, New York Cop, Baker Street Characters, German Guard at Checkpoint Charlie and many others. Notably he worked as writer/performer in the House of Commons Show (a live comedy debate,set in a lifesize version of the House of Commons). Lucas played the roles of Speaker of the House, Black Rod and Labour and Conservative Members of Parliament.
At the Studios Tour Live action shows were performed at intervals throughout each day, including a parody of a political debate in the House of Commons chamber set used for First Among Equals. This set was often used by other television productions wanting to set scenes in the Commons chamber, such as The New Statesman, and in 2002 was purchased by the scriptwriter Paul Abbott so that it could be used in his BBC drama serial State of Play.

Famous quotes containing the word tour:
“Do you know I believe that [William Jennings] Bryan will force his nomination on the Democrats again. I believe he will either do this by advocating Prohibition, or else he will run on a Prohibition platform independent of the Democrats. But you will see that the year before the election he will organize a mammoth lecture tour and will make Prohibition the leading note of every address.”
—William Howard Taft (1857–1930)
