One of Turner's most recognisable roles was that of Roderick Spode (6 episodes, 1991–1993) in the ITV television series Jeeves and Wooster, based on the P. G. Wodehouse novels. He had performed the same role earlier in his career at Her Majesty's Theatre, London in Andrew Lloyd Webber's musical flop Jeeves. At the Prince Edward Theatre he performed in the role of Juan Perón in the musical theatre show Evita. He later returned to the West End playing Molokov in Tim Rice’s Chess.
