In 1990 Bowles starred opposite Sir Michael Gambon in Alan Ayckbourn's Man of the Moment at the Globe Theatre.

1991

In 1991 Bowles took an idea for a dramatic film to the BBC; it was accepted, and after being written and adapted by Simon Gray, became the highly regarded Running Late episode of Screen One.
