Briers first came to prominence as George Starling in Marriage Lines (1963–66), but it was a few years later, when he narrated Roobarb (1974–76) and Noah and Nelly in... SkylArk (1976–77) and played Tom Good in the BBC sitcom The Good Life (1975–78), that he became a household name.

From the late 1980s, with Kenneth Branagh as director, he performed Shakespearean roles in Henry V (1989), Much Ado About Nothing (1993), Hamlet (1996) and As You Like It (2006), and also appeared in Branagh's Swan Song (1992), Peter's Friends (1992), Mary Shelley's Frankenstein (1994), and In the Bleak Midwinter (1995).
