David P. Burke (born 25 May 1934) is an English actor, known for playing Watson in the initial series of Granada Television's 1980s The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes, which starred Jeremy Brett in the title role. He also starred as Josef Stalin in the last two episodes of Reilly, Ace of Spies.
Burke was born in Liverpool, England on 25 May 1934 and trained at Royal Academy of Dramatic Art.
In the theatre, Burke originated the part of Niels Bohr in Michael Frayn's Copenhagen.
He played Dr. Watson in The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes for the initial series and then left the programme after receiving an invitation to join the Royal Shakespeare Company along with his wife, Anna. They both considered the joint work to be the best idea for their young son, Tom, who was around 3 years old at the time. He was thought by many to portray Dr. Watson with an excellent style. He was replaced by Edward Hardwicke. Burke had earlier experience with Holmes having played the villain in an adaptation of "The Adventure of the Beryl Coronet" for the 1965 BBC series starring Douglas Wilmer and Nigel Stock.

Plot: Jasper Dean loves music. Some say he loves music too much. When he hears a beat he must dance, in fact, he can't stop. Jasper's father, Jed, was a musician. He left to go on the road when Jasper was just three years old. Jasper used to dance to his father's music all day long until his feet would bleed. Jed knew he wasn't coming back, so he told Jasper, "As long as you keep dancing to the music, I'll always be in your heart and you'll always be in mine." In Jasper's home, Shinola, West Virginia, the town's people don't know what to think of Jasper's uncontrollable dancing. Some think he's possessed, others have more "colorful" explanations. One thing is for sure, his fate awaits him at the Shinola County Fair. This year the fair features Jericho, "America's number one banjo pickin' sensation". Jericho plays for one reason - to honor his father's dying wish.
