Sinden spent two seasons at Stratford-on-Avon '70-'71, did pantomime, and repertory, a season at Chichester, and a tour of The Mating Game and the Chiltern Hundreds, but he felt he really needed to hone his acting skills so off he set to the London Academy of Music and Dramatic Art.  It was at LAMDA where he earned a Forsyth award
