In 1996–97, he played the recurring character of Ferdy Garcia in the BBC TV series This Life. A 10th-anniversary return of the show in 2006 was based on Ferdy's funeral, and Tikaram therefore did not appear. In 1997, Tikaram was offered a role in the Star Wars prequel trilogy, but refused because it required that he cut his hair. In October 2009, it was announced that Tikaram would appear in the BBC One soap opera EastEnders. He played the part of Qadim Shah, father of the established character Amira Shah. He appeared on-screen in the role from 17 December 2009 to 29 April 2010 in two stints, then returned on 6 September 2011 and 6 January 2012 for short appearances. He appeared as Prendahl in Game of Thrones in 2013. In 2013-2015, Tikaram played the part of Dom in Channel 4 sitcom Man Down.
