Carson made a guest appearance on the BBC series Hustle, as Bollywood film fan and perfectionist Kulvinder Samar, and in Spooks and The IT Crowd. He provided alien voices for the Doctor Who episodes "The End of the World", "The Impossible Planet", "The Satan Pit", "Planet of the Ood" and "The End of Time".

In late 2007, Carson appeared in several episodes of the BBC's school drama Waterloo Road as a blackmailer Stuart Hordley. He had a minor role in series one of the BBC sit-com Outnumbered, as a character named Ravi, when Sue and Pete had a dinner party. Carson starred in the third series of BBC3 comedy How Not to Live Your Life alongside Dan Clark and David Armand, portraying Samantha's university professor-love interest, Brian. Carson starred in the DCI Banks episode "Buried" (2015) as Raheel Kamel.
