T.R.Fenton-Fields played old age character (4,10)

I believe the answer is:

fred flintstone

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'old age character' is the definition.
I know nothing about this answer so I can't judge whether it can be defined by this definition.

't r fenton-fields played' is the wordplay.
'played' indicates an anagram.
't'+'r'+'fenton'+'fields'='trfentonfields'
'trfentonfields' is an anagram of 'FRED FLINTSTONE'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for fred flintstone that I've seen before include "Bedrock character" , "Animated quarryman" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
