At the end of that season, I decided to leave half-way through the next season. I think that is eleven stories.

Don't ask me who my favourite monster was because I'm sick of saying Tom Baker.

One of the advantages of appearing in such a play is that you begin to understand it properly, I feel Ophelia's tragedy was that she had been so used by everybody and felt that she bore a great burden of guilt.

I think the kind of unexpected I really love is when you open books and the actual way of writing is different and interesting. Like reading Virginia Woolf for the first time or Lawrence Durrell for the first time.

I enjoyed the promotion with K9 on my introduction day.

I came into the series quite late, which was quite nerve wracking. The cast were incredibly kind and I thoroughly enjoyed it.

Thankfully, we were on the same level as each other. He'd wanted to write me out in a special story halfway through the next series.

No, the maxim is not true, robotic dogs are definitely the thing to work with, K9, aren't you. Probably better than real dogs I dare say.

I can't bear it that Douglas isn't still here.
