Technology is a global thing and wherever you go, people are prodding the same devices and worrying in the same way and have had their lives slightly altered in the same way.

That's not something that we've gone in thinking 'Right! How are we going to examine that now?' It's just when you take a step back you see that they're actually all sort of in that mode.

On the other hand [making a string of one-off episodes], there's a real freedom, because you're kind of reinventing the show every week.

We take things that would have struck us as miraculous five years ago for granted. Like Pokémon Go would have been insane, and now it's just like, "Oh, okay."

There's something I find very satisfying about a nice ironic twist.

I'm not some anti-technology person. I think it's often how people would assume that if they don't know me.

Hi-def is merely the latest in a string of evolutional leaps that have transformed the way we sit slumped in front of a box wishing we were dead.
