I like to think of myself as a natural gardener.

I have done well out of TV, but not well enough to buy football clubs. I'm not sure it's ever a way to make money.

Schoolchildren and older people like the idea of planting trees. For children, it's interesting that an acorn will grow into an oak, and for older people it's a legacy. And the act of planting a tree is not that difficult.

I think political correctness is a moving line.

You can be a famous poisoner or a successful poisoner, but not both, and the same seems to apply to Great Train Robbers.

I like being forced to think about things in a different way.

Gardening has just sort of grown on me. I find it therapeutic. And I like smelly things.
