I do remember reading the script of 'The Nightmare Fair' and looking forward to doing it.

As any actor will tell you, the hardest thing to do is small parts, because you focus all your attention and concentration on that small part. When you're playing the lead part, you don't have time to think about the whole of it, so you just have to steam on and get on with it.

I'm an actor. If you had said to me before I started acting that I'd get two bites of the cherry - you would do things that people will remember forever like 'The Brothers' which I did in the '70s and now 'Doctor Who' - I'd have been overjoyed and I still am.

I'm perfectly proud of the work I did, looking back at it. I know I've had a bit of a revision since my 'Big Finish' stories came out.

If you turn down work because you are frightened of getting typecast, you'll never do anything good.

I never have reservations about doing anything as long as I'm being paid.

I loathe cheese, it makes me ill.
