I could, I think, quite easily have gone to Oxford. I got four good A levels, but my father's income was such that I wouldn't have got a grant, and he wouldn't let me go to university, and that was the end of it.

I loathe cheese, it makes me ill.

I take every job on its merits.

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

I never turn down scripts without good reason. If I did, I would probably never work.

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.

It was lovely to do The Knock because I haven't done anything really significant since Doctor Who.
