I'll be the in to your sane.

If you've been massive and it's all slid away, you tend to get written off. It's quite difficult to overcome that, which is why I've got this problem with nostalgia.

I was always a bit different. I had a very happy childhood, but I could never hang on to mates.

I've always considered myself to be fiercely patriotic. I love Britain - its history and the down-to-earth attitude people have.

Ultravox were the blueprint for what I wanted to do, but I stumbled across them by accident.

We have heard projects with some of the writers, who we've been in business with for a long time at the studio, that we've heard as a studio - often, pitches that are still in their formation stage where we or the writers have wanted our input on developing them. We've probably heard more pitches with the network hat on. Certainly all of the outside pitches are that way, and many of the pitches that have been in great shape coming out of the studio we've heard from a network perspective.

Time heals nothing, it merely rearranges our memory.
