Television provokes strong opinions, and sometimes we try a bit too hard to appeal to everyone.

I've always liked to think I could do anything I wished as well as - if not better than - a man. But I wasn't very good at rally driving.

So, my style has hopefully changed over the years and it is more relaxed, and I do tend to smile and have more than one expression these days hopefully - which I didn't at the beginning.

I think there's a far more general audience now because I've done more populist stuff on telly.

The thing I thought about doing it was it's Comic Relief and you've got to be funny. So although I did try to sing properly it obviously has hilarious results when you can't sing.

My doctor told me I should get out of breath three times a week, so I took up smoking.

I like to read my diary occasionally to remind myself what a miserable, alienated old sod I used to be.
