Tom is the most eccentric person I have ever worked with. We get on very well and I am most impressed with how he can hold an audience in the palm of his hand.

I'm quite grateful to the BBC. They helped me back onto the touring circuit.

They can certainly expect to be very impressed with the technical aspects of the show, fooled and led up the garden path by the story and ultimately have a jolly good laugh!

I never watch TV. I'm a Radio Four addict. I love listening to music too.

I would love to go back as Leela in this new series.

We were the victims of the new producer but what annoyed me was they told the press we were leaving before us.

It was all to do with the change of producer as well as political reasons I don't really comprehend.
