All pleasure should be a little bent, don't you think?

When I was your age — about, ooh, a thousand years ago — I loved a good bedtime story. The Three Little Sontarans. The Emperor Dalek's New Clothes. Snow White and the Seven Keys to Doomsday, eh? All the classics.

At school I briefly wanted to be a palaeontologist, but I was no good at chemistry and physics.

I always wanted to do Restoration comedy. It seems like so much fun.

I am a gay man who loves James Bond films and snooker - all kinds of working-class pursuits.

You can always expect tragedy as well as adventure; that's just how it goes.
