What you don't see backstage is what really controls the show.

In the studio, if they need to come down to the floor, things are a bit pushy, although it is easier for them to say things directly rather than through about five people.

I'd like to do some more classical work if I do some more theatre.

I would like to direct. What goes on behind stage is very interesting.

Before I got Doctor Who, I went to the Guildhall School of Music and Drama. I went back to take the final grade exam, which is the grade you have to take before you can take the teachers diploma.

Doctor Who is like any long-running series in that the cast tend to look to the star to set the general tone. Rehearsals and filming could be a lot of fun.

I often look at a lot of Doctor Who stuff that's about now, which no one has approached me about.
