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.

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

I'm a terrible person for carrying things around. I carry everything around with me, it's like my home.

I thought The Visitation was good fun. We did some of that filming at Ealing on the big set.

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

One of my favorite stories was Black Orchid, because it was so different from all the others. I especially enjoyed dancing the Charleston. I have always been keen on dancing.

Strikes always leave a bad taste with everyone.
