I've always loved science, but I was never going to make much of a contribution. I'm better off having science as a hobby.

I got my first Mac in 1984. I've got an Airbook, iPad, iPhone, the lot. I love that blend of technology, creativity, and design.

On 'Death In Paradise,' I had a CGI pet lizard and had to react to nothing, which was hideously embarrassing.

I was an early adopter of everything from Myspace to Twitter, and I think they're just fads, like CB radio.

I'm very lucky, I had a very amicable separation and very amicable divorce, but it was still horrendous.

I want to get across that science is something that we all have ownership of and we can all take an interest in. We don't all have to understand complex theories, but we should have a working knowledge, like knowing your way round the engine of your car.

Science is a hobby, and I'm really into it, but it's not my job. My job is to learn about comedy and to make people laugh. Science, for me, is probably a bit like Danny Baker's love of football or Rod Stewart's obsession with train sets.

I'd like to see the argument made for greater worldwide federalism, not just the European Union.

Everyone was doing alternative comedy. I thought I'd distinguish myself by just telling jokes, with differing degrees of success.
