I used to watch 'Doctor Who' as a child with William Hartnell and Pat Troughton in the black-and-white days, so being cast is brilliant.

Families have a sense of kinship that no four strangers would ever have as a team.

If I'm doing a job, I'll give it 100%, and that job gets my absolute focus, and everything else goes to the side. Then, that job is finished, I'll concentrate on the next job.

On my tombstone it will say, 'At last, a day off.'

I don't think I can plate-spin, I've turned loads of things down because I just can't get the time to do it.

Everyone's got to have a bit of faith.

I was a sheet metal worker, then a metal engineer, then a Pontin's bluecoat, then a comedian. You can achieve anything you want if you put your mind to it.

You never know what's coming round the corner. There's only one thing coming round the corner - more corners.

I thought, as a kid, that I was The Doctor's biggest fan, so my mum and dad bought me a battery-operated Dalek. I must have worn it out, I played with it so much.
