enjoyed promotion
I enjoyed the promotion with K9 on my introduction day.
dare definitely dogs maxim robotic work
No, the maxim is not true, robotic dogs are definitely the thing to work with, K9, aren't you. Probably better than real dogs I dare say.
advantages appearing begin bore burden everybody felt great understand
One of the advantages of appearing in such a play is that you begin to understand it properly, I feel Ophelia's tragedy was that she had been so used by everybody and felt that she bore a great burden of guilt.
I can't bear it that Douglas isn't still here.
child pretended television watching
As for watching it, I never really did as a child because we didn't watch all that much television so I pretended I did at the interview.
halfway level next special
Thankfully, we were on the same level as each other. He'd wanted to write me out in a special story halfway through the next series.
biologist chuck draw few husband useful
I draw animals, so I'm useful to my biologist husband because I can chuck out a few illustrations for slides for lectures, and things like that.
thinking way
I was quite happy with the way I went, I think.
long annoyed scarves
We were only there for five days and during that time Tom was a bit annoyed that the French were more interested in me and my schoolgirl outfit than him and his long scarf.
fun princess having-fun
Oh, I have to say Romana; she was much more fun to do but I did enjoy the Princess when she was turning bad.
fear awful
I had an awful lot to say in what I wore as Romana.
book reading writing
I think the kind of unexpected I really love is when you open books and the actual way of writing is different and interesting. Like reading Virginia Woolf for the first time or Lawrence Durrell for the first time.
clever fun real
I think Douglas was a real one-off. He was so clever and so intelligent and so well read in real science that he could make science fiction work as well as it did. And just such fun to have around, he was just such a lovely man.
sick monsters bakers
Don't ask me who my favourite monster was because I'm sick of saying Tom Baker.
