audition saw
I think I was first choice for the part. I don't know - that's what they always tell you anyway. I didn't have to do any audition for the part. Sam saw me in Dinner and the whole thing slipped into place.
far funny gets main scenes terribly turn
I only have three scenes and each is a turn and she gets progressively drunker. It's all terribly funny and its main challenge is that it's so far away from what I usually do.
They must have a feeling of do or die. It is such an overcrowded profession.
career definitely family half hold house juggling life miss puts second strain
It definitely puts a strain on family life - I miss them like mad. Being a working mother I've been juggling house and career from day one. I want to hold out for telly for the second half of the year.
brought dr fans firm good incredibly
He was incredibly good as Dr Who. He brought all his eccentricities to the role and was so charismatic and charming. He must be the fans firm favourite.
reading hook pages
It's a comedy thriller, brilliantly written and it's full of twists and turns at every page. When I was reading it I was desperate to get to the end to find out what happens, it really hooks you.
annoyed leaving victim
We were the victims of the new producer but what annoyed me was they told the press we were leaving before us.
series
I would love to go back as Leela in this new series.
addiction listening four
I never watch TV. I'm a Radio Four addict. I love listening to music too.
rude disappointing said
They handled it very badly. It was disappointing and very humiliating. John York was very rude. He never consulted with me over what he said to the press.
hands eccentric holding-on
Tom is the most eccentric person I have ever worked with. We get on very well and I am most impressed with how he can hold an audience in the palm of his hand.
grateful careers unfair
I found that a bit unfair. However, I did feel quite liberated when I left. I'm very grateful to the show - it revived a flagging career, but I'm glad to be away from it now.
grateful touring circuits
I'm quite grateful to the BBC. They helped me back onto the touring circuit.
thinking space theatre
I think it's one of my favourite theatres ever, so quirky and wonderful and steeped in history. The space is wonderful and the acoustics are brilliant.
