running stars fun
Doctor Who is like any long-running series in that the cast tend to look to the star to set the general tone. Rehearsals and filming could be a lot of fun.
fun ideas two
I'm not really a science-fiction fan, I quite like the idea of getting away from the science-fiction side of it, for two episodes. It was lovely, it was a super story and great fun.
fun worry legs
I enjoyed showing a bit more leg in the last few stories. It was good fun, but it can be quite sexist. But it doesnt worry me personally all that much.
fun bigs good-fun
I thought The Visitation was good fun. We did some of that filming at Ealing on the big set.

In Amsterdam, we went for a wonderful Indonesian meal one night, and then went out for a stroll around the red light district, which was good fun.

There's lots of interesting jobs in the profession besides acting, and I like to try and keep an eye on and understand other people's jobs, rather than just my own.

Some stories are more technical than others and more difficult to do. You just have to stick with it and hope it all works out in the end.

I'd like to write a novel more than anything. I'm reading Tess of the D'Urbervilles at the moment, which is depressing me no end!

Changing costumes was bliss. Getting out of our normal gear into something new, and playing two parts, for me, was very exciting.
