It's a very bad time for genuinely creative people to do television or anything now. There isn't a huge audience anymore to get the big budget which you need to make good drama unless you get sponsorship or unless you get teen stars to be in them. That sort of ties in with marketing and Coca-Cola and all that stuff.

I have lots of images of my father. One of them is cooking a tin of ravioli in the boat hut when we'd been fishing. I don't know why. And also, he did a fantastic soft shoe shuffle, which he would do in front of the fridge when the day's work was finished. He was very dapper, very smart, always very well turned out.

It's hell with that big beard and stuff. That's the one bit I don't like. Either you take out at lunch or you don't eat. So I opted not to eat, 'cause having to put it on twice is horrific.

My dad? He died when I was 19, which is a bad time for your dad to die, because there's an awful lot of things you have to resolve with your parents past your teens if you've been a difficult teenager.
