There's no formula. It just happens or it doesn't. And, fortunately enough for us, it happened.

You want it to happen, but at the same time you don't want it to happen. It's one of those weird things like Ross and Rachel, you want them to get it back on but you don't.

Rose has had adventures and she's a lot more confident as a companion. She's on a par with the Doctor, more so than last year. She's seen some incredible things, terrifying things. This time she's more experienced as a woman, as a companion; she does everything with more conviction. There's stuff that she understands a bit more, so it's a natural progression.

There are lots of places for Rose to go. I have had a ball. I might still be here in 40 years.

I think I just had a message from my mum.

There's some great stuff on telly at the moment.

The worst thing I have ever listened to.

Everyone had an amazing night. Thank you so much to all the generous people who were there raising so much money.

At first, Rose isn't that keen on the idea - she wants the Doctor all to herself. But Mickey, this year, really comes into his own. And he saves the day.
