characters lots series
We're going to make another series with lots of new characters and old characters together.
self-confidence tvs internet
TV has lost a lot of its self-confidence as its power has been eroded by the internet.
doctors fans huge
I am a huge fan of 'Doctor Who.'
entertainers havens
I haven't traditionally been a family entertainer.
tired thames length
I've just swum the length of the Thames. I feel quite tired.
thinking names unfortunate
I know somebody from university who's called Phil Collins and I think there's something terribly unfortunate about sharing a name With somebody who either is famous or becomes famous.
flower tea important
It's important when you're married not to forget those things you used to do when you were trying to get her to marry you. You can't send flowers and buy gifts then, when you're married, say, 'Right, get my tea on'. That doesn't go down well. So you've got to keep that level of interest going.
laughter shows
I have always liked shows that have laughter in them.
gentleman retired traits
I don't know what I'll be like when I'm 60. I already have the traits of a retired gentleman.
football heart men
I don't have a lot to share with other men. My heart sinks when I get into a taxi and someone starts talking to me about football.
book character writing
I love telling stories. I love the intimacy between the writer and reader. When you write sketches it's over in two minutes. When you write a book the characters have to have a bit of emotional depth.
airports human-life found
All human life can be found in an airport.
air tv-shows risk
I don't have a fear factor. Well, not much of one. And I'm willing to risk quite a lot - as a comedian, you're always risking a lot. You're risking failure, especially if you're improvising and going on TV shows trying to make comedy out of thin air. That is quite a risky business.
fun years healthy
My favourite restaurant of all time is Mildreds on London's Lexington Street. It's a little vegetarian restaurant and is really fun and healthy, too. It was the first place I went to in London and really liked. That was 20 years ago, and it is still my favourite.
