eight two lunch
I've done panel shows, which I enjoy, and on those you're recording half-an-hour of TV and sometimes they film for two hours. But with 'Britain's Got Talent,' you're on camera for eight hours, with a large theatre audience watching - and in between you're being filmed for ITV2 as you eat your lunch.
characters lots series
We're going to make another series with lots of new characters and old characters together.
danger bigger cases
It's easier not to make a particular joke in case it offends. But every joke will offend someone, and I've always believed that the audience is bigger than one person. The danger is that things will become bland.
people satire social
Social satire has been around since people have been around.
light chocolate want
When I want comfort food, I buy Maltesers. I like all chocolates, but especially those. You can eat them, and because they're so light, you can convince yourself that they are not actually that fattening.
fun character hard-work
It can be difficult to be subtle and not cartoony in prosthetics. But when you see characters like Bubbles and Desiree from 'Little Britain' on screen, it makes all the hard work worth it. It's such fun watching those transformations.
self-confidence tvs internet
TV has lost a lot of its self-confidence as its power has been eroded by the internet.
men clothes keys
We sort of expect to see men in women's clothes. It's part of our culture. The key thing is, it has to be done quite badly.
political luck wish
I'm not a political thinker, but I've just always thought of myself as a Labour supporter. I was a great fan of Tony Blair. He sent me a letter before I swam the Channel to wish me luck.
fans mets very-happy
I don't get recognized much, and am very happy with that. The fans I have met have all been delightful.
believe successful comedian
Ricky Gervais would have you believe otherwise, but Sacha Baron Cohen is the most successful British comedian in the world.
thinking comedy humour
I don't think comedy is necessarily an attack. It's finding humour in life. I don't think if you're making a joke about something you're automatically demeaning it.
boys years dressing-up
We've got 12-year-old boys dressing up as transvestites.
doctors fans huge
I am a huge fan of 'Doctor Who.'
