“I went to University after my A levels and did a degree in performing arts. It was only when I got there that I realized there were stage schools out there, and you had your union and your contacts and The Spotlight and this whole world of the acting industry that I had no idea about. So when I graduated, I took a year out and just thought really hard about whether it was something I knew enough about, and whether it was the career I could dedicate the rest of my wacky life to.”

That's been appreciated by the fans, and the executives never expect me to be brushed up on absolutely everything.”

The companions are very much the everyman, and the audience watches the story through their eyes, so they could be the person next door. And everybody's different.”
