Sometimes I wish I could clone myself, you know, be in two places at once.
I loved making it but when I saw it, I thought, 'Oh my God. I'm a big green lizard running around Cardiff? Is that it?' It's nice to have been in 'Doctor Who' but that is regarded by fans as the worst episode ever.
I can only write about what I know, I'd be crap anywhere else.
Fatherhood has changed me - it has to change you. It makes you much more aware of the minutiae of life, it's not about your needs any more, its about everyone else's.
There's some belting hymns. Brilliant hymns. When I was an altar boy the hymns were great.
I've got loads of ideas swimming round, and I've even organised them in a nice folder on me computer.
Children don't mind when something was made - they don't discriminate in that way. I tape very early episodes of 'Rainbow' and 'Trumpton' for my son and watch them with him. He loves them. 'Trumpton' was made in 1967, but he still watches it like it's brand new.
A lot of people have got into it because of money, but true comedians do it because they can't help it, and feel slightly removed doing anything else. That were case with me.
I never settled because I wasn't meant to pack toilet rolls or stack shelves.
I'd always wanted to do a children's series.
In showbiz one minute you're up there making thousands of people laugh, next minute you're picking up toffees, you know it's real life.
Audiences want comedy that has no venom. They want to have a laugh without it becoming twee.
If you're struggling and you just get a sense when you're writing that you might be running out of ideas, that's when I think you should walk away.
Bernard Manning is controversial but he had incredible timing. I wrote the character of Brian Potter in 'Phoenix Nights' for him to play but unfortunately he was too poorly to do it. I thought it would have been perfect casting but it didn't happen.
If my mum or my wife says that something isn't funny, I know I've struck gold.
It's like a childish dream come true to be in 'Doctor Who' and to be an alien.
I keep my cuttings for when I'm back on the bins. I believe that it's not going to last. At least I will be able to say, 'I lived.'
I believe in a God of some kind, in some sort of higher being. Personally I find it very comforting.
I believe that a man called Jesus did walk the earth at one time but I don't think he was the superhero that the Bible makes him out to be.
I'm a grafter, but all I've ever been is myself.
