• It was lovely to do The Knock because I haven't done anything really significant since Doctor Who.
• One way of watering down the effects of violence is to approach it in a more lighthearted way. I don't mean to say that you laugh when somebody has their arm sawn off, but you can diffuse fear with humour.
• I loathe cheese, it makes me ill.
• I never have reservations about doing anything as long as I'm being paid.
• I was well aware of the fact that once you appeared in Doctor Who as something else, you were ruled out for the part of the Doctor: that was a kind of well known thing in the business.
