I don't get many hecklers now but answering them is an art form in itself.

You'll like this, not a lot, but you'll like it.

When people say to me don't the years go fast I have to be honest and say that whereas I don't realise where they go in the long term, I pack so much into a year it seems to take forever.

I am still working on patter and presentation.

I don't particularly have any magical ambitions, but then, I never did. I just enjoyed the game.

Even though the vast majority of my work was outside television, the amount of creation and inventing that went into the TV shows was non stop and, unknown to me, a great strain.
