I bought myself a juke box with my first bit of TV money and since then I don't think I've ever really gone mental.

I do write a lot of stuff for my tours. I think I just want to give people their money's worth. They've paid to come and see jokes so I try to give them as many as I can.

My only ambition was to get to 50, and not regret not having had a crack at being a comic.

I'm not opposed to the consumption of alcohol. I'm opposed to my kids watching TV at seven o'clock and being told to bet and drink.

I could have done a night at the O2 in London, but I couldn't bring myself to do it. I'm not being big-headed, but for my act I can't be talking to an audience of 12,000 people. There's no intimacy.

I talk a lot when I'm nervous.

Genuinely my big thing and the reason I'm in 'The Miser' is because I always ask myself one simple question when I'm offered anything: Will it get me nearer to being 'Doctor Who' or further away?

Not Going Out' is what I'm most proud of.

I like Cornwall and particularly the Isle of Mull on the west coast of Scotland where I got married. It's absolutely beautiful.

Telling lies is the easy bit, but telling the truth and pretending you are lying is hard.

If it's not a film in which Harrison Ford's wife is being kidnapped, I'm not interested; he's my hero.

It's much harder to have a BBC One sitcom than to have a tour of stand-up.
