Physical hardship is not the Biggins way. I feel as if I'm testing the boundaries of endurance when I can't get my favourite table at The Ivy. If there's a spider in the bath at home, I have to get my partner Neil to remove it. Show less «

[in 2013] When I did Porridge (1974) in 1974 I was on 90 pounds an episode. Now, if it's on BBC One or BBC Two, I get over a thousand pounds per episode. It was a wonderful thing for actors and sadly now everybody thinks that actors shouldn't get paid. Show less «

When I left drama school, everybody wanted to go to the RSC, and the only person who got in was me, and they were all furious because I wasn't considered to be a Shakespearean actor at all. I had the best year of my life, working with Judi Dench, Donald Sinden, Elizabeth Spriggs. Show less «

There's nothing I like more than talking about myself, so I spent a very pleasant two hours chatting to a lovely lady called Sandra. Towards the end, out of the blue, she said: 'How's your libido Christopher?' Should I be overcome by urges, she suggested, I should retire to the 'dunny' - the lavatory - to attend to them. I can assure you I did not succumb to any such urges. Show less «
