[on The Master] Not wishing to disrespect the actor, but I thought Anthony Ainley's moustache-twirling was a joke. That wasn't a threat. And once again, John Simm, great in Life on Mars (2006), but for me it's best to undercut it. Show less «

Jo [Doctor Who (1963)] was very endearing. Gutsy, fiercely loyal. I liked the fact she offered her life constantly for the Doctor's because she realised his work was so important. Show less «

I've been a naughty girl. I think I've been about as naughty as you can get.

I lose things all the time. I once left my mother's ashes at a bus stop!

[on Doctor Who: The Dæmons: Episode One (1971)] I suppose it was quite frightening for children. You had churches being blown up, the villain posing as a kindly vicar and me, the hapless heroine nearly being sacrificed to 'the devil'. It didn't go down too well with people of the cloth.

[criticising Doctor Who: Genesis of the Daleks: Part One (1975), which is consistently voted one of the most popular serials from the original run of Doctor Who (1963)] The moment I saw Davros in the '70s, looking like everybody on the Tube round about six o'clock at night with their headphones on, it took away the menace of something that isn't human. Because suddenly it's half a bloke in there. There's nothing human about a Dalek. Show less «

The sad thing is when people were going on, getting frightfully angry about it coming off, and poor Michael Grade, you know, was being attacked from every area, I think he was actually doing the right thing. I think he did exactly the right thing. He put it to bed for a while and I think the rest is history. It is now huge again and, I don't know about everybody else, but I'm thrilled. Show less «
