My comedy is for children from three to 93. You do need a slightly childish sense of humour and if you haven't got that, it's very sad.

What I like doing most is making children laugh.

You see I'm semi-retired now and don't work all the time, only most of it!

I had this wild imagination. I was never me. All my childhood photos, I'm in fancy dress, playing a Russian refuge or Marvelous Mad Madam Mim.

I really like working in television and I like exploring a character over a longer period of time, and I like the consistency of television.

I would've done anything to work with Satyajit Ray.
