#Quote
1The way they do things in the U.S., if you have a show, you'll option your actors for five, six or seven seasons. In the U.K., we just don't have the financing to be able to do that.
2The bedrock of 'Being Human' has to be characters. I would hope that even if suddenly we had a huge budget per episode, the foundation of the show, and the thing that actually makes it what it is, is character.
3When I've written episodes of 'Doctor Who', when it comes to the monster chasing somebody, it's the Doctor and the companion, running down the corridor, being chased by a guy with a stick and a tennis ball on the end. Whereas, when I see the rushes of 'Being Human', we're actually looking at the werewolf, and it just looks real.
#Fact
1Among around half a dozen actors to have acted in both the black and white era and the 21st Century series of Doctor Who.
2One of the 39 actors that have acted in both the 20thCentury and 21st Century Doctor Who TV Series.
3Has acted in 2 works with the title "Being Human" - the 2009 TV series and Bill Forsyth's 1993 film.
4Turned down the part of Roj Blake in Blake's Seven.
