"I just do it. It's like asking a painter about painting. They dip the brush and put it on the canvas. All I know is that if something isn't brilliant, there's no reason that you can't deliver it to the best of your ability."

The latter co-starred David Tennant, and the duo were reunited in 2008 for a two-part Doctor Who adventure. Other projects include the Woody Allen film Match Point, Lassie, Psychoville, and Benidorm.
Quote:
On his favourite League of Gentlemen character: "I miss Pauline from the job centre the most. It was scary when I put on the costume and the wig and the lips. It was like being possessed."
