Growing up as a Brit, Arthur and Merlin and Camelot, and just the idea of it, is embedded in the culture and in your soul, growing up. King Arthur is alongside Robin Hood, as those great British folk tales, myths and icons.

If ever there was a character that was never defined by gender, it's the Doctor. The Doctor is gender fluid in that sense.

I have no issue with my boys looking up to women.

Broadchurch' has always been about the impact of crime, on all those affected.

The mood of the country is set by its leaders and they are failing us by not setting a compassionate moral tone in a complex time.

I think 'Doctor Who' is the greatest idea television has ever had, and our job is to convince the rest of the world.

My goal is always to leave you slightly wanting more.

Born And Bred' is pure escapism, and where we film is one of the most beautiful places in the country.

Doctor Who' is such a broad show. It's got the whole universe to explore.

My embarrassing confession is that my father is a 'Camelot: The Musical' obsessive. So as a child, when we were going to visit relatives on the weekend, whenever we were driving back on these three-hour drives, he would be playing the musical soundtrack on repeat, on the cassette in our car, to the extent that we begged him never to play it again.

The papers feed the public interest but then the public interest demands more in the press and speculation can look like fact.
