I've just got an exceptional memory, if I say so myself.

My main regret about my years in football was keeping my mouth shut like a little mouse, not daring to speak out because I was told you left the managers to get on with the job and that the chairman must never interfere with the manager's decisions or the performance of his team.

I like things in their proper places.

When I was a kid, a policeman was someone you looked up to and respected.

I've had a wonderful time in 'Foyle's War' and I don't mind being typecast. But I'm not prim. I'm chaotic, happy, and desperate to have some laughs. I'd love to do a comedy next, or something modern.

I've been performing stand-up comedy for ten years, it's what I love and will always do.

Getting into comedy was difficult for my parents to comprehend. I think now they are really proud I stuck to it.

Groupon, as you probably are by now aware, is exactly what it sounds like: a daily-deal site offering group discounts. Maybe you've seen that done before, but certainly not like Groupon, which has executed with an energetic sales force and engaging copywriters, many culled from the Chicago comedy scene.
