My first memory of Doctor Who is not actually the telly programme but the cover of one of the annuals. It was a Jon Pertwee one with lots of scientific equipment on the front, which looks really like the cover of a Who compilation album that came out in the late ‘70s as well.

Did the Doctor used to scare you in the early days?

Yeah obviously. And still a bit today actually. When I was in there [recording], there was a scene where this guy who’s a double agent, he’d double crossed the Doctor and tried to get it together with the Cybermen, gets made into a Cyberman. It unsettled me.

I’m not sure whether it was the actual scene that I was in today [that did it] or whether it was kind of a memory of how scary that would have been when I was a kid.
