Fortieth Anniversary of what?

Doctor Who.

Are you expecting some tough verbal sparring with your fellow Doctors?

I'll have to get a good night's kip before. They're all red hot, especially McCoy. You can't get a word in edgeways at the best of times with him.

So it's the 40th anniversary of what, of the first show on BBC. That dates us doesn't it. It was the old man with white hair.

What was your memory of the programme?

Watching William Hartnell. What was them sweets we had as kids? Hacks, those cough sweets. There was a jar of them in the house that we lived in, and on the Hacks jar there was some white haired old guy just about to sneeze and blow his head off, and then suddenly the scary Hacks man turns up in a TARDIS. I liked him, I thought he was the best.
