How do you find doing Doctor Who on audio as opposed to on screen?
To be honest the film now is like a brief mad memory of some crazy holiday. It just seemed to be over so quickly and there wasn't a lot of control. I just did what I was told and stood there and tried to survive. Doing these is a bit more satisfying.
I get the impression that even this version, Douglas Adams's story, is slightly tailored to suit me, whereas the film, obviously that was brand new and they didn't know what was happening anyway or what I was going to do, so that was trickier. In a sense I was trying to fit in with what they were about.
But doing the radio stuff is fun, not least because they can't see you. You can be as big, and as bold, and as angry, or as different as you want. I like radio work, I like voice work a lot.
