A little bit but I wasn’t a massive fan. I did see it quite a bit when I was a kid – I never really got obsessed by it, by the series but I think I’ve said somewhere as a quote that I was more ashamed of being a Doctor Who fan than I was playing gay. Can I just say that I said a million quotes just because I had a million interviews. I’m not ashamed of either.

When I did Queer as Folk it was a nice little in-road into the psyche of an obsessive Doctor Who fan because the writer of Queer as Folk is a massive Doctor Who fan. It’s just fun isn’t it? It’s just fun but as a kid I didn’t watch it that much, I can remember the Daleks of course, ‘Exterminate! Exterminate!’ and I can remember very sinister men trying to do very sinister things to the Doctor. I can remember Tom Baker very very well though, with his big scarf.
