  • Quotes
    [on Waking the Dead (2000)] I really loved working with Holly Aird and Claire Goose from the original cast. It was fantastic. We've always had wonderful guest artists as well, such as Dame Eileen Atkins. The fact that all these incredible people wanted to work on the show made me very proud.
