Personal Quote:
I'm old enough to remember the very first episode of Doctor Who (1963) ever. I was very scared, I was quite young. They went back to the dawn of man as I remember it, to caveman and Neanderthals. And as it landed, that was the end of the episode. And I remember ... the first time the TV scared me. Patrick Troughton was my favourite 'cos he brought that sense of humour to it. See more »Trivia:
Has narrated numerous Discworld audiobooks, voiced characters in the computer games Discworld II: Mortality Bytes! (1996) and Discworld Noir (1999), played roles in Terry Pratchett's Hogfather (2006) and The Color of Magic (2008) and was also in the audience in Terry Pratchett's Richard Dimbleby Lecture on assisted death.
