One Saturday In 1984, I Walked Into

I Love Mixing With Comedians When I'm Working With Them, But When I'm Not I Don't Feel The Need To Hang Around With Them.

And People Are Intrigued If I Really Am As Grumpy In Real Life. People Feel A Bit Let Down If I'm Laughing Or Smiling.

Mmmm... The Comedy That Matters Is The Comedy You Pull Out Of Thin Air. It's A Bit Like When Something Funny Has Happened And You Try To Explain It To Someone Else And End Up Saying, 'you Had To Be There'.

Well, I Don't Ever Get Excited. I Haven't Been Excited Since I Got A Chopper Bicycle When I Was About 12. Once You Get Older You Realise There's Always A Catch To Everything. So When I Get, Say, A Commission To Make A Tv Show, The Catch Is That You Have To Deliver Something And Then The Sense Of Responsibility Overwhelms The Joy Of The Occasion.

But I Like Going To Church. If You've Been Brought Up In The Church Of England, It Feels Like Visiting An Elderly Relative. And I Think It's Important That Part Of The Kids' Education Is Knowing About The Bible.
