I love going on BBC6 and BBC7 and listening to documentaries.

I know in Britain with 'Doctor Who' all the classic actors, and the people who you'd really want to, work on the show. I like that the fact that 'Torchwood' has actors that want to be involved from the stage. It has raised our game, and I'm just happy for good actors who want to be in sci-fi shows who love the genre.

I think there comes a time in every persons life where they just need to go to the darkest, most dismal place.

I think it makes a difference when the actors are enjoying it more than anything because we have a real blast on 'Torchwood.'

I always look up to people like Michael Gambon and Tommy Lee Jones, and I hope that as I mature I will become as craggy as them.

I was brought up on Dickens. I remember reading 'Bleak House' but, coming back to it, I didn't remember much about it apart from a few characters.
