#Quote
1I love the shots of Boyd walking through London. It's a great performance from Trevor; everyone in fact. I'm really looking forward to it going out to see how it's received. (On the last scene of Waking the Dead (2000))
2I feel robbed. I'm very sad about it. It was a lovely job. The show gets great audiences, it's sold all over the world and I don't quite get why it's going. You'd have to talk to the powers-that-be. They say it's too expensive to make in these austere days. (On the end of Waking the Dead (2000))
3I 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. (On Waking the Dead (2000))
