The Writer In Movies Is About As

An Adaptation I Was Working On Of Trollope's 'the Pallisers' Has Been Axed By The Bbc... I Was Also Going To Do Dickens' 'dombey And Son' But They've Asked Me To Do 'david Copperfield' Instead.

I Had A Mother Who Was Very Emotionally Demanding, Wanting To Be The Centre Of Attention. As They Say In Eastenders, She Thought It Was All About 'er. I Spent A Lot Of Time Trying To Work Out What Was Going On.

I Prefer Love Scenes To Be Shot Up Close With A Lot Of Focus On Eyes And Mouths. Otherwise It Can Feel Uncomfortable And Voyeuristic.

Most Actors Hate Readthroughs - They're Exposing Themselves Before They're Ready To, And Before They've Bonded. But I Love Them Because They Give Us All The First Inkling Of What The Whole Show Is Going To Be Like, How Each Part Affects Every Other Part, And We Won't See That Again Until It's All Edited Together.

My Wife Likes History And Documentaries, But I'm Not So Keen On Them. I Generally Go And Do Some Work If There's One Of Those On.
