Does anybody have to hand, or can they point me in the right direction to find, a few quotes that I'm after. I know the gist but I'm trying to locate the exact wording:

1. Tom's comments that "Doctor Who is watched on several different levels in the average household" - I think it was recorded, but not used, for Whose Doctor Who, and was then used at the start of 30 Years in the TARDIS.

2. Colin B's comment on, I think, the Colin Baker Years tape along the lines that somebody justified his departure by saying "we think the optimum time for a Doctor is three years".

3. Verity Lambert talking about her casting of William Hartnell - she says that she was drawn to the contrast of his performances in The Army Game and This Sporting Life.

Thanks!

I'm sure 1 and 3 are on 30 Years in the TARDIS ( or More Than....). In fact 2 might be as well.

Or 2 and 3 might be on that Story of Doctor Who documentary from a few years ago.

1. was from the Nationwide 15th anniversary interview, but is available on botht he Key To Time DVD and 30 Years in the TARDIS.

I put the start of the first quote into google and I got a web article by someone called Andrew Curnow!

Si.

Hah! What does he know, the old hack!

But I have in fact found the complete text of the first 1 on (of all places) IMDB (along with another quote from Tom that I hadn't heard before, referring to Talons: "The BBC is very good at period drama but not very good at giant rats.")
