Question Time - Seventh Star

[Alex Me]

A good quality glass of wine when I am home, when I am out vodka and coke.

Apart from Doctor Who, what is your favourite tv show?

[Rob McCow]

Uhhhhhhhhh.... Farscape. Probably still.

Who would you like to 'Shush'?

[Alex Me]

The fox that lives comes in our garden at night and makes loads of strange noises.

Do you enjoy your work?

[SiHart]

Yes. Some days I'm even passionate about my work.

Who would you like to narrate the story of your life?

[Alex Me]

Brian Blessed!

If money was no object, and you could live anywhere in the world, where would it be?

[Anthony Williams]

London, of course!

Are you looking forward to the Doctor Who series finale on Saturday?

[Andrew Curnow]

I am and I'm not. I am, because I hope it'll make sense of the series to date, and hopefully will make me view the rest of season 6 in a more favourable light. And I'm not, because I fear it'll be more of the same, and I won't enjoy it.

UNIT or Torchwood?

[Anthony Williams]

Oh, Torchwood. They're at least more entertaining than UNIT. A lot more thinking outside the box!

Do you listen to Big Finish's range of Doctor Who audios at all?

[Richard Brinck-Johnsen]

Hell yes, love them and love Bernice Summerfield and most of the other spin-offs as well

Would you listen to an ongoing full cast Torchwood audio series if there was one (bearing in mind there have already been several well received BBC Radio 4 plays and audiobooks)?

[Rob McCow]

Never, never, never!

OK, Torchwood are on The Crystal Maze, this is the team with Owen, Gwen, Ianto, Jack and Tosh, plus Martha to bump up the numbers. They've got to the Crystal Dome with only six crystals, giving them 30 seconds of time, but Ianto and Tosh are locked in. It costs 5 seconds of time if you use a crystal to buy them out so they can play The Crystal Dome paper collection game. The question is - if you were team captain would you use any of your crystals to buy them out?

[Richard Brinck-Johnsen]

Is it horrible to say I'd only buy back Ianto.

Anyway my actual question is are you sad that Doctor Who Confidential has been axed?!

[Dirk Gently]

I didn't know it had.

When was this announced?

[Richard Brinck-Johnsen]

It was announced on twitter by its producer this morning and subsequently confirmed and reported elsewhere. I only found out around lunchtime.

So if I can be forgiven a repetition - will you miss it?

[SiHart]

Yes. I know it's popular these days or even essential probably, but it's been part of the whole Doctor Who watching thing since the show came back in 2005 and I'll miss it. When it was good it was unbeatable.

Same again...

[Dirk Gently]

Absolutely. It's part of my Saturday evening line up.

Was it budget or lack of viewers do you think that made them drop it?

[Anthony Williams]

Probably a combination of both!

Are you surprised that people elsewhere are blaming Tory cutbacks for it being axed?

[SiHart]

No. If you don't increase the licence fee, then cutbacks have to be made, therefore, in some ways the tories are to blame (and they hate the BBC anyway!)

Are you politically biased?

[Anthony Williams]

Me? Of course I am!

Is there anyone who isn't?

[Dirk Gently]

Me.


Same question

[Richard Brinck-Johnsen]

Not me. I fail to see how anyone can avoid showing some level of political bias in certain situations.

Moving on... have you ever worked for someone you just don't get on with, no matter how hard you try to like and respect them?

[Anthony Williams]

Yes, my last manager at Waterstone's, who was a right prat - managed to alienate every single member of staff in the store.

Do you have any pets? If so, what?

[duncan]

Two cats called Sparkle and Alfie. Sparkle was a stray and we found her on bonfire night about 9 years ago hence her name. Alfie is three years old and thinks he's a dog! By that I don't mean he goes Woof. When he is out at night and we are going to bed, we open up the door and call him once and within a few seconds he comes trotting home. Also, Alison trained him to offer his paw when being given a treat. It's fun to see and I'll post a video of it on youtube someday.

Sweet or savoury?

[Rob McCow]

I'm over 30, so savoury.

What can I do to block out the noise of demolition from over the road?

[SiHart]

Plug in your headphones and ignore everyone in the office and the demolition.

Would you like to act in a forthcoming PS Audio adventure?

[duncan]

As I don't listen to them it would be unfair of me to volunteer, so, no.

What was the last thing you watched at a Theatre?
