There was a regretful and probably universally relatable, accessible
piece written for BBC Magazine—though happily I never thought of selling my

It’s quite interesting to think about the challenges that we faced back then in terms of acquisition, planning, composing wish-lists—and readily sharing that encyclopædic knowledge of the cast and crew and correcting others in play when they strayed from character.
