In every area, we seem to have thrown everything away and embraced reality television. It's nauseating, programme after programme.
I've chosen not to go to Sky or ITV because the programmes I've made at the BBC, I want to carry on making.
Every season something happens so I programme that in; something will happen.
I have absolutely no doubt at all that we will find evidence of weapons of mass destruction programmes.
The only work I ever turned down was a cable programme called Diving for Excrement.
I never think of the time I have lost. I just carry out a programme because it's there. It's mapped out for me.
