I realised that a television show on political lampoon was one genre that was missing.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
The first half of my TV career, I didn't do any genre at all.
When I was 20, political music was the uncoolest thing on earth.
If it wasn't for what goes on in the world of politics, we wouldn't really have much of a show.
As I became very defined in my personal politics, I turned down some films that I slightly regret now; I'm not going to say what they were.
Certain formats should never be forgotten, 'Blind Date' for instance, because 'Britain's Got Talent' is really 'New Faces' or 'The Gong Show,' whilst we're basically 'Opportunity Knocks.'
During the 'ballad' years for me, the politics was latent; I was just falling in love with the ballads and my boyfriend. And there was the beauty of the songs.
In the late 1940s, there weren't any pop stars, and TV didn't exist.
It's rare to get a really truly wonderfully written, acted and produced sci-fi show, period.
The definition of political cinema is one I don't agree with, because every film, every show, is typically political in nature. Political cinema is simply the brainchild of bad journalists.
Sci-fi and fantasy used to be a TV staple throughout my childhood. Then it just stopped dead. It was seen as culty, a minority interest.
