– What can you tell us about your character, Graeme?
He’s very charming … or is he? He’s a dentist, a Harley Street dentist. He and Dorien met online, he’s very upper class, quite dandy-ish. He was fun to play. Different to me.
Graeme arrives with a matching face mask to his tie and pocket handkerchief. That’s how co-ordinated and dandy he is.
– Have you always been a fan of Birds Of A Feather?
I’ve always been a fan. I’ve always loved (Laurence) Marks’ and (Maurice) Gran’s writing. I was a big fan of Shine On Harvey Moon and The New Statesman, all of those shows they wrote. Birds is the longest-running and the characters are great.
