( Question and Reply about Steven under cut )
Gwen...
"Frankly, Rhys is very killable, because it would put Gwen through so much dramatically, but eventually you've got to realize what you've got, as a colleague of mine who worked on soap operas used to say 'You don't rape Snow White.' In other words, you shouldn't punish your central characters to the point where they become the walking wounded. It's one of those science fiction format things again, where writers often think that the lead characters are there to be punished, and I think we bordered on that in series one."
Jack...
"He was meant to be Spike from Buffy. Before series one was even cast, I thought the Doctor and Rose might be getting a bit comfortable by episode eight, so I had to get a man on board to shake things up a bit."
Fourth series...
"If there is a fourth series, I don't think we'll be rebuilding the Hub. It won't be business as usual, otherwise Children of Earth might as well never happened."
