Craig Hurley as The 7th Doctor

Alicia as my co-star was great, she's one of the all time greats and I'm glad I 've worked with her, you don't feel you've worked in the business until you've worked with Aliche...as she's called. Yeah, she was good, like she could remember lines and deliver them without saying - "Yes, that's right." sort of thing. I would work with her again because she does deliver a good Ace, even if she doesn't look like her, her characterisation was spot on.
I was thinking to myself about playing Sylvester McCoy, and I wanted to know how to show him. So I studied him for months - I followed him, sneaked into his house, had a camera in his toilet that sort of thing, but it all built up to show a good representation of Sylv...as I like to call him...can't go near him now because of the restraining order, but I got it down very well, so it was worth it - you hear Sylvester?! - IT WAS WORTH IT!
When I first saw the console I thought - "oooh...that's good isn't it!" Even though it was only half a console as it was the demolished console from episode 3. The fact that it had buttons and lights...and the fact that it was gray, with the pyramid on top, I thought it set it off nicely.
I liked the glamorous locals we used like Canary Wharf, but the only problem was that I had to be in full costume, and not only did I have to wear it while I was there, but I had to wear it at the station, on the train...I had a big coat and it was fun, in a way, but I would prefer not to do it again, in that costume.
Doctor Who - TRIDENT originally came about because me and Chris (Chris Pocock - 5th Doctor) wrote a script about a guy who wanted to take over the world using Canary Wharf, which was pretty much the plot of that one. James (James Copeland - The entity/Mr Ravensworth) took this idea and fleshed it out quite a bit to make it not only entertaining but very confusing at the same time. When I first read through it I thought - "Hang on a minute, what's going on?!" If you've got brains you can work it out, but from my point of view IE - only learning my lines, it was difficult, but I did think that it had potential.
