A long-time Doctor Who (1963) fan, his first television appearance was on Open Air (1986) in 1986, in which he was part of a group of fans in the studio who were putting their opinions on the 1986 "Trial of a Time Lord" season of Doctor Who (1963) to writers Pip Baker and Jane Baker.
I used to write plays and go along to the theatre to watch them being performed. With Broadchurch (2013), I've got that same kind of fear, and I've never had that with any other TV show.
