I had to learn how to ride an old 60s motorboke, a Manx Norton ... It's a racing bike, so your body is really quite flat to the machine. But it's a genuine bike so you have to kick-start it. ... Although I have to drive at speed, I haven't managed to quite get out of first gear yet. (Radio Times, "The Gently touch", April 7-13, 2007)

Ricky's from Durham, and there are so many North East accents ... I was lucky, though, because the last job I did was The Vicar of Dibley and one of the drivers was from Durham. When I heard him speak, I dug out a tape recorder and said, "Excuse me, mate, but could you record these lines for me?" (Radio Times, "The inside story', April 7-13, 2007)
