Notes
"I'm old, but I'm not too old to work. There's a sign on the bottom of my bed that says: 'Don't stop doing things cos you're growing old, cos you'll only grow old when you stop doing things.' One of the reasons I've been able to keep working has been Alan [director Alan Bell]. There are some filming days when I'm in a lot of pain with my arthritis, but you don't come out of the caravan and start going on about it. Alan will just know if I'm not well and do what he can to accommodate me. He's very considerate, any of the crew will tell you that." - Hird Guardian Newspapers Limited 12/09/01
