How do you face the challenge of being this year’s Bafta host? practicalpanic
I am not currently feeling challenged because all the tasks are clearly outlined for me and I do not feel pressured to win any awards. If this were the opening night of a play, I would be filled with anxiety. However, the fact that this is not my full-time job gives me a sense of freedom. As to why I was chosen for this role, I must have been a low priority on the list. My expectations are minimal and I have nothing to prove. Will I seek advice from previous Bafa hosts Jonathan Ross and Stephen Fry? Perhaps. But for now, I am enjoying the journey with no expectations or pressure.
Do you have any rules regarding your sideburns? It seems like they are correlated to the level of confidence of your characters. DrHugbine
I find that observation quite intriguing, although I do not believe it holds any validity. However, it has sparked my curiosity…
Some possible examples include:
– Fright Night’s Peter Vincent has a long and bushy beard and is a confident vampire slayer.
– The Doctor in Doctor Who has a long and pointy beard, and is known for being charismatic and charming.
– DI Alec Hardy in Broadchurch has a beard, but no sideburns, and is introverted and suspicious.
– Barty Crouch Jr in Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire has no beard or sideburns, and is a complex character who ultimately betrays those around him.
– In Good Omens, Anthony Crowley is a ginger without sideburns, and is known for his stylish appearance, but also tempted Eve (as a snake) in the garden of Eden, making him a bit of a troublesome character.
I doubt you will use that evidence to write a doctoral thesis. It is weak evidence, at best. I grew sideburns for my role in Doctor Who because I was concerned about looking too young for the part, and I thought they made me look more mature. However, I recently had to recreate that look even though I am probably too old for it now. These days, I often have facial hair, so the length of my sideburns is not a concern. The length of my sideburns at the Baftas does not reflect my attitude towards the event.
As a vicar with young kids, I wondered what influence being a son of the manse has had upon your work? RevdAl
It can be difficult to determine the effects your upbringing had on you, as those influences are often intertwined with those of your parents. It was not a strict or religious upbringing, but more of a moral compass.
Can you describe the experience of kissing Michael Sheen in season two of Good Omens? And which of you enjoyed it more? carnies18
Who was the most delighted? It’s safe to assume that Michael was overjoyed. How could he not be? However, it was just another day on the job. Dealing with others’ discomfort was the toughest part. We found it to be quite enjoyable, so everything was fine. He had already brushed his teeth.

Could you see yourself being knighted in order to have a great argument with Sheen on the upcoming season of Staged? Shirls
Returning his OBE suggests that the events discussed in Staged are rooted in real life. We are filming in our own homes, alongside those we share our lives with. However, this is the extent of the show’s connection to reality.
Which role is superior – being a detective, a killer, or a victim of murder? JonnyMorris1973
One of them solves crimes, another one commits them, and the third one becomes a victim of a crime. The writer’s preference for a particular character may determine which one is the most enjoyable to portray. However, the actor’s role is ultimately shaped by the scriptwriter. As an actor, I have only played a detective once. As for the most memorable way I have been murdered, I was shot in The Last September. In Macbeth, I die on stage every night, but that’s a spoiler. In Doctor Who, I technically died when I was shot by a galvanic beam in a radiation chamber that overloaded my body with radiation.
Am I as nerdy as the Doctor Who enthusiasts? Absolutely. Being a fan of the classic Doctor Who series myself, I can easily relate to that. I never recall getting into any trouble during my school years. Interestingly, that particular incident has made its way onto Wikipedia. I once wrote an essay on Doctor Who, which was discovered and published by a negative newspaper. However, I didn’t face any consequences for it and actually received a high score.

If Crowley, The Doctor, and Scrooge McDuck were to engage in a physical altercation, who do you think would emerge as the victor? AlistairDionysus
It is likely Scrooge McDuck. He appears to have the ability to withstand any situation. He is much more durable than Crowley or The Doctor, who often find themselves facing destruction. Nothing seems to bother Scrooge McDuck.
You have a lovely singing voice! Would you like to do a musical? Beatrice_Tate, gaityr, laibarra622 and Luigii
I can create a delicious curry, but I have no plans to start a restaurant. Would I participate in the Masked Singer? I am a huge fan of the show. My eight-year-old daughter was extremely thrilled when many believed that I was Ricky Wilson from the Kaiser Chiefs week after week. Unfortunately, she was disappointed when it was revealed that I was not him.

If you were a cheese, what kind would you be? BrianBraddock
I have developed a strong liking for paneer curries. Paneer has a unique texture that is neither hard nor soft, and I enjoy discussing it as it showcases my contemplation on the dish.
What is the most recent item you took from a group? NataliaBCN
I am currently revisiting items that I may have taken without permission. Perhaps this is due to the way I was raised, as mentioned earlier. I have a tendency to take things that do not belong to me. This often leads to feelings of guilt. When a new sonic screwdriver toy was released, someone gave me one, but I gave it away due to my generous nature. However, I now have a small sense of regret.

Your portrayal of serial killer Dennis Nilsen [in ITV’s Des] was truly terrifying. How do you prepare for a role like that? YorkshireExPat
There is a wealth of information available about Dennis Nilsen, and there is even video evidence of him. When preparing for the role, I immersed myself in this material and then tried to connect it to the version of the character presented in the script. It was important to not tell the story from Nilsen’s perspective in our show, Des. It’s difficult to ask audiences to sympathize or comprehend someone like Nilsen. Instead, we wanted to focus on how he managed to get away with his actions and eventually be caught. Hopefully, the audience will be left pondering how someone who is just like any other person could commit such heinous acts without anyone noticing or understanding.
Who would you choose to transform into for a day if given the chance? TopTramp
I wanted to test my wife’s patience to gain a better understanding of her struggles.
