Not Going Out' is a pretty neutral sitcom - to quote the 'Seinfeld' thing, it's not really about anything.

My kids would say I'm strict, but I don't think I am.

Yes, if I wasn't a happily married man with three children, Emma Bunton would definitely be my hot-tub fantasy date.

I've tried everywhere, but my garden shed is the most effective place to write.

I use Wikipedia and eBay; I look for singles for my 1950s jukebox.

I hate all adverts for alcohol. They're evil. All of them.

I'm a huge fan of stuff like 'Planet Earth' and the American sitcom 'Everybody Loves Raymond.'

When I was little, I used to get a comic - 'Cheeky Weekly' - which was a weekly comic whose main character was Cheeky. I used to get 'Roy of the Rovers,' too.

If I am old-fashioned, it's not a conscious decision. I just do material that I think is funny.

The truth is that I don't really understand the concept of having an old-fashioned sense of humour, because to me fashion is about clothes not comedy.
