PHILIP GLENISTER IS TALKING TO HIS AGENT
GLENISTER
Bloody hell am I glad, that bloody Ashes to Ashes is over. What you got for me next? And no more bloody, David Bowie themed, time travel, is it a coma, cop drama, capiche?
AGENT
No problem Philip. How about this it's set in the 1920s, you play a gruff police officer supporting a woman police officer who wants the vote. She's travelled in time from the year 2008.
GLENISTER
Is it called Suffragette City? Piss off.
AGENT
Ok no go. How about this its set in the golden age of steam, you play a gruff transport cop.
GLENISTER
Ok stop there, Station to Station, I'm going to boot your arse in a moment.
AGENT
Ok how about this, it's a little off the wall. You play a very important, male cat, who also happens to be a gruff....
GLENISTER
Very important male cat? It's Major Tom isn't it? Right I'm off.
SOUND OF DOOR SLAMMING. AGENT PICKS UP PHONE.
AGENT

I've got a fab new role for him, no you won't play the time lord again....
You'll play a Cambodian, whose just completed his doctorate....
