We live in an age of instant knowledge. And there's almost a sense of entitlement to that.
I go around the country and do a simple gag like, 'The property ladder is now a snake' and get a real laugh.
I loved doing all those costume dramas. I didn't think, 'Ooh I've got to avoid being typecast' - you can't ever be dictated to by what other people think. I just do things because I fancy the parts and the directors.
