ON CHARACTER KAREN : ‘She’s the sort of person you might get to like after you’d known her for a couple of weeks, or you might not click with her at all.. certainly I love looking good, I have been known to spend all day getting ready to go out in the evening. But what attracts me to Karen is that I’d have loved to be a doctor in real life.’

ON BEING A DOCTOR : ‘I would like to have trained as a doctor, it’s a completely different way of life from mine. I found I wasn’t squeamish and I watched operations. It was fascinating.’

ON BEING IN CASUALTY : ‘There’s a strange moment that everyone experiences, it comes when you sit in the canteen and see an atrocious head wound opposite you eating curry and chips.’
