ANTHONY AINLEY: I’m told that I look a little like Roger Delgado, and I think that may have been one of the reasons Barry Letts wanted me to do it. I was lucky enough to play for Barry Letts in ‘Nicholas Nickleby’ with the young Nigel Havers, who was very young and very good. And Barry Letts saw something in me, I think, that not only reminded him of Roger but also embodied evil. I don’t know what it was. I once sat next to a girl in a play and had to say ‘Would you like some tea?’, and I said it and she broke rehearsal and said ‘My God you’re evil!’. I guess it’s something I have.
anyway, to this day this is my favourite doctor who interview
