Phoenix Nights, I was lucky enough to co-write with Pete and Dave.

0:11:450:11:49

I'm sorry to remind you of this fact

0:14:530:14:57

What on earth made you think

0:14:570:14:58

you could make maths entertainment?

0:14:580:15:02

It was just what I wanted to do.

0:15:020:15:04

I was writing with Play Away then

0:15:040:15:06

and I was writing almost all the comedy.

0:15:060:15:09

They said, "If you had your own series, what would you do?"

I was more comfortable there.

0:15:420:15:43

You started it and it ended with you.

0:15:430:15:46

It was your whole... Well, it was your television life.

0:19:100:19:14

When I was a kid, I had a radio about as big as a sardine can.

0:19:140:19:18

In the dead of night, I used to sit in my bed

0:19:180:19:20

with the blankets all the way over my head like this

0:19:200:19:23

and scroll across the dial looking for John Peel's programme.

0:19:230:19:27

I guess Peel always stood at a kind of gateway

0:19:270:19:30

to an alternate universe for me.

0:19:300:19:32

Is it true to say

0:19:320:19:33

that it's relatively easy to be a generalist pop DJ,

0:19:330:19:37

but if you've got to specialise, as you've done,

0:19:370:19:40

you've got to get it right because you'll be sussed out otherwise

0:19:400:19:43

by those people who really know, the real enthusiasts, is that fair?

0:19:430:19:46

Yes. I think that's fair.

0:19:460:19:48

It's a really delicate specialist subject

0:19:480:19:50

and you kind of have to be on top of your game, really.

0:19:500:19:53

But I'm lucky because I'm supported by an absolutely incredible team.

0:19:530:19:56

I think when you get that chemistry right,

0:19:560:19:58

you can create a kind of real magic, I hope,

0:19:580:20:01

that resonates with an audience on a global level, really.

0:20:010:20:05

Well, you've done very well at it.

0:20:050:20:07
