“For some reason, I got really obsessed with Samuel Pepys and his diari...” — Daniel Rigby Quote

For some reason, I got really obsessed with Samuel Pepys and his diaries when I read them, and with that period. I was probably a man with a wig and a frock coat in a past life!

It's a total thrill to be helping to bring the Teletubbies back to life.

'Teletubbies' is a national institution, and it was a privilege to be asked to be their voice. It feels super surreal, but it does feel wonderful.

I think I might have exaggerated some abilities in the past. Practical abilities for acting jobs you sometimes have on your CV - I have definitely exaggerated in meetings to get a job and then not been up to scratch on the day.

I finish off my manicure with Dior's Gel Coat, which has a thicker consistency than most top coats. It dries quickly and leaves your nails really shiny.

To me, it feels like 'The Doctor' has to have a long coat, and that's something imprinted on me from childhood, because he always did. And there's something heroic in a flapping coat, but at the same time, I need to get rid of it sometimes and just be a scrawny guy in a suit that doesn't quite fit.

I'm told that as a child, when my dad was alive, I'd get up, put on my coat and go sit in the back of his car. The driver would just go around the neighborhood - as long as I had my little trip, I was happy.

I like glasses so I can go out without my makeup. Just grab your coat and get your hat and go.
