Anneke: (How Doctor Who still is a part of her daily life) I had no idea when I played Polly that it would go on like this and become so much part of my life. But I am still getting wonderful fan letters after 40 years and I'm sure it will be the same for Billie Piper. That's the magic of Doctor Who.

Anneke: (About the difference there is between men and women and how women have achieved a lot since the days she started to work) When I first started working I had to get a passport and a bank account and neither of those things could I have without a male signature. We've come a long way, but it's not about being equal with men, we're different from men. And the point is to know and love and appreciate yourself and each other.

Anneke: (On the job she is most proud to have accomplished) I drove a fully loaded truck across the Rockies in the middle of winter. It was a job and I drove from Calgary across The Rockies down into Vancouver and it took me four days to do and it was a very brave thing. It was completely icy and I got through without a scrape. That's completely out of character and when I got there I had people taking photographs of me leaning out of the truck. I was very proud of that.
