Chris: (On the UK version of Law & Order and the tone it will have before its launch) The series will very much take American storylines and anglicise them. Obviously not all of the storylines will work for a UK audience, but we have been able to draw a lot from what has already worked; Our show will be very faithful to the US version in that respect, and in its style and tone. It is an urban show, very modern and of the streets. It is quite gritty. Viewers should prepare themselves for classic Law and Order drama with a modern, gritty, British twist.

Chris: (On developing HTML Help) I've got a great writing team on board. I got my first choice writers, first choice producers, first choice designers... it's very exciting. We've been over to the States and met with Dick Wolf a couple of times. I've seen how they make the show over there, and their production team are so phenomenally excited that there's a British version being done. They've been so fantastically helpful. It's a very exciting project to be part of.

Chris: (About his first memory) My first memory is, literally, of Doctor Who, of The Sea Devils, and I checked back – and I can't have been more than two, or three at most, when that was on. How can I possibly remember them, coming out of the sea? But the show was always on in our house, so it just kind of got into me, in the way that the show does.
