- Katy Manning: I was told once never to say you couldn't do anything. So when I was asked to abseil down a cliff, I said I could even though I'd never done it before. The only problem was when I got to the bottom, Jon [Pertwee] said, 'Well done, Katy,' instead of 'Well done, Jo,' and I had to do it all over again.

- Katy Manning: I was driving along with a girlfriend once and I saw this beautiful bunch of white flowers alongside the road and I asked her to stop the car. And she's going what? I'm saying, 'It's so beautiful' and she said, 'What? Plastic bags?' Whose eyes would you rather live through: Mine or hers? I saw flowers, she saw plastic bags.

- Katy Manning: (About preparation for her portrayal of Bette Davis) In all those years with Judy [Garland], there was a range of extraordinary characters around and it gave me an insight into this kind of person. I am using Judy and all of them to base this one on.
