ADD QUOTES
- (His reaction shortly after the third series of "The Sarah Jane Adventures" was commissioned) Russell: (It's) an honour and a delight to get a third commission. It's brilliant to see Elisabeth Sladen's Sarah Jane becoming a hero for a whole new generation of kids.
  Edit Share Hide
- (On "The Fabulous Baker Boys" a BBC Wales production for which Russell is a creative consultant) Russell: This is a brilliant and shining idea, and Welsh right down to its bootstraps. I'm delighted to be a small part of it, and can't wait to see what the wonderful minds of Helen (Raynor) and Gary (Owen) have got in store.

- (On trying to sell a television program based on Hazel Tyler a character in Russell's "Queer as Folk") Russell: I once tried to create a spin-off of Queer as Folk with Vince's mother Hazel at the heart of it. At the time, Channel 4 was up in arms that a middle-aged woman would be at the centre of the action, so it never happened. They are idiots. It would have been magnificent.
