"I am going a bit deaf and I am hoping that technology is going to come on leaps and bounds and that ..." — Alexander Armstrong

I would love to think I'd inherited my father's patience. He's a man who achieves a great deal through gentleness.

I love food and wine, they are both passions of mine.

When I'm filming, my fitness levels fall off, but when I'm not, I try to go to the gym a few times a week.

My dad's a doctor. So when we were little, at our family Christmases, we'd always have a couple of his elderly patients over for lunch.
