I know in Britain with 'Doctor Who' all the classic actors, and the people who you'd really want to, work on the show.

It has raised our game, and I'm just happy for good actors who want to be in sci-fi shows who love the genre.

The great thing about 'Battlestar' was that it was basically 'Star Wars' but once a week, as opposed to waiting for three years for the movie to come out. I was a huge 'Battlestar' fan.

I love 'Made In Chelsea,' and I think it's a great show.
