Interview  |  Jon Eccleston
Favourite episode

Picture What is your favourite Rygel episode? Question from OnyxKat.

There are a couple of scenes in nearly every episode I really like, when it all falls into place and you forget it's a puppet. Conversely there is a scene in every show when it doesn't and I have to look away, when the lips don't quite meet on a plosive or the take that works for the editor is the one where Rygel fumbles a prop with his stumpy little fingers.

But during one scene with Anthony [in They've Got A Secret] when D'argo thinks Rygel is Jothee, we were nearly all in tears. Rygel is very still and the camera quite tight and his eyes tell everything.

Again, that was mainly because on screen Anthony could convince you he was making eye contact with the Great Hynerian, when most of the time Rygel was probably looking at his nose.
