How did you cope with delivering some of the lines?

I just remember how when I used to turn over a page of a new script and see that I�d got a speech about dilithium crystals or some kind of communication, my spirits used to sink.

A music hall comic in England who told me that one of the things that all stand up comics used to do was to write their lines on the insides of their fingers like this, because that�s the part the audience never see. So you can do this and you can just read these things, and several times some of that stuff I actually wrote on the inside of my fingers and I read it in� simply because I couldn�t remember it.

Do you have a favourite technical line?

Yes. I always loved saying, space time condominium. � Space time continuum, yes sorry. Well you see the problems that are raised you know when you have to deal with this kind of dialogue.
