" By the end of 1973 I was in two minds. I wanted to carry on as the Doctor but was scared I'd be typecast. Likewise the wages were a bit poor so I spoke to Barry (Letts) and told him I'd be willing to stay for another series if they paid me a bit more.

When Barry told me what the future plans for the show were I decided to leave in 1974. I said, "Barry there is no way I can do that"
