- Speculation builds about how well Olivia Colman will succeed Claire Foy as the Queen in the coming third series of The Crown (2016). Ms Colman herself has expressed anxiety on this score. There is no doubt that she is one of the best actresses of the age, but I have a doubt, too. She has a distinctly leftwing face.
- On climate change, I resist what I see as a political viewpoint masquerading as "the science". The aim of the large numbers of alarmists is unprecedented government control and the relative impoverishment of western societies. Cheap energy is one of the greatest emancipations produced by our civilisation.
- [2014, on the BBC] It's a great abortionist of creativity. There's a lot of sort of unborn babies because of the BBC. For effectively always, certainly for a long time, I've been against the licence fee... I wouldn't mind if they completely abolished it.
