In the beginning Pascalle was sort of the comic relief character, not too much sort of responsibility I suppose in progressing the stories . . . which was fun and good for me again. because I hadn't done a hell of a lot of comedy, and it turned out I was okay at it . . . then as the years went on I got different sort of storylines, a bit more meat you know, and that was also really good for me....
