Paddy is amazingly ethical and sweet. He has a notion of good man and …

Call me prissy Pat. A lot of old horse is being written about my attitude toward TV, but it can be summed up in a few simple words. I see TV as the third parent. It doesn't give you bulging muscles to say a four-letter word. The love life planned for John Drake would have made me some sort of sexual crank. Every week a different girl? Served up piping hot for tea? With the children and grannies watching?

If people in Hollywood want to get divorced, married, divorced, married, that's their business. Their problem. I have no problems like that.

When we started Danger Man the producer wanted me to carry a gun and to have an affair with a different girl each week. I refused. I am not against romance on television, but sex is the antithesis of romance. Television is a gargantuan master that all sorts of people watch at all sorts of time, and it has a moral obligation towards its audience.
