Way back in the misty past, when I was nobbut but a callow youth applying for a place at drama school, I wrote to Deborah Watling care of the Birmingham Rep theatre. She was appearing in a production of Flare Path by Terence Rattigan, and I requested an interview, ostensibly for a sci-fi fanzine called Temporal Physics. Deborah agreed without hesitation, and so on Tuesday 27 March 1990 I went along to meet her, roping in my friend Colin, who took photographs with my camera while I – somewhat tentatively – asked the questions.
