Clive Swift

Clive Swift (born 9th February 1936) played Bayldon Copper in Voyage of the Damned and Jobel in Revelation of the Daleks. He is best known for his role as Richard, long-suffering husband of Hyacinthe Bucket, in the popular BBC comedy Keeping Up Appearances. Swift also played Sir Hector, Arthur's adopted father, in John Boorman's 1981 film Excalibur.

Doctor Who Magazine contributor Benjamin Cook interviewed Swift about Mr. Copper and Voyage of the Damned for DWM 391. During the course of the interview Swift questioned Cook's journalism credentials, dismissed questions, and commented on not being paid to participate. Swift cut off Cook's final question with the remark that "I know that you all think that this is a big world, this Who business. But it isn't. There are much bigger things than this." When Cook replied, "Maybe, but it means a lot to a great many of us," Swift terminated the interview.[
