He said: "I’m doing all right. It’s a work in progress. We’ve had some hard years but this one’s been… I’ve had 30 lots of chemo, spread over three weeks and then a week off. It’s going the right way."

He also added that doctors anticipate that they may be able to turn the last bit of cancer 'off with radiotherapy'. Dave, added: "So that’s five sessions every other week and then I go film in Scotland for two weeks, then go back on chemo, but that’ll be twice a month."
