He tells me he got into drama school “just as [Margaret] Thatcher was starting to dismantle funding”. “I got into a school that was grant-assisted by the Inner London Education Authority thanks to Ken Livingstone. Salford council at that time provided a discretionary grant, because I have no academic qualifications. I’m not an academic, I’m a creative.” Today, he sighs, acting is becoming “an academic pursuit. You need academic qualifications to get into drama school. It rules out anybody who had a poor or rudimentary education. You’re ruling out the Gary Oldmans. Add to that the price of a trip to the theatre today...” He admits that although he won rave reviews for his turn as Scrooge in the Old Vic’s production of A Christmas Carol this year, “You were talking £150 for some seats. A family could go on a week’s holiday for the cost of watching a two-hour play.” [Read the full interview here](~/AAAHagA~/RgRnjgObP4QHAWh0dHBzOi8vd3d3LmluZGVwZW5kZW50LmNvLnVrL2FydHMtZW50ZXJ0YWlubWVudC90di9mZWF0dXJlcy9jaHJpc3RvcGhlci1lY2NsZXN0b24tdHJ1ZS1kZXRlY3RpdmUtc2V4LXNjZW5lLWpvZGllLWZvc3Rlci1iMjQ4MDk3NS5odG1sP2xpZD1xYnc2cTNiZjY4bGomdXRtX21lZGl1bT1lbWFpbCZ1dG1fc291cmNlPWJyYXplJnV0bV9jYW1wYWlnbj1JbmR5QXJ0cyBOZXdzbGV0dGVyIDIwLTAxLTI0JnV0bV90ZXJtPUlORF9DdWx0dXJlX05ld3NsZXR0ZXJfQ0RQVwVzcGNldUIKZaWbfqtleeTmRFIbdHJpc3RyYW1iYWxkd2luOTBAZ21haWwuY29tWAQAAAMj) [perfect cellar offer](~/AAAHagA~/RgRnjgObP0R_aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuaW5kZXBlbmRlbnQuY28udWsvZXh0cmFzL2luZHliZXN0L2Zvb2QtZHJpbmsvd2luZS9wZXJmZWN0LWNlbGxhci1yZWQtd2luZS1yaW9qYS1kZWFsLWIyNDgwMDYxLmh0bWw_bGlkPXVoNHU5eGJnc3Y4OFcFc3BjZXVCCmWlm36rZXnk5kRSG3RyaXN0cmFtYmFsZHdpbjkwQGdtYWlsLmNvbVgEAAADIw~~) Partial to a glass of vino?
