BBC: How many a day? WR (looking away in a lovely demure fashion): I'm not telling you, please. I'm not. BBC (silently mouthing to the camera: 'fifty cigarettes a day', then turning back to Wendy): 'Is it fifty?' WR (sort of waves her hand in a self-conscious gesture): 'Well . . .' BBC: 'I asked the other day on the phone and you kind of --- lied.' (they both laugh) 'I'm the same as you, and you said to me: 'Dale, you know, I think I might stop smoking.' WR: 'Well, I will, 'cause they've stopped making my brand now, so when I've run out of my stockpile that I've got at home, I'll probably stop smoking. But then I shall probably be impossible, because I shall be so bad-tempered.' ... Oh, I think so, especially working on EastEnders. You get people come and join the show and they don't smoke -- probably never have smoked -- and within 2 or 3 weeks, you see them in the corner, going . . .'

BBC: 'Now, there's one area which we haven't really covered, and I knew I was wasting my time, 'cause we're both smokers, so I know that to give up the cigarettes is difficult. Have you cut down at all?' WR: 'I have cut down. And I think, eventually, probably some time next year, I will stop.' BBC: 'Oh, really?' WR: 'I think so.'", Eastenders: Fighting Fit (BBC1), Oct. 25, '99
