Did it ever bug you that Rory had an amazingly frequent habit of 'dying' and getting better? Did you ever say to the writers 'oh no not again'?

I was just waiting for the episode where Rory is lying there dead again...

Amy: Can't we do something? Doctor: Don't worry. Deux Ex Machina is just around the corner!

Do you remember understanding all the humour of Little Miss Sunshine when you were filming it?

Kudos for coming back and answering this. While some people seem to think the company thing is a surefire sign of tax avoidance, I work with quite a few freelances and forming a company like this is quite normal, even if there is only one person involved. Much easier with transparency and contracts.

I think the case with your daughter, while 'tax avoidance' in the technical sense, is so commonplace and normal practice that to single you out isn't really fair. The questions here show how difficult being in the public eye is, especially when you report on dodgy politicians - everything you do yourself is reported on. What you do here is not much different from a tax point of view to buying shares for your daughter in a different company, instead of for yourself and giving her the money later. Is it really tax avoidance? Maybe by the letter, but then everyone who invests money for their children is guilty.

We can have moral arguments about the way the tax system should allow this sort of thing, but there are bigger (and far dodgier) fish to fry than Jeremy.

In the last 10 years we've had smartphones, tablets and an explosion in internet use. What do you see being the next 'big thing'?
