I usually find that there's a specific moment when watching a new TV show when I can say later, 'that's when I fell in love with this show'.

For example, with Buffy it was when I received a tape of another show from someone and they had left the last half of Lover's Walk on the end of the recording. I was immediately fascinated with Spike's speech about the nature of love and that was me, hooked.

With The Young Riders - my big love just before LNC - it was an early episode in which one of the riders, Ike, is targeted by a gang. Ike decides to leave to avoid putting the rest of the riders in danger but finds them saddling up to go with him. He protests that it's not their problem: "They came for me," and Kid says calmly and matter-of-factly, "Then they came for us." That was it. The moment I fell in love with those guys.

With LNC, I think it was 'don't fall for me' conversation in the pilot.

So...when was the moment you realised you were in love?

Athos: If you'd told us what you were doing, we might have been able to plan this properly.
Aramis: Yes, sorry.
Athos: No, no, by all means, let's keep things suicidal.
