And then you'd meet some nice person.

My dad would probably know somebody who was at school with or something.

Denmark's quite a small country.

And they would take the film home.

So a story would take maybe three days from shooting to appearing on the television.

And nobody was in a great hurry.

Nobody was racing to get the news.

It wasn't like last minute, oh, this has happened and that's happened.

And my dad always referred to it as edited reality, that he wanted in his, whatever the broadcast was going to be, three minutes or whatever, to make sure that it was the truth about what he had done.

It just took a bit longer.

It was a little bit more thoughtful.

And I think that's probably not a bad thing.

I loved it.

I'm still excited when I arrive anywhere.

I have a real sense of the potential of anywhere new.

And what I learned from my dad is that everywhere in the world has something to commend it.

You just need to go and find it.

So all I see is possibility when I go anywhere.

And I think I felt that when we arrived in New York, just the smell of it and the steam rising up from the subway in the street.

And there's something magical.
