听力原文：W: Welcome to the show, George. M: Thank you ... it's nice to be here. W: Now, you've been an actor for quite a few years. M: Thirty-two. W: Thirty-two years. That seems incredible ... well, what sort of parts do you like playing best? M: Oh, the bad man, I think. W: You don't enjoy being the hero? M: Well, I don't mind being the hero ... but I think I prefer being wicked ... it's more interesting. W: You've been in films, you've been on the stage, you've had several parts on television. There's even an advertisement ... M: Yes, don't let's talk about that ... I've stopped doing advertisements. I hate seeing that... W: ... the crazy milkman ... M: Yes, I only did it because I was between shows. I'd finished making a film, and I was in a new play, which unfortunately closed after only two weeks. W: Do you like working on the stage? M: Oh, yes. If I have a good part in a successful play, I really look forward to going to work. There's nothing like a live audience. They give you so much. W: And television? M: Yes, television can be fun. But, as you know, there's not too much live television. W: We're live ... M: Yes, we're live, but making a play for television is very like making a film. If you mess up your lines, they'll shoot the scene again. On the stage, if you forget your lines, you're on your own ... W: And what about long runs? Have you ever had a really long run in the theatre. M: Yes, I spent three years at the Criterion Theatre in Murder at Midnight. W: I can't help thinking it must be a bit boring to go on, night after night, playing the same part ... M: Yes, but I didn't mind ... there was a marvelous atmosphere ... we had a wonderful cast ... sometimes you're lucky. (20)
