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.
