- Became a father for the 7th time at age 42 when his 2nd wife Annie gave birth to their daughter Grace Jane Timothy on August 1, 1983.
- Was romantically involved with his co-star Carol Drinkwater during shooting All Creatures Great & Small (1978).
- [on All Creatures Great & Small (1978)] It was a life-changing opportunity for me and I met some wonderful people. The funny thing is that when I watch it now I remember some episodes so clearly and fondly. But I've watched some of the early episodes and don't remember anything about them at all.
- [on All Creatures Great & Small (1978)] It was eight years before I was acting on the box again. I did a lot of theatre, which was fantastic and I'm not complaining. But there comes a time when your profile diminishes and you just don't get offered as much work. I'm sure there are people who think, 'Christopher Timothy, he's died has hasn't he?' Then someone else will reckon they haven't seen me for a while, so I must have done. It only takes a few people to say that and you're ditched.
- [on Robert Hardy] He was good fun and he made us laugh a lot - and quake sometimes, because he didn't suffer fools and he didn't suffer nonsense.
