Unmissable show?
Top Gear. I’m a car fanatic and like to see what’s coming out next. I think they’ve taken it a little bit too far in terms of the entertainment stuff. I just like it when they do the tests. Their main aim seems to be breaking as many cars and caravans as possible.
Earliest TV memory?
Tiswas. I was scared of the Phantom Flan Flinger. Actually, on holiday this year a lady recreated the Phantom Flan Flinger. It was my mother-in-law’s birthday and I tried to ram her face into a cake. She escaped and then her friend threw a piece of cake into my face.
TV turn off?
I don’t like falseness. I don’t want to give examples but I think you can guess. Anyone who is on TV on a Saturday night who isn’t Ant, Dec or Simon Cowell I would put in that category. Those three are in a realism category; you could have a laugh with them. Everyone else, I’m putting in the other one.
Pitch us a TV show…
Take all the millionaires from Dragons’ Den and get them to pitch to real investors. Crush their dreams for a change. [You know on kids’ TV show] Knightmare when you walk into a room and there’s a fella with a mask on pretending he can’t see you? He’s in there as well. He’s got some kind of Taser, so if they walk on the wrong square they get Tasered as well. Hang on, so the show I want to pitch to you is… I want to take the Dragons’ Den guys out and take all their money off them for a year and see what they did. If they don’t make money the guy from Knightmare Tasers them. Bannatyne’s been out on the streets busking, he’s got £20, so the guy from Knightmare says, “Sorry mate, that not enough,” and Tasers him.
Bottom of the DVR?
Prison Break. I’ve watched the first episode but that’s it. I’ve never gotten into box sets. My mate was like, “I’ve just done a whole series of 24 in a day.” I said, “That’s good. I went out to the park. it was nice and sunny and I had a go on a swing.”
