Favourite sitcom: “Are you Being Served? Is my favourite of all time. There's a YouTube compilation of Mrs Slocomb talking about her pussy. My kids think it's hilarious even though they don't understand.” Photograph: Chris Floyd
Favourite TV comedy: “Curb Your Enthusiasm. I like to go to bed and watch Larry. I'm also a massive Mr Bean fan.” Photograph: Chris Floyd

Favourite TV pairing: “Sofia Helin and Kim Bodnia as Saga and Martin in The Bridge.” Photograph: Chris Floyd
TV hero: “Lena Dunham. Watching Girls has been life changing. It speaks to me in a profound way. I'm shocked by how shocked I am by it. For a woman to create a show and put her flaws at the centre of it makes her my hero.” Photograph: Chris Floyd
Best TV pairing: “As performers Morecombe and Wise. As presenters Richard and Judy.” Photograph: Chris Floyd
TV show you'd bring back: “Auf Widersehen, Pet. I was obsessed with the idea that I wanted to be in it as Jimmy Nail's illegitimate daughter. I love doing the Geordie accent.” Photograph: Chris Floyd

TV crush: “Sean Bean in Sharpe. Watching him was an awakening for me.” Photograph: Chris Floyd
Favourite childhood TV: “Neighbours. When we were 11, my friend and I recorded a Neighbours rap that we'd made up. I sang it at his wedding: 'At 5.35 I start to relax, finish my homework, close my Filofax…' I didn't have a Filofax.” Photograph: Chris Floyd
TV idol: “Angela Rippon. She's blazed a trail and she's a fantastic, intelligent and powerful woman.” Photograph: Chris Floyd
Best documentary: “Rory Stewart's Border Country was excellent. It was in depth, made by someone who knew his subject backwards, and beautifully put together.” Photograph: Chris Floyd
TV crush: “Mr Mitchell, the head in Educating Yorkshire, and Lion-O in Thundercats.” Photograph: Chris Floyd
