Job with VEE-TV: Researcher/dogsbody
Star sign: Virgo. Don't believe in star signs at all, and yet I always
read my horoscope!
Marital status: That's private! OK, I'm single and looking
… (too much info?).
School attended: Chipping Norton School (in the middle of the
idyllic Oxfordshire countryside, a million miles from London's busy city streets,
cough cough!)
Life motto: 'Life's short. Live it!'
Favourite films: Ummm ... got a few. The Godfather
(parts 1 and 2), Amelie, Ikiru, Koyaanisqatsi, Taxi Driver
…
Which single object could you not live without?
My little black book (in which most of the names of the production staff reside!)
… No, really, it's an ideas book. I reckon if I lost it, it would be like
Bob Monkhouse losing his joke books a few years back … or maybe not!
Who would you choose to star in your life story?
I'm a big Al Pacino fan, but he'd be miscast if he played me. Ricky Gervais?
Only kidding. How about Brad Pitt? He might have to put on a few pounds first
though!
If E.T. knocked on your door, holding up a peace sign, and asked to use your
phone, what would you do?
I'd try and teach him to use more than just his glowing index finger as a form
of extra-terrestrial sign language. Then I'd introduce him to the vagaries of
typetalk. As a sociological experiment.
What is the best thing about VEE-TV for you?
It's not only for deaf people, but deaf people of my age group – and it's
funky, energetic, a whole ball of fun!
If you could make a film about anything for VEE-TV, what would it be?
I've had an idea in my little black book for some time about a suicidal guy
who tries to break out of his monotonous factory-worker life. That's probably
not suitable for transmission at 8.30 on a Sunday morning. It would probably
last a bit too long, too.
What is your long-term aim?
There are a lot of things I'm interested in: film, photography, writing. I'd
love to make my own movie, curate my own photography exhibition and get a book
published. But I'd probably need more than one life to be able to achieve all
those things.
