Where are you from?

I was born in Croydon, and spent most of my childhood in a small village in the south east of England near Brighton.

What’s your favourite Spanish food?

Probably seafood paella, but I could happily live on a diet of gildas and Idiazabal cheese.

What’s your favourite book? 

It has to be ´The Midnight Circus’ by Erin Morgenstern. It’s about a black and white traveling circus that only opens at midnight and appears without warning.

In the circus two young illusionists are locked in a lifelong competition using their magic in a game which only one can win.

Definitely Star Wars, Episode IV A New Hope (the first one ever).

Then later on Practical Magic.

The Space Sentinels and the Tomorrow People, and I always used to watch Rainbow, I loved Zippy.

All the world’s a stage, and all the men and women merely players
