      Favourite movie: I really enjoy the Theory of Everything (about Stephen Hawking and his wife), and A Beautiful Mind (which is about an American mathematician who won a Nobel Prize for his research), as well as some Disney/Pixar films (Beauty and the Beast, Up), as well as a good romantic film such as Notting Hill or Love Actually. Sorry, that’s six, oops!

      Favourite book: another one which is hard to pick just one….I really enjoyed the last Harry Potter book, I’m currently reading War and Peace (one of the longest novels ever written, and recently a series on the BBC – it’s excellent), and I also love reading stories set in the late 1800s and early part of the last century. I love the story War Horse which has now been a successful stage play (with giant horse puppets), film by Steven Spielberg, as well as a very popular book. It tells the story of the First World War from a horse’s perspective.

      Favourite colour: dark green (or dark red)

      Hmmm difficult to pick one of each.

      Favourite movie – Sliding Doors, which is quite an old film now. It explores the nature of fate and self-determination in which a young woman’s future is affected by a two-second delay, Plus Elf at Christmas time.
      Favourite book – One day by David Nicholls. It is about two people and how their relationship changes over 20 years.
      Favourite col9ur – bright blue
