1) This first question is from my daughter Angharad - if you could become proficient/professional at any sports, which would it be?
Pole vaulting - I rather fancy soaring over that bar way high up!
2) If you were a ghost, who would you haunt and why?
I don’t think I’d bother. I’d rather look ahead to new adventures.
3) What’s the worst book you’ve ever read, movie you’ve ever watched and performance you’ve ever attended?
Book - “Animal’s book of etiquette” (or something like that). A book from the Muppets series that my daughter became obsessed with and had me reading to her every night for weeks. In the end it had to mysteriously disappear!
Film - “The Godfather” - I went to see it when I was too young to cope with the story, the cinema was packed so the only seats left were in the front row, and between Marlon Brando’s mumbling and the distortion of the speakers, I left at half time.
Performance - Macbeth done in Japanese costumes. It was supposed to show the international themes of the play, but it didn’t make a lot of sense having Scottish characters dressed like samurai.
4) Where is your favourite beach and what is it like?
Bayleys Beach, near Dargaville, New Zealand - wide sweeping areas of sand with sandstone cliffs behind that we climbed as children
5) What can we learn about you from what’s hanging on your walls?
That my landlord still hasn’t come by to put my pictures up
And a bonus question
