Which newspaper do you read? The Independent.
How often do you go to London and Brighton? Three or more times a week for filming. The studio is in Wandsworth but this week was great filming Saturday Kitchen in Lewes High Street - look out for it this Saturday morning on BBC1 (22nd).
Are you pro or anti the Phoenix development? Don’t know enough to say but the vibe is distinctly anti.
Favourite Lewes landmark? I love the War Memorial and the Harveys Brewery but currently the Heart of Reeds wins my vote. Have you seen the colourful plant diversity down there? And the baby cygnets? Fantastic.
How would you spend a perfect Sunday afternoon? Either gardening or a long walk with my border terrier Barney followed by an afternoon at The Jolly Sportsmen with Sophie and Ruby (wife and daughter).
What’s on your hifi? Wolfmother. They fuckin’ rock.
Lewes would be better if… the A27 was resurfaced with quieter tarmac and if they erected soundboarding on either side of it. Also can my neighbours please get rid of their infernal windchimes. Three sets is excessive.
What Lewes really doesn’t need is… Generic chain stores and the hooting zombies who waft through them wagging the tails that they don’t even have. That and more windchimes.
