**Favourite book. Of all time and recently?**

I was obsessed with Harry Potter as a kid and then as an adult. Recently read a Knight of the Seven Kingdoms by George RR Martin and loved it!

**Favourite film. Of all time and recently?**

My absolute favourite is Ace Ventura, Pet Detective. (Can recite every word!). I recently watched Project Hail Mary, rather brilliant and I was very tearful at the end. Very inspiriting and moving!

**Favourite series. Of all time and recently?**

My favourites would be a tie between The Office, Seinfeld and Eastbound and Down (sucker for a comedy). Might be the same answer as my book but I recently watched…a Knight of the Seven Kingdoms, an amazing rendition of the source material.

**What is the most random thing you’ve ordered online?**

A set of premium tournament-level darts and a carry case. One day I will get a 180 with them, I promise.

A screenshot of a lady dropping her phone in a beer at the World Cup in the States.

Window seat.

**If you could live as someone else for the day, who would it be and why?**

Dan Auerbach, the lead singer of the Black Keys. I would love to play guitar like him.
