Tom's Q&A

Starsign?

Sagittarius

What was your first job?

I had a Saturday job at Dixons, back
in the days of 35mm camera's and 8mm projectors.

What was the first song you bought?

Sugar Sugar by The Archies... I used
to play it on small plastic handheld record player with the needle fixed in the
lid!

What was your nickname at school?

Hoops

What has been your best radio moment?
Chatting with the Chatty Man... Alan
Carr. He's exactly the same character in real life.

... and the worst?

Back in my Student Radio days I was
deliberately locked outside the studios holding a live microphone. The students
inside wouldn't play any music, so I had to keep talking.... firstly through
the letter box, and then I went to my car and started introducing songs from my
cassette collection.

What are the things that really wind
you up?

Drivers that give no thought to other
road users, and being forced to pay a surcharge in restaurants. What incentive
do they have to serve you well if they are already guaranteed a tip?

Who would you most like to interview?
Tony Blackburn. We could share our
excellent collection of jokes!

Favourite film:

I love classic disaster movies...
such as the Towering Inferno and The Poseidon Adventure.

Favourite TV show as a child:

Pipkins, with Hartley Hare and Pig.

Favourite TV show as an adult:

Doctor Who, though not so keen on the
new Matt Smith. I also love a good Columbo movie (just one more thing...)

Favourite song:

I enjoy any feel good song you can
sing along to.

Favourite food:

Love Chinese and Indian - and it has
to be fish, chips, mushy peas and a curry sauce on a Friday!

Favourite place on the Yorkshire
Coast:

Filey promenade when the sea is
crashing against the defences, and looking down on the harbour while sat on the
grass on Whitby’s West Cliff.

Favourite item of clothing:

My new lightweight ‘hoodie’ jacket...
great if there’s a bit of a chill in the air, and with the hood up it keeps me
ears warm at the Outdoor Theatre!

Favourite holiday destination:

Bodrum in Turkey... a lovely mix of
castles, marina’s and coastline restaurants.
