What's been your favourite product launch in the last 12 months?I suppose I should say something like 'Final Cut Studio 2' or something, but in reality it's probably been DJ Hero!
Are you heavily booked up for the next 6 months?
I hope so, some interesting things on the horizon.
What was your first Job?
My first real job was stacking shelves at ASDA, which wasn't much fun.
Top tip for newcomers in the industry…
Get stuck in and try your hand at everything - you might find out some hidden talents. Don't be afraid of asking questions, either.
3D TV, yes or no?
I'd say no, seems like a bit of a silly fad to me. But then again, I have poor depth perception anyway, so I'm probably not the best judge.
What do you enjoy most about your job?
The team here at BBC Switch are hands-down the most amazing group of people I've had the pleasure of working with. Every day is a pleasure; it's like getting to hang out with my mates all day long.
Who would you do a fly on the wall documentary on?
Boris Johnson - I want to know if it's all a clever façade to win votes, or if he's *really* that daft.
Toughest job you've worked on?
One of the most emotionally draining was probably 'Britain's Deadliest Addictions' - very heavy stuff! It was tough to do, but really worth it.
Old TV series you would resurrect?
I don't think I'd really want to re-make something old; I'd much rather be making fresh, new stuff.
Describe your partner or pet in 3 words…
my favourite thing"
If you could have any super power, which would it be?
Invisibility would be cool, but then again so would time travel, or the power to stop time. Or perhaps just the ability to make a decision?!
Favourite advertisement of all time?
The Honda Accord 'Cog' advert - it's a great concept, and done in such a way that you just can't help but wonder how long it took them to film (four days, apparently!).
