| My husband and I have got belatedly into Breaking Bad. We’re on the fourth series now. Box sets are a godsend. We do one episode after we’ve got our daughter to sleep. CBeebies is a massive new discovery for me. I would say I enjoy it as much as television aimed at my age group. Mr Tumble is just wonderful; he deserves all the praise he gets. And In The Night Garden, obviously. I can imagine that it would be nice to watch if you were on drugs or something. | |

| Growing up I used to watch Morph. Morph is a timeless show. And something called The Box of Delights. It had beautiful music. It was also things my that parents used to love watching, like Dad’s Army and Only Fools And Horses; a lot of comedies, basically. | Growing up I used to watch Morph. Morph is a timeless show.

| I tell you what I’ve got into – it makes me sound a bit of a fogey – but I absolutely love Upstairs, Downstairs. The original one, I didn’t see the remake. I was watching it yesterday and I thought: ‘Wow, I’d love them to bring this back, or something like this’; something quite still and unfussy in the way it’s filmed. | I tell you what I’ve got into – it makes me sound a bit of a fogey – but I absolutely love Upstairs, Downstairs.

| I do like the odd reality TV show to be honest. My husband and I always watch The X Factor and Strictly or whatever. I watch Britain’s Next Top Model but only when my husband’s not in the house; I love Eurovision and things like that, anything really camp. I liked The Voice but it’s always a bit less interesting after the chair-turning thing. Tom Jones, my God. How is he still so attractive? | I do like the odd reality TV show to be honest.

| I think the trick is to get a really small subject where you can only have a certain number of questions. I’d choose an obscure Greek or Latin poet who had hardly written anything at all. Or failing that, the life and works of Michael Ball. | I think the trick is to get a really small subject where you can only have a certain number of questions.
