Music
Jazz is a passion and Dexter Gordon is my idol
Movies
I love films, especially old films with Cary Grant in them and films by Hitchcock, Powell and Pressburger, Goddard, Truffaut and Fellini - My favourite modern films are by Ken Loach, Ang Lee, Merchant Ivory, Woody Allen, Mike Leigh, Anthony Minghella, Richard Eyre, John Maddon, Neil Jordan, Stephen Frears, Jean-Pierre Jeunet, Krzysztof Kieslowski, Pedro Almadovar, Giuseppe Tornatore, Roberto Benigni and George Clooney to name but a few !!!!
Sweeney Todd – Trailer 1 .. Add to My Profile | More Videos
Television
Documentaries and good one off plays and historical drama and adaptations of classic lit.
Loving Sense and Sensibility -
The Office is a huge favourite and I also enjoy well made but less worthy stuff like SATC, Lost and Ugly Betty !!!
I cannot resist reality TV - I do not recommend 24/7 BB as it takes over your life

Books
I am a big Jane Austen fan and read her six major works at least once a year ... Right now Persuasion is my favourite
Heroes
Robert Owen, Keir Hardy, Clement Atlee, Aneurin Bevan, Tony Benn, Barbara Castle, Dennis Skinner, Michael Foot. Neil Kinnock. John Smith, Tony Blair and Gordon Brown. Plus
all the ordinary men and women who have worked hard in the Labour Movement and have kept the faith through all the good and bad times - and are now working for a fourth term in office ... Go Gordon !!! My biggest hero is
John Albert Doughty aka Jack for loving me and teaching me all the good stuff about life
About me: I am an Executive Producer in Educational TV and run my own TV Production Company.
I have been happily divorced for 24 years - men come and go but don't marry them if you can help it !!!
I have a beautiful, clever and successful daughter who is quite simply the joy of my life.
Who I'd like to meet: I have been very lucky and have met many of my heroes ... see below left (obviously not Keir Hardy even I am not old enough but everyone on my list from Tony Benn to Gordon Brown) I prefer to be in the same space rather than actually having to speak to them as I find one often talks rubbish when one is over excited - I have been in the same room as Nelson Mandela, Bill Clinton, James Stewart, The Beatles and Johnny Depp - I would like to add Freddie Flintoff and George Clooney to that list.
