Presenter Melvin Odoom picks his dream viewing…
I’m absolutely obsessed with Game Of
Thrones. I’m becoming a bit of a geek with it – I watched the last episode twice in a row! I don’t get up at 2am to watch, because I do a breakfast show so I’m up at 4:30 anyway – but I do record the two o’clock version and watch it at midday when I get in!
The last comedy that I really enjoyed was Friends From
College on Netflix. It’s an eight-part series about a group of college friends, and one of them is married but having an affair with another girl within the group. I binge-watched it within a week!
I’m a big fan of New Girl, with Zooey Deschanel, I love that
show. I also watch a lot of stand-up, I enjoyed Dave Chappelle’s most recent one on Netflix. I was recently on Would I Lie To You? and I’m a big fan of that. When you’re on panel shows normally you feel like you have to entertain, but on that I was just having fun and playing the game!
I’ve just started watching this American show called The Defiant
Ones. It’s a documentary about Dr Dre and his rise to fame. It’s really interesting and that’s what I chill out with – it’s nice to sit down and watch it on a Sunday!
Doing Strictly Come Dancing was
a massive deal for me. I wish all the contestants this year the best of luck, because it’s one of the best things I’ve ever done, but also one of the hardest. I wanted to learn something new, though, and I got to do it!
