I’ve been watching White House Farm, which I think is brilliant. Although it’s a famous case, I don’t really know much about it. I love crime dramas anyway, but when they’re based on a true event – and something as horrific as that – it’s interesting to see how it all unfolds. I’m desperate to read up on it a bit more, but I want it to remain a mystery to me until the series finishes!
I absolutely love The Two Ronnies. When I was a kid, I’d record it on tape and transcribe the scenes! I even tried to write my own version of their Mastermind sketch using more modern references to see if I could work out how to do it.
The most affecting film I’ve seen recently is Ken Loach’s Sorry We Missed You. I’d been to see it by myself, and when I came out I was like, “I need to talk about it!” There was a man coming out at the same time as me who made the passing comment, “Welcome to modern Britain” – we ended up going for a coffee and chatting about the film for two hours!
The Netflix programme Living With Yourself, with Paul Rudd, was another one I liked. It’s one of those where you watch the first episode and think, “I can see where the plot’s going” – then they drop a massive bombshell. It really did pull the rug out from under me!
Inside No 9 and Doctor Who are my big go-to shows. My two goals are to work with any of the League Of Gentlemen guys, or to be in Doctor Who in some form, because I’ve been such a massive fan for ages!
