Books:
Anything to do with Doctor Who or Douglas Adams. And I have now read ALL SEVEN Harry Potter books. I also like reading about music and TV history. PS I wanna read that new James Bond book that's out!
Heroes:
Batman - because he's not a complete show-off with special powers (unlike Superman!); Doctor Who, James Bond, Harry Potter and DCI Gene Hunt - they completely define the term 'British Superheroes'; John Peel and Tony Wilson - because it's up to us now to keep their legacy and spirit alive; Nigella Lawson - a true rebel; Gok Wan and The Stig - because I want their jobs; Charlie Brooker - a man too good for the job of BBC Director-General or head of ITV; and Adam Ant - because he just is!FEATURED HERO: DCI Gene Hunt
