Name:

Alex Brown

Likes:

Tea and sunshine.

Dislikes:

Wasps, winter and liver.

Best Film:

I'd like to say something really arty and high-brow, but instead I'll go for Borat. Is nice - I like!

Best TV show:

'I’m Alan Partridge’. I model my presenting style on him.

Best TV commercial:

Shackleton’s High Seat Chairs.

Best crisps:

Sainsbury’s Taste The Difference Tortilla Chips. They’re soooo nice.

Best place in North Yorkshire:

Too many to choose from, but I'll probably go for Bolton Abbey. The countryside around there is stunning.

Favourite smell:

The smell you get when it rains for the first time after a long, dry spell.

When I was a kid I always wanted to be:

A radio presenter. It was a phase I never grew out of.

Most famous person I’ve ever met:

The Queen – she visited my school, and I demonstrated one of our computers to her, which had just crashed.

I couldn’t live without:

The Internet. How did we ever live without it?

The TV character who’s most like me:

Doctor Jack from Lost – heroic, dynamic and with rugged good looks. Either him or Norris from Coronation Street.

I’ve never laughed so much as when…

…my friend told me he was going on a canal holiday on ‘The Cheshire Ring’. Not sure why I found it so funny, but I laughed solid for about an hour, and nearly fell off my chair at one point. I had been in the sun all day long, and had a bit to drink. That's my excuse.

When I’m not on the radio I can be found…

…at the gym or doing DIY on my house – there’s a lot that needs doing.

If I was an electrical appliance, I would be a…

…teasmade.

If I had one wish, it would be:

Always to be happy and healthy.

Me in three words:

Great, smashing, super.
