some clips of other stuff I've got up to over the years away from the desk
POINTLESS
Appeared on the BBC quiz show with chum Paul, answering Qs on cinema, American football
and The Beatles for the jackpot. Raised a laugh by being Shakin' Stevens fans who met at one of his gigs.

WORLD TOUR
With the downturn in full effect in 2009 and work thinner on the ground I decided to head off on a
round-the-world walkabout, visiting 18 countries in 9 months. Highlight reel starting in Tokyo and ending in Sarajevo:
SNOOKER
A big cue-sport fan, have played two top-16 pros I've interviewed, and tend to watch most of the
annual two-week World Championship on BBC, which can be hard to explain to whoever I'm living with.
PERFORMING WITH BAND HOLOGRAMS
One of my other hobbies is dancing with holographic representations of pop bands, on this
occasion at the 2010 launch of Abba World at Earls Court, although this track's a bad choice for my vocal range.
HIP HOP KARAOKE
Unleashed my rap superstar alter-ego onto a few thousand punters at Wilderness Festival in 2016,
performing my favourite hip hop track 'Witness (1 Hope)' by Roots Manuva - witness the shizness!
CAT-FEEDING
Used to have a rescue cat called Muse (below) and a deaf albino called Tilly.
After a few years without one am currently looking to foster or rehome another.
TALKING HEAD
Was asked my views on recently hatched royal baby for a Channel 5 show screened in 2013...
QUEENS PARK RANGERS
Have supported my hometown club QPR for over 25 years, a season ticket for four of those, and
have sat through some proper dross in that time. Will miss our small stadium's atmosphere if we leave though. Filmed this in '07:
BUNGEE JUMPING
During a trip to Zimbabwe in 2014 I thought it a good idea to jump off Victoria Falls Bridge over the croc-infested Zambezi River.

TWIN PEAKS
A huge fan of David Lynch's 90s masterwork, I went on a pilgrimage in 2015 to its filming
locations around Seattle & Washington, recording this vid at the famous Snoqualmie Falls & Double R Diner (full article)

COMMEMORATIVE MUSIC VIDEOS
When the family home in Southall was sold in 2012 after parents finally rusticated, there was only one way to send it off properly...
OTHER MASHUP VIDEOS
Recent hobby: creating new music videos for some of my favourite songs using footage from films related subjectively to them.
They've proven fairly popular on YouTube so I've been making new ones whenever I've the time.
eg. Faith No More's Midlife Crisis mashed with the Micky Rourke movie The Wrestler
