What's your earliest musical memory? Watching Top of the Pops in the living room and singing along to 'Brown Girl in the Ring' What was your favourite TV show as a kid? I've had a teddy called Hector since I was 2, so I'm presuming I liked Hector's House. Earliest ones I can remember watching are Trumpton and Camberwick Green. I also loved Chorlton and the Wheelies, Dangermouse, and Willow the Wisp Your first memory of going to the cinema? I can remember being taken to see Bambi when I was very young, in a tiny cinema on Bangor sea front, but don't remember much about the film. I also have a really clear memory of my dad taking us to see The Empire Strikes Back - we were late and missed the start of the film. Who would you most like to have on the show? Robbie Williams, for obvious reasons Ideal dinner party date? Stephen Fry What are your favourite modern TV programmes? The West Wing, Frasier, The Apprentice (preferably the US version), Location Location Location, The Mighty Boosh, Strictly Dance Fever, and most reality shows... Last CD you bought? I rarely buy them due to working on a music show and having itunes. I think the last one I actually went into a shop and purchased may have been Madonna's latest album. Any sporting affiliations? Not really - though I've recently been watching the rugby with friends when Ireland are playing. I understand what's going on about 25% of the time. I'll occasionally watch big football matches, Liverpool are 'my' team I also flirted with cricket last year, but only 'cos of Steve Harminson. Best thing about working on The John Daly Radio Show? It's a laugh!

What's your earliest musical memory? I can vaguely remember hearing the Beatles, pre radio one and the beginnings of a radio revolution. Then, listening to radio one after school with Terry Wogan - fight the flab!! It seemed that if you did not have a chair to exercise with, you would never be thin. At this time we also brought the radio into the living room and turned down the volume when songs of praise was on whilst listening to the charts - we thought that it was very radical and very funny.

What was your favourite TV show as a kid? I really liked Pogles wood and blue peter but my mother tells me that I would not have missed some cowboy show - not sure if it was hop along Cassidy or the Lone Ranger. Mind you when I went missing one day, the local priest or police reassured my mother that I would be home in time to see it and indeed.....

Your first memory of going to the cinema? I had never been to the cinema and then went twice in one week. When the sound of music was released the school organised for us to go as a class. Then my parents decided that this was a wholesome enough film for us all to go and see at the weekend - no sex or violence but a family of young children threatened by Nazis!

Who would you most like to have on the show? I would love to have Sir Alex Ferguson on the show but until he steps back from his BBC embargo that is unlikely. Mind you, we almost booked him for the TV show until someone let it slip that it was a BBC show. I would love to interview u2 again as well.

Ideal dinner party date? Shirley Maclaine, Sharon stone or peter Kay.

What are your favourite modern TV programmes? Love prison break on five, and have not missed any of the four series of 24 (even though i don't have sky!) I also love I'm a Celebrity and X factor - top production values

Last CD you bought? I have been catching up with CD's of albums that I had on vinyl years ago and have recently bought abbey road by the Beatles, reflections by Carly Simon and bob Dylan's greatest hits volume one. Next stop is to replenish my supply of Joan Armatrading tracks and to get the streets new album and snow patrols as well.

Any sporting affiliations? I support Manchester United - no more needs to be said.

Best thing about working on The John Daly Radio Show? Everything - I just love everything about it.
