What was your favourite TV show?
I wasn't really allowed to watch TV, but I liked Thunderbirds. I really liked the character of Peter Pan, because he didn't grow up and I didn't want to grow up and because he could fly and I wanted to fly.
Who was your favourite teacher and why?
Not a school teacher - my scout master. He was extremely friendly. I liked getting as far away from school as possible and he would take us on wonderful adventure trips.
What made you cringe most?
Latin, I think. I couldn't see any point in learning it and I couldn't string two Latin words together.
Were you bullied?
A little bit. I think bullies are the worst people and I hope that I went to the rescue of people who were being bullied - I was quite tall for my age. I think bullying is unforgivable. Anyone who sees it happen should try to put a stop to it.
Who was your hero or heroine?
Film star Jane Fonda - I thought she was beautiful.
Did you have a nickname?
Branson pickle.
What was your favourite book?
Swallows and Amazons - a lovely kids' adventure book.
