What's your nickname? Twin Cam 

Who was your first teenage crush and why? Mavis Evans, daughter of the headmaster. Taught me all I know about women - the daughter that is, not the headmaster. 

When was the first time you got drunk? Clapham Junction in 1968 - the first and last time I tried to drink 12 pints of beer. 

What did you want to be when you were a child? The Lone Ranger, until I realised I was scared of horses. 

What's your favourite book? From Russia with Love. It's a fantasy world of fast cars, glamourous women and exotic places. 

What's your favourite movie? To Have and Have Not. 

What was your worst holiday? Family holiday in North Wales which was interrupted when my dad drove his car into a cow.

Do you have any phobias? The propeller on a speed boat. 

If you could pick a celebrity to join your staff who would it be? Sir Alan Sugar, because of his business knowledge.

What would you request as your final meal? Chateaubriand washed down with a 10-year-old Chateau Margaux. 

What's your favourite junk food? I don't eat junk food ever - and hate everything about it. 

What's your favourite chat-up line? "You don't look like the picture on your website." 

What luxury would you have on your desert island? Julie Mango from Jamaica (that's the fruit by the way - not a Seventies porn star.) 

What's your biggest regret? Pursuing a career as an actuary for about 18 months. So boring. 

If you could star in a television programme, what would it be? Strictly Come Dancing, as Karen Hardy's partner. It would be a thrill to have such a brilliant dancing partner.
