Meet little bulb

Meet PETA MAURICE

A film I could watch over and over again: ‘So I Married an Axe Murderer’ is very silly. I reckon I may already be able to quote 90% of it.

A painting that means something to me: ‘Starling Bird with a Pink Belly’. Can I say my 8 year old’s painting?! She worked really hard on it and it’s very impressive. 

Best TV show ever: It’s going to have to be BBC’s ‘Ghosts’. I love that gang! 

My favourite binge watch: My friend has just convinced me to watch Grey’s Anatomy..  I may currently be 20 years behind but I am loving it … and excited to see how they all age.

A book that changed my life: Well, if we’re talking life changing, I’d have to say Julia Donaldson’s ‘Stick Man’. It was when I was in the stage show that I met Julia (and her lovely late husband Malcolm) and we’ve been working together ever since. 

A book I could happily re-read: James Patterson’s ‘When the Wind Blows’. I last read it was about 15 years ago and it still pops into my head every now and again. 

My dance floor/karaoke banger: Simply the Best - just love trying to hit the high notes for the amusement of anyone watching. 

Podcast pick: Currently loving ‘You’re Dead to Me’. Learning about a historical person whilst having a good old giggle.  Feeding my obsession with Horrible Histories in a grown-uppy sort of way! 

Sum up your life philosophy in five words:  Being silly gets you through!

Meet AMY HARRIS

A film I could watch over and over again: Hunt for the Wilderpeople - Name me a bigger hero than Ricky baker?!

A painting that means something to me: I happened across a portrait of Author Radclyffe Hall by Charles Buchel at the National Portrait Gallery just as a talk was being done about the painting and the author. I loved Radclyffes book The Well of Loneliness so was thrilled to discover the painting.

The book that changed my life: The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe ignited my love of reading and storytelling so definitely played a part in the journey I find myself on today

My dance floor/karaoke banger: I like to attempt Why D’you Come in Here Looking’ Like That by Dolly Parton at Karaoke but it's really fast and you need a lot of breath and I don’t think I've ever done it justice. Sorry Dolly!

Podcast pick: As a huge Lionesses fan, it has to be Big Kick Energy with Pacey and Goosey

Favourite TV show as a kid: Going Live on a Saturday morning with a bowl of cocoa pops

First record I ever bought: I can’t tell you, it’s too uncool!

The production I wish I’d seen: I love Sally Cookson’s work but never managed to see her Peter Pan and would have loved to

Sum up your life philosophy in five words: Laughter is the best medicine

Meet EMILE CLARKE

A painting that means something to me: Nighthawks by Edward Hopper. I love the story it evokes. 

Best TV show ever: The good place. The characters are lovable and fun. 

My favourite binge watch: 30 rock. I’m a huge fan of Tina Fey and Donald Glover

The book that changed my life: 1984 by George Orwell. My political awakening. 

The book I could happily re-read: Roald Dahl’s revolting rhymes

My desert island disc: Anything from Erykah Badu makes my soul groove. 

My dance floor/karaoke banger: Groove is in the heart - Deee-Lite
