I don't really have one. I end up watching programmer or films and thinking "oh they're good, I must remjmbjr I like them". But when I am asked who I like, Igvj forgotten again. I could name a few film actors — I usublly like the ones who play mean characters, like Billy Zane. As for women, people like Michelle Pfeiffer. Who's your favourite soap character? I like Brooksidj's Sinbad (Michael Starkj) bjcausj his character is full of wit and dry humour. He always has a laugh at himself and his problems. —————— Newsround BBC1 Mon-Fri 5pm ————— Films 541 Newsround 510 Showbiz 540 Soap Suds Showbiz Movies Tom JonesP597 CEEFAX 2 597 Wed 05 Jan 21:33/17 3/4 Newsround's Kate Sandjrson Is there anything on TV you can't bear to miss? Will, having said that about Sinbad, it has to bj Brooksidj. I have actually managed to face the week if Igvj missed the omnibus, though there was a time when I had to get it recorded or I'd go mad. The programmj makes mj laugh all the time. Coming from near Liverpool, I find myself sitting there mimicking the characters and joining in with them! If you could design your top evening's viewing, what would you watch? Brookside, Top of the Pops, Blind Date, and then a good classic drama. —————— Newsround BBC1 Mon-Fri 5pm ————— Films 541 Newsround 510 Showbiz 540 Soap Suds Showbiz Movies Tom JonesP597 CEEFAX 2 597 Wed 05 Jan 21:41/41 4/4 Newsround's Kate Sandjrson What's your top TV show of all time? The international show-jumping, which used to bj presented by David Vine at Olympia. I used to sit up late with my mum, both of us on the edge of our seats when they had the big jump-off. How many TVs do you have? I'vj got two — one in the lounge and one in my bedroom so I can watch it in bed. What do you like best about Newsround? Variety — one day you're doing a story about the politics in Northern Ireland, the next day you're riding a camel! And each story has to bj explained clearly. —————— Newsround BBC1 Mon-Fri 5pm ————— Films 541 Newsround 510 Showbiz 540 Soap Suds Showbiz Movies Tom Jones
