What do you do, exactly?
I'm a producer. 'Producer' is one of those strange words which means different things in different parts of the media. For me, I like that it can mean anything from writing a script to presenting a video. For Harvey Weinstein, it means producing multi-billion dollar movies.
How long have you worked for 成人快手 Learning English?
Since 2006. Before that I worked for the 成人快手 Chinese Service, a London TV production company and in a school in Warsaw.
What other languages can you speak?
I'm a language geek. I studied Chinese at university - a wonderful, ancient, poetic and increasingly useful language I'd recommend anyone to try! I've also learned bits of French, German, Polish, Khmer, Hokkien Chinese, Japanese, Armenian and Arabic, with varying degrees of success. I'd love to try Sanskrit or Greek next.

Not hugely original, but I can spend hours lost in the dustiest corners of Wikipedia. Who knew the evolution of
* was so interesting?
What's your earliest memory?
Being dragged up a cold mountain in England by enthusiastic parents at three years old. Very tired, I stumbled and fell and asked my Dad angrily: "What is the name of this stupid mountain?" "Helvellyn", he replied. "Hel-fallen, you mean!" I replied, which Dad proudly tells me was my first pun.
What's your most embarrassing experience?
Walking on stage naked in front of a crowd of people to perform the role of Hamlet, without knowing any of the lines. Actually that's just a recurring dream, but every time I think it's real.
Where's your favourite place, and why?
When the sun shines, looking out over miles of changing sea from a clifftop in the Orkney Islands in Scotland where I grew up. If only the sun shined a bit more! Or Uluwatu in Bali. Wow.
