While 'Teachers' may have had its following, it was on late-night Channel Four, whereas 'EastEnders' was seen by millions and millions of people. I certainly don't have the cache to sell a programme like that, and certainly nobody's coming up and asking me to.

LISP programmers know the value of everything and the cost of nothing.

My job is the perfect excuse for watching action films, soaps, quiz programmes -- where the language is busy right now.

My iPod that was programmed by Peter Buck. It has 7,000 songs hand-picked for me by him.

My favourite programme of all time is 'Weeds'; the first three or four series are perfection.
