We put a microphone in front of crew and fired these questions at them?

Your two favourite Sci Fi shows and why you like them?

My first favourite show has to be Quantum Leap. Scott Bakula was awesome as Dr Sam Beckett and the plots were equally fantastic. Sci-fi isn’t known for it’s emotional scenes, but Leap had plenty – Beckett singing Imagine to his kid sister; playing basketball with his brother before he died in Vietnam; the final episode where Sam became ‘lost’ – this programme had them all. Add to the mix the humour of Al and the sheer weirdness of Gushi, and this has to be the best show ever.

My second favourite show is the new Doctor Who. Up until Christopher Ecclestone took the role, it was frankly, pants. Plastic costumes, dodgy sets and hammed-up acting hid the age of the show well into the late 80s, when it really deserved axing ten years previously. However, come 2004, and it was back with a bang. The show was strong with a magnificent cast, and thanks to Russell T. Davies, also boasted a fabulous script. Now post-Ecclestone, the series is even better with David Tennant, a man who seems was born to play the role, rather like Sean Connery was born to play Bond. The question remains now – can the show survive after Billie?

Favourite Sci-Fi Character

Well, it would be James Bond, but it is dubious as to whether this is a sci-fi character! So, the accolade has to go to the Man of Steel – Superman.

Christopher Reeve defined the role, and although Brendan Routh was good, he wasn’t Reeve. The role displayed his excellent acting skills, with humour, seriousness and emotion. The second film was pure class, and it is testament to the original creators that the character had a box-office smash fifty years after it began.

Superman was the good in everyone, and was the defender of the earth that we had always hoped for (and need more than ever). With John Williams’ music, Superman was one of the most iconic characters ever committed to celluloid.

Tell us a little about past work, places you worked at.

I worked at Quaywest Radio in West Somerset from 1997 – 2004. In that time, I did the weekend sports and breakfast shows and also the Student Zone on a Sunday afternoon. Later on, I was promoted to the Outside Broadcast Producer and actually got paid (my first ever paid role in radio)! One fine day, a new presenter once walked in called Geoff Carter, and life was never the same again…

…And so from 2002-2003, I also worked at SkyWave Radio in Brighton with Geoff, doing funny characters and the stuff we are now famed for.

Now we are entertaining sci-fi fans across the world, at Area 51 Radio Station!

The funniest, strangest thing that ever happened to you in past work

At the first Expo the station covered (May 2005), I had the pleasure of interviewing a Dalek live on air, who called himself Steve and claimed that he had arrived on a bus! It was difficult not to laugh, as we were playing it straight, but in the end I couldn’t help myself! ‘Steve’ looked like a real Dalek, and onlookers just didn’t know what to make of it all.

Your most exciting presenting or writing experience?

That would have to be interviewing the major sci-fi stars at the three Expos that the station attended. Meeting people like Bruce Boxleitner from Babylon 5 and actually getting to have a laugh and a joke with him was great.

Stay tuned over the coming months for the full interview, EXCLUSIVE to Area 51 Radio Station!
