00:00 If you ask my family, they'll say I'm a little bit focused on what I'm doing

00:03 and probably don't have enough time to watch box sets.

00:06 And I'm not sure I could even tell you the last box set that I watched.

00:08 But I do enjoy watching sport.

00:10 And if you want to ask me about cricket or sport, then please do.

00:12 Who's your football team?

00:14 My football... I don't really have a football team.

00:16 So you're not a sports fan, really?

00:17 I'm a cricket fan. I love sport and I enjoy watching sport.

00:20 But it'd be wrong to tell you that I have a football team.

00:24 I've been to Bournemouth, I've been to various other grounds,

00:27 but I don't have a specific football team.

00:30 OK, it's good to see you.

00:31 Wimborne Town Football Club.

00:32 OK.

00:33 Very gay. Wimborne Town.

00:34 OK. What was their last result?

00:35 I couldn't tell you that.

00:36 The last result that I was there was very exciting.

00:38 Lots of goals were scored and it was a 1-1 draw.

00:42 That's not lots of goals.

00:43 Well, it was.
