Character Profile: Barry
Age: Oh, God. Nearly 40.
Marital Status: Divorced. I still see my ex-wife, Pamela, because the vicar who married us - and subsequently just her - is still our vicar. I may have lost my faith when she buggered off - but he runs a brilliant quiz at the church hall. Video clips, the lot..
Hobbies: I'm a bit of an ace at the old crosswords. And I like to walk - as far away from people as I can. I'm not so keen on the walk back, but… needs must.
I know it's a magazine, but The Puzzler. Or, if that doesn't count, all of Terry Pratchett's oeuvre.
Favourite Colour: People with a high IQ usually go for green - which is strange, because my favourite colour's orange.
Ideal Holiday Destination: Tatooine.
Person You Most Admire: Rick Wakeman, Martin Jarvis, Gyles Brandreth - and anyone else from Countdown's Dictionary Corner. How do they do it? They must cheat..
Earliest Memory: The Daleks.
Spellbound. I was. All the way through. That's to say, I was spellbound. By Spellbound.
Greatest Achievement: I once won £25 in make-up vouchers for completing a wordsearch in Chat magazine. It wasn't my mag - it was Lilian's. So I entered in her name. She took the prize - and all the glory. But I know the true facts of the matter..
Favourite Song: Love In An Elevator. But I'd like to point out that, you know, it's not for personal reasons. I've never had sex in a lift. The chains might snap. I just like the catchy beat.
