When I was growing up, I always told my parents, “Don’t expect me to become a doctor.” But in high school I really liked the TV show House and I really liked solving problems. So I never knew what else I wanted to become except for a doctor. I’ve been a practising GP for years now. This means that, for a lot of my life, I’ve been science-focused. And I wasn’t always a film watcher.

I’m a writer and painter, two professions with the occupational risk of turning you, to put it delicately, a little bit weird. Insularity is the name of the game with both – you have to spend a lot of time inside, not really talking to people, trapped totally in your own head. For some time now, the solution to this problem has been my rat, Bob. I’ve had him for two years, and in that time he has been my sounding board, creative confidant and unwavering ally.
