Best recent book: I enjoyed We Are the Young Men from Rob Doyle, a guy who went to the same school as me, I’m looking forward to his follow-up in 2016. The best book I read this year was Alan Cumming’s memoir, Not My Father’s Son.

Best recent film: It’s an old one but a good one, I saw The Omen for the first time this year at Halloween. Spectre was good in the cinemas but a bit forgettable too.
