Get to know Simon Doe a little better - We hooked him up to our 'Lie Detector' and managed to extract the following:

Name: Simon Doe
 

Who was your first kiss with? A girl in the next street called Jane, or it might have been Mandy [Boss: What - you can't REMEMBER?]
 

What's your favourite food? Egg mayonnaise sandwiches and I'm also getting into salmon dishes [Boss: Phew! - The SMELL!]
 

What's your most favourite place in the world? Probably Swanage in Dorset, a childhood home with strong family links
 

What were you like as a child? A lot shorter! [Boss: Nothing changed then? 😁]
 

What was your very first concert? Gilbert O'Sullivan
 

What's your go -to karaoke song? It's Not Unusual by Tom Jones. You're on and off again within two minutes - it saves embarrassment!
 

What's the most unusual job you've ever had? A Saturday job where I delivered cauliflowers to the Royal Kitchen at Windsor Castle [Boss: Oooo - get YOU!]
 

What was the first album you ever bought? A battered copy of 'The Best Of The Beach Boys' at a jumble sale
 

If you could interview anyone, dead or alive, who would it be and why? Nicholas Parsons. I did interview him, but I lost the tape. Yes, tape. I'd like that souvenir as he was such a gentleman and was very complimentary to me. That meant a lot to a young broadcaster from a legend such as him.
