We caught up with David to find out what he likes to watch to relax between filming…

Favourite TV show to cheer you up:

“Family Guy, because I can sit and quote most of the episodes with my brothers and it never gets old.”

Favourite TV show to watch before going to sleep:

“American Dad, because it’s always on before bed and makes a good substitute for Family Guy.”

TV show that reminds you of your childhood:

“Recess, because it all I used to watch with my brothers after school.”

TV show that reminds you of being a teenager:

“The Fresh Prince of Bel Air. It’s one of the best TV shows ever! I still watch it if it’s on.”

Favourite ‘guilty pleasure’ TV show:

“The Jeremy Kyle Show, for sheer comedy value!”

TV show that you find most addictive:

“Entourage. Jonny Chase is a legend and I want Ari Gold to be my agent!”

Favourite TV show to watch hungover:

“The Simpsons – hungover or not. I never get bored of it, for obvious reasons: it’s just brilliant.”
