Film & TV Critic, Curator, Broadcaster, BAFTA, BIFA, Brits, UK Critics' Circle Voter/Member, Foodie. Please DO NOT ask me to CHAT. Thanks.

I am HAPPILY MARRIED and have no intention of meeting potential suitors online. I also don't appreciate being hit on, in any way, form or comment, for this very reason. Also, I ask that you keep your comments relevant to status updates and in English, so we can all understand them - it is the language that I understand and converse in and as it's my page, I hope you respect this. And for those asking, I am British Tamil, with Asian and African roots, raised in Denmark, Nigeria and England!
