Roddy Peters

Roddy is our Marketing, Social Media and Blog Manager. Which is a very smart way of saying ‘he writes words down’ and a fitting role for someone described by Mrs. Dally in Year 3 as having “verbal diarrhoea”.

A professional actor, it’s more likely you’ll have encountered him on stage, at the Birmingham Rep for instance, than on your telly – but those with keen ears might once have caught him on The Archers. He records audio books for the RNIB, likes discovering archaic grammar rules, and can do a special whistle that sounds like a warbling bird.

What is a skill you’d like to learn and why?

I would like to learn the piano (to play along with Elton) or to fly a helicopter (to gatecrash his parties).

What’s your favourite meal?

Roast beef with Yorkshire pubs; or for a lazy win I can recommend Sainsbury's King Prawn Makhani.

How do you spend your free time?

Filling out questionnaires.

If you won the lottery, what would you do?

Buy a house, a Jaguar F-Type and a guinea pig.

What is your most played song on your iPod/iPhone, etc.?

Pompeii by Bastille. Or Bastille by Pompeii?

If you could witness any event, past, present or future, what would it be?

The opening of a Shakespeare play performed at Court before Elizabeth I. Kills the 'theatre' and 'history' birds with one stone.

If you had a superpower what would it be and why?

To fly. So I'd never have to pay for a train ticket ever again.

What was the last picture you took on your phone?

Some sunflowers I was given, glowing in the lounge.
