Who is this man? | TheaterFire

Just feel the need to drop this: [Ros Atkins Drum & Bass Mix - Desert Island Disco on BBC 6 Music](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RiGg0WoxIGE) The man's talent appears to know no limits.

He's either the mascot for a chain of restaurants called Little Bits, or his father owns a park staffed by a ghost, a zombie, a yeti, a bird and a raccoon.

I worked with him a good few years ago. He’s a top bloke. And a stunningly good journalist. His series on communication is simply superb. The sort of person you work with and would enjoy catching up with and spending a Friday night in a pub with years later. And as someone who essentially doesn’t like people much, that’s high praise from me!
