Chum was a British boy's weekly which at the end of the year was bound into a single huge book and the following Christmas parents bought it as Christmas presents for male children.

Yeah I started when I was 6 years old. My brother and sister would get all of these presents at Christmas time from the cast and crew of their show and I was jealous. So I decided that I had to become an actor.

I had eight brothers and sisters. Every Christmas my younger brother Bobby would wake up extra early and open everybody's presents - everybody's - so by the time the rest of us got up all the gifts were shredded ribbons off torn open and thrown aside.

When I was 12 all I wanted for Christmas was a trampoline or a four-wheeler. I ended up getting both presents for Christmas.

Our children await Christmas presents like politicians getting in election returns: there's the Uncle Fred precinct and the Aunt Ruth district still to come in.

I love Christmas not just because of the presents but because of all the decorations and lights and the warmth of the season.

If the label presents them with a contract that the band don't want to sign all the label has to do is wait. There are a hundred other bands willing to sign the exact same contract so the label is in a position of strength.
