In Times5 we ask members of the community for their response to five not-so-serious questions. This week we talk to Spirit 621 South West breakfast radio host Ashley Dillon...

Excruciatingly tough!

The easiest one to pick would be David Attenborough, a hero of mine since I was a kid.

Barack Obama, the ultimate conversationalist.

Richard Dawkins, scientist and committed atheist. We’d get on great.

A sporting figure? Freddy Flintoff, a character who’d bring some life to the party.

And my wife, Kelly…. Because she’s my best friend, great for a laugh and I wouldn’t want her to miss it. And she thinks Obama’s a bit of alright.

If you had a time machine, where would you go and why?

To the Jurassic Era. I’d like to see what colours the great dinosaurs really were and to be eaten by a T-Rex would be a pretty cool way to go!

Name your dream concert line up and why?

Not a fair question to ask a 30 year radio guy but I’ll give you a list:

Led Zeppelin, The Killers, Foos (The Rockers), Public Enemy, Hilltop Hoods and Bliss and Eso (Hip Hoppers) and Justin Timberlake and Pink (for that pure pop spectacle)!

If you were an animal, what would you be and why?

A Willy Wagtail – because they seem to reflect my actual personality. Perpetually happy and on the go!

In a movie about your life, who would play you and why?

Dolph Lundgren. We’re of similar size and hair/skin colour but instead of getting in shape, he’d have to ‘let himself go’ for 6 months prior to filming!
