The TV presenter on his small-screen loves and hates, and why his job presenting the home makeover show is an emotional one
Star Trek Discovery on Netflix. I’m a bit of a Trekkie – I’ve watched all the episodes of the original series and every movie, and I loved the JJ Abrams revisiting and The Next Generation. There’s something weird about its creator, Eugene Wesley Roddenberry: sliding doors didn’t exist when he wrote them into the bridge; neither did their touch screen communications systems. Nasa is looking to it for inspiration for space travel technology; today’s scientists were nerds like me watching it. And no, I don’t wear the outfits or go to conventions, before you ask.
