Making the case
GODDARD’S WORLD
Favourite sports team: My dad took me
to Old Trafford when I was young and I have
been a Manchester United fan ever since. And
I have to say, increasingly you’ve got to be
impressed by Brighton and Hove Albion.
I get to their matches when possible.
Favourite film: Impossible question. The
King’s Speech was the last I went to see.
Stand-out films are always associated with
particular times of your life. So Kes, for
example, and Jean de Florette a bit later.
And more recently, Cave of Forgotten Dreams.
Favourite holiday destination:
It’s always wherever I went last!
Currently reading: A brilliant book called The
Team of Rivals, about Abraham Lincoln’s
cabinet and how he pulled together disparate
characters and disparate forces to unite a
nation. A revelation in terms of leadership.
I’m also reading a book called Testify, about
what effect architecture and design has had
on people’s lives.
Worst habit: Trying to cram too much in.
Favourite restaurant: A favourite haunt
is Orso in Covent Garden. And in Brighton, one
called Seven Dials, and another called Blenio
– nice, good, neighbourhood restaurants.
