Ashley has variously been a schoolboy with an obsessive love of ‘Star Wars’ and ‘Doctor Who’; a wannabe comedian who performed on the London comedy circuit at age16; a trivia nerd who appeared on ‘University Challenge’; a wrestling fanatic who would do anything to see the Ultimate Warrior take on Hulk Hogan; a history PhD candidate at Cambridge; a ardent football fan who saw Liverpool play across England and Europe; a strictly Orthodox Jew who went to synagogue three times a day for over 10 years; a father of six; and latterly, a tattoo collector quickly running out of space on his body to ink. In these recordings for Radio 4, Ashley is joined by Rosie Holt (recently seen in Bridget Jones: Mad About The Boy) and Kieran Hodgson (Two Doors Down, Prince Andrew: The Musical) to explain and explore his particular and sometimes peculiar fixations.
