Name
Ian Aherne
How many years have you been involved with Gang Show?
21 years Man and Boy! Started as a Cub in the 1989 show and the magic continued from there. After 11 consecutive shows in the cast, this is my first as production team only.
What would be your dream job?
Tricky one. I think a Doctor (Surgeon) or an Astronaut as these seem pretty cool or a Fighter Pilot or Professional Mixed/Men’s Pairs Badminton Player or an Ice Cream Man. Or maybe a talent scout for professional footballers, that way I can pretend not to see Craig, when he tries out for his dream job of being an Arsenal striker and then keep calling him Chris to his face afterwards!!!
What one item would you take with you to a desert island?
A TV with Sky+ HD would be good, assuming there was a plug or a laptop. Can I take Craig? Then I could wind him up and prank him forever, which would never get old (Psych!).
What one item of food can't you live without?
I love Chinese so perhaps Duck with Udon Noodles.

Jan – A 3 legged hamster (she had to have one amputated after an accident). It was very upsetting (sob), so thanks for bringing it up, I also have a paper-cut if you want to pour in some lemon juice?!
Tell us about your most embarrassing moment?
There are far too many embarrassing moments to begin to relay here, all you have to do is ask any of the production team and I am sure they can regale you of stories of old!

What is your greatest achievement so far in life?
Difficult one….. perhaps flying on Concorde! Or perhaps learning to tie my own shoelaces.
