10 THINGS YOU DIDN’T NEED TO KNOW ABOUT THE B1 TEAM.

NAME: SALLY BELL.

WHEN I’M NOT BEING A FANTASTIC DIGITAL DIRECTOR, I’M… Either reading, watching rubbish television or walking Frances Bacon… or being awesome in some other capacity.

MY PARENTS NAMED ME AFTER… The legend goes that there were thoughts to name me School or Liberty, as it would have been endlessly entertaining to be Liberty Bell. Thankfully, that did not come to pass. I suspect I was named after either a Little Richard or Wilson Picket song, as my parents are rather big music fans. My middle name, however, is what makes me truly southern, turning the “hip” Sally into a Ice Tea drinking, porch swing sitting “Sally-Ann”. It is actually both my grandmothers’ middle name and now my darling niece’s middle name too.

ONLY THE B1 FAMILY KNOWS THAT… I don’t know how to swim, despite going wake boarding as my first team outing in the studio.

IF I WERE A WRESTLER, MY NAME AND ENTRANCE SONG WOULD BE… “The Ringer” would enter to the sound of Anita Ward wailing out Ring My Bell.

IF HOLLYWOOD MADE A FILM OF MY LIFE, I’D BE PLAYED BY… Zooey Deschanel.

MY PROUDEST FANCY DRESS COSTUME WAS… I have two. Firstly, my Russell from Up costume, as I got to make loads of scout badges, and it also gave me an excuse to carry essentials like chocolate around without being out of character. My other was fulfilling my lifelong dream of being able to dance like an idiot in a mascot style outfit. My Stuart from Minions costume took metres of yellow felt and was roasting inside, but it was great fun getting through train station barriers.

IF I WERE A FONT, I’D BE… by Erik Spiekermann. Sensible and awesome.

YOU LEARN SOMETHING NEW EVERY DAY. TODAY I LEARNT… Elon Musk was named after his American great-grandfather John Elon Haldeman, who was born in Minnesota. Elon apparently means Oak Tree in Hebrew.

IF B1 WERE A ROCK BAND, I’D BE… Overly enthusiastic cowbell player.

I LIVE MY LIFE BY ONE RULE… “Be awesome!”

NAME: MIKEE MAYHEW.

WHEN I’M NOT BEING A FANTASTIC CREATIVE LEAD, I’M… Chief taste tester for Guinness and 5th official for London Irish.

MY PARENTS NAMED ME AFTER… A Speedway rider Mike Lee or F1 Champion Mike Hawthorn. I may have a supersonic transportation device from Stuttgart, however I wouldn’t recommend following me – I drive like it’s Sunday, all day, everyday.

ONLY THE B1 FAMILY KNOWS THAT… A bowler is for your head and not for fruit. A bowler fruit… get it? Tough crowd.

IF I WERE A WRESTLER, MY NAME AND ENTRANCE SONG WOULD BE… Slippin’ Jimmy, “It’s Saul Goodman”. Entering to the sounds of KC and the Sunshine Band – That’s The Way I Like It. Or Rocky McFarlane and 500 miles – “da dada da.”

IF HOLLYWOOD MADE A FILM OF MY LIFE, I’D BE PLAYED BY… Bruce Willis. He gets the job done.

MY PROUDEST FANCY DRESS COSTUME WAS… Mr Fredricksen from Up, complete with helium balloons, tennis balls and all.

YOU LEARN SOMETHING NEW EVERY DAY. TODAY I LEARNT… That keming is the result of improper kerning.

I LIVE MY LIFE BY ONE RULE… “If you want to get ahead, get a hat.” Plus… “There’s always room for one more.” That makes two.

MY PARENTS NAMED ME AFTER… no one?

ONLY THE B1 FAMILY KNOWS THAT… I don’t like mulled cider, no matter how many nice bits are put in it.

IF I WERE A WRESTLER, MY NAME AND ENTRANCE SONG WOULD BE… “Wrecking Ball” & Miley Cyrus Wrecking Ball. That should strike fear.

IF HOLLYWOOD MADE A FILM OF MY LIFE, I’D BE PLAYED BY… Probably James Cordon, although I’m not happy about it.

MY PROUDEST FANCY DRESS COSTUME WAS… The Devil.

IF I WERE A FONT, I’D BE… Something simple, like .

YOU LEARN SOMETHING NEW EVERY DAY. TODAY I LEARNT… The current Queen is actually older than sliced bread.

IF B1 WERE A ROCK BAND, I’D BE… Probably the front man, and I’d smash it too.

I LIVE MY LIFE BY ONE RULE… Don’t take yourself too seriously.

NAME: FRANCES BACON.

WHEN I’M NOT BEING A CHO, I’M… Checking on everyone in the studio to see if they have dropped any crumbs or have a free moment for a belly rub.

MY PARENTS NAMED ME AFTER… My great aunt Fran. She lives in the USA in the mountains. I dream of the day I can run and bark amongst the ozarks.

ONLY THE B1 FAMILY KNOWS THAT… I have an alter ego, Frances Foxcatcher, who stalks back gardens warding off pesky foxes.

IF I WERE A WRESTLER, MY NAME AND ENTRANCE SONG WOULD BE… Move it On Over by Hank Williams. The SMALL DOG IS MOVING IN! Or I think I would enter to DMX Party Up, maybe my name would be Long Dog…

IF HOLLYWOOD MADE A FILM OF MY LIFE, I’D BE PLAYED BY… Leslie Jordan. He is small and fantastic just like me.

I LIVE MY LIFE BY ONE RULE… When everyone zigs, zag!

NAME: LYDIA JONES.

WHEN I’M NOT BEING A FANTASTIC CONTENT LEAD, I’M… Rummaging through bargain rails at vintage fairs.

MY PARENTS NAMED ME AFTER… A novel my mum read called Love for Lydia, which was later a TV series. I do like the name, despite the constant references to the Marx Brothers’ song Lydia the Tattooed Lady. I haven’t quite lived up to the lyrics “She has eyes that folks adore so, and a torso even more so…”

ONLY THE B1 FAMILY KNOWS THAT… I let out a small squeal every time I hear a song by boy band 5ive, particularly during J’s rap. Apparently eyebrow piercings and puffa vests do it for me – who knew?

IF I WERE A WRESTLER, MY NAME AND ENTRANCE SONG WOULD BE… “Liddy Stardust” and Moonage Daydream. Keep your electric eye on me, babe.

IF HOLLYWOOD MADE A FILM OF MY LIFE, I’D BE PLAYED BY… Aidy Bryant – get her a British accent and a box of red hair dye.

YOU LEARN SOMETHING NEW EVERY DAY. TODAY I LEARNT… Twinings Tea is the world’s oldest unaltered logo in continuous use. And we are certainly fans of Twinings at B1…

IF B1 WERE A ROCK BAND, I’D BE… The soulful backing singer, who can help the lead out if they should forget the lyrics.

I LIVE MY LIFE BY ONE RULE… “It always seems impossible until it’s done.”
