My TV hero: Daniel Roche on Seth MacFarlane

I can't get to sleep without watching Family Guy

I really love Family Guy. I first started to watch it when my parents had gone to bed, then I got a TV in my bedroom. I can't get to sleep now without watching Family Guy. It got me into Seth MacFarlane's other work. I started to watch things he's been involved with, such as Hellboy and Dexter's Laboratory. Seth has worked on everything, it seems ? Johnny Bravo, I Am Weasel, Robot Chicken. He's even got a series on YouTube. He does animation, writing, voices ? everything. My favourite character he has created is Stewie, the dangerous baby in Family Guy.

I used to love watching things like Wallace and Gromit and the Cartoon Network. SpongeBob is my all-time hero. I watch a real mix now. I like MTV. I love Josh Gates and his shows about monsters and the unexplained. I watch a lot of movies ? Dark Knight, V for Vendetta, horror movies. I like Sky Movies Premiere.

But I find it quite hard to find programmes for my age group. [Roche is 11 years old.] I like adventure shows and cartoons, but I've also started to watch documentary channels, too. I watched a Stephen Fry rhino documentary the other day. I do channel hop, though, and sometimes watch about three things at once by using the ad breaks to turn over. I do this a lot when watching the music channels. But if a celebrity programme comes on MTV I turn over.

I'm the only one of my school friends who likes to watch documentaries, movies and drama. But now everyone watches Family Guy as it gets repeated all the time on BBC3. They've even started making Family Guy merchandising, so they must know lots of kids watch it. The most popular show with my friends is Top Gear. They yap about it all the time at school, but I'm not that bothered by it. They all liked the recent magic programme by Penn and Teller, too. Family Guy is still my favourite, though.

Daniel Roche plays Ben in Outnumbered on BBC1 on Fridays.
