Gordon Brown enjoys Glee, Dave Cameron admits to watching Shameless but his favourite sitcom is Porridge. And Nick Clegg? Well his telly appetite is fed by Come Dine With Me. Gordon also likes The Beatles, Frank Sinatra and Motown, but denies he is a fan of the Arctic Monkeys. They just happen to make good alarm clock-like music. Meanwhile, Cameron prefers The Killers, Radiohead and has a soft spot for Lily Allen. So much so he included her album in a gift to Obama. And Nick Clegg? He's partial to a "rip-roaring piece of Rachmaninov or a 'soulful Johnny Cash' number", but admits to growing out of an 80s obsession with Prince. Gordon's favourite film is Hotel Rwanda and I must admit I didn't see that one coming. Cameron's into his classics like Lawrence of Arabia and Guns of Navarone. Good taste. And Nick Clegg? The Class, a 2006 Oscar-nominated French flick. Probably best to leave that out of the Daily Mail interview. Food-wise, Gordo likes rumbledethumps, a traditional Scottish dish made with "potatoes, cabbage, cheese, butter and herbs". Ah, bubble and squeak. Eurosceptic Cameron's recipe of choice is a rich Italian sausage meat pasta with half a pint of double-cream. Yum. And Nick Clegg? Deep-fried croquetas made from flour. Spanish croquettes.
