File pic/getty images And if he does become involved and makes a hash of things, he meekly follows orders to put things right. TV turn-offs include Alan Sugar, adds Cameron, whose dream Christmas day TV schedule consists of an episode of Spooks and a Bond movie. "We take Christmas very seriously in our house, especially the decoration of the tree," the Prime Minister said. "Sam won't let me anywhere near itu00a0-- in fact one year she made me remove the lights I'd strung up and start again." Like millions of households across the country, Number 10 adheres to strict traditions on December 25.

"And yes, the television's on at three on the dot for the Queen's speech." He still receives stockings, he said, and presents are always opened in the morning.u00a0 Asked about what he'd watch when he put his feet up after lunch, he added, 'I'du00a0 have a Spooks reunion episode with all the old characters back from the dead. "Then one of those great costume dramas like Jane Eyre or Bleak House, then au00a0 film ufffd Goldfinger or The Sound Of Music, which I still love watching." Revealing what makes him want to turn off the set, he said: "Alan Sugar foru00a0 adults. SpongeBob SquarePants for children." Despiteu00a0-- or perhaps becauseu00a0-- of the need to keep up with current affairsu00a0 during virtually every waking hour, Cameron admitted the Prime Ministerialu00a0 bedroom does not have a TV set. Other questions unearthed Jamie Oliver as the PM's favourite TV chef and his choice for 2011u00a0 Sports Personality of the Year is England cricket captain Andrew Strauss.
