I myself don't have Netflix. And recently, I was staying at a friend's place who did, and I was feeling rather poorly one morning, and I sat down and watched the entire series of 'The Killing,' the American version of 'The Killing' in one day. I just got hooked. I thought, 'Wow, I've never done this before.'
Aden Young

Alison Owen
My first event was in Nottingham, aged 11, and the prize was a bike. I thought, 'Wow.' I had no idea what to wear.

There was a technical and tactical aspect to it as well as the endurance challenge. I was hooked.

When my first daughter was born, my husband held her in his hands and said, 'My God, she's so beautiful.' I unwrapped the baby from her blankets.

Anthony Bourdain was the one who hooked me on Laos.
I love words. Sudoku I don't get into, I'm not into numbers that much, and there are people who are hooked on that.

I'll take it.'
