In summary then, the typical YouPlayer could be described as a casually dressed dolphin who likes maths, unicorns, comedy movies and football; is seeking happiness and a great rock n'roll song, and would like to lose some weight and then travel through time.
What do you think?

G'day Jessie, I think ur conclusion conjures up the mental image of a pod of tee-shirt n thongs clad dolphins bopping to The Unicorns rock group while playing Suduko at the internet cafe. Oi!...lol

That's great, but I do wish you'd give an extra alternate option in each poll: "None of the above". That would particularly apply in polls like the present one, wherein I feel most people wouldn't wish to be involved in any of the Tv shows mentioned. I think you'd also increase the number of people who poll, if you add my suggested choice. Regards Clem F
