BACKGROUND OF A MAVERICK
Following a degree in Experimental Psychology at Balliol College, Oxford, and two years working in Disney World, Florida (as a Sixteenth Century Gentleman), Shed worked in TV Production, heading up programmes including 'The Big Breakfast', 'Space Cadets', and 'Big Brother'. Shed soon became known
