RT: What motoring shows have you been involved with?
Liz: I did Number Plate Heaven, which I actually wrote and took it to Men and Motors six months before they commissioned it. Gary Shoefield the boss there liked the idea and said to go away and write it up as a six programme series. I think he thought, 'Oh she'll never come back with six programmes out of this.’ but I did. I went back with it and he commissioned it on the spot. He loved it.

RT: What gave you the idea for the number plate programme?
Liz: When I first went to Men and Motors, I had about six programme ideas and, he liked the number plate programme 'because no-one had ever done anything like it before’. It's the most obvious. When you're driving around it's the most noticeable thing you see on someone's car isn't it? You may see two cars the same but you're never going to see two number plates the same.

RT: You went around the world to film this, didn't you?
Liz: It was filmed in America, we were due to film in Ireland but because of time restrictions we didn’t. Just the UK and America.

RT: Did you have an interest in number plates before this?
Liz: Yes, I always have. You know when you’re little and you go on long journeys, you would actually sit in cars wouldn’t you? Do you remember writing down number plates and searching for things like that?

RT: Like the first one to make a word out of the number plate in front?
Liz: Yeh, something like that.
