"But we're short!" wailed Spike and Jimmy and you can't be mean to us as we bundled them into TOTP secret interogation room. "You can't be mean to us!" You wanna bet?

So, Jimmy, you're doing a few solo numbers on the new album. Are you trying to oust Lee from the limelight? Jimmy: No, it's just a nice thing to do. Everyone knows Lee's the main singer. It's like Stephen doing the odd solo track for Boyzone.

Have you defaced one of Lee's solo posters? Jimmy:Do we 'eck?! Nah. Spike: We just take the pee out of him.

Come on, you must be cheesed off with all the extra stuff Lee's gets to do... Spike: Nah. I feel sorry for him having to get up earlier in the morning. 'Sides, me and Jimmy get to have a laugh, playing on our Playstations. Jimmy: (Very sternly) anyway, it's good promotion for 911.

In the October 97' Issue of TOTP magazine Lee mention he'd like to record a solo album. Does that worry you? Jimmy: he probably will and good luck to him. we've all been approached but I'd fing it too lonely. Spike Anywya, Lee couldn't do it without us.

Oooh! Do we detect a bit of tension there? Spike: Nah. I don't mean he's rubbish or anything but he needs us to moan at. Jimmy: Yeah, he'd be bored silly and he'd crack up. Spike: Little wuss.
