You’ve been on twitter for just over a year now, have you found it addictive at all? How did you break the addiction?

It can be quite addictive…but to be honest i don’t have time to become too hooked

Did you join Twitter for personal or professional reasons? How does it help/has it helped with your job?

For professional reasons – and yes it has helped, and we’re exploring new ways of using it, and I rather enjoy it for personal reasons too.

You’ve been involved in news reporting for quite a while now – how do you react to claims that it is dumbing down in general?

I think on the whole TV News is better than it has ever been. But some programmes are not what they used to be, and have gone downmarket.

In October 2009, as a final goodbye to Grange Hill after 30 years, Erkan is hosting one last Grange Hill Cast Reunion at the Sound nightclub in London’s Leicester Square. The proceeds of the event will go to charity.

You can get your tickets from Erkan’s website.

You will forever be Roland to a generation – has that been a positive or negative thing, personally and professionaliy.

Being Roland has always been exciting both professionally and personally. I’d happily do it all again.

You are trying to organise a Grange Hill Reunion – has Twitter, Facebook, etc. helped in tracking people down?

Many of the cast are difficult to track down, but thanks to the general public on twitter and facebook we have managed to find a few.

There have been a number of GH reunions over the years – why is this one special?

This reunion is special because its the first time 30 years of cast will be in the same place at the same time and its for charity

Author and broadcaster Jon Ronson is a Cardiff-born journalist whose distinctive reporting style and subjects have entertained readers of his Guardian column, viewers of his documentaries and readers of his five books.

His third book, The Men Who Stare at Goats is a major motion picture staring George Clooney due out later in 2009, while his second book Them: Adventures with Extremists is also reported to have been optioned by a Hollywood studio.

You can view the trailer for The Men Who Stare at Goats here.

The Men Who Stare At Goats is becoming a movie starring George Clooney – how weird do you find that?

I’ve seen the film and I love it – it is very warm and funny – so I feel proud.

You joined twitter in December 2008 – has it become an essential part of your life? Or just another tool for procrastination?

I love my nerdy followers and friends. It’s supportive like the Internet often isn’t. It’s like art, like a Robert Altman collage movie.

Psychic Armies, Extremists, the Alpha Course – who is next? Have you tried to investigate Scientology? or twitter culture?

My next book is on its way, but I don’t want to say what it’s about. Jon x

You turned down a scholarship in the US to study at Manchester – what do you think you’d be doing if you had accepted?

I turned down a drumming Scholarship in the states ,so if I had taken it I’d be drumming, rather than acting for a living.

You’re back in Corrie now – why is it that so many comedians seem to be turning up in it these days?

One of the joys of Coronation St. Is that it exploits the lighter side of life, so comedians are an obvious choice for roles.

You’ve been on Twitter a while now – how are you enjoying it? Whose your favourite twitterer?

I don’t have favourite twitterer although I love it when my comedy chums start hashtags eg.#three words after sex. They’re great fun.

Since 2005 Porter has suffered from Alopecia causing her to lose much of her hair, which she refused to hide with a wig but instead became a prominent figure in raising awareness of the condition. Her autobiography was published in 2007.

Wikipedia says you tried to join Blue Peter? True? Who got the job instead of you?

I went for an audition for blue peter but I didn’t make it. Quite glad as it was a bit too goodie goodie for me.

You’ve had a famous battle with Alopecia, do you think your honesty about it has helped others?

I think being honest about my alopecia hopefully has helped other sufferers realize they are not alone.

What’s the attraction of twitter for you? And will the (becoming legendary) fluff reports continue?

I love the fact that Twitter is instant. I know I can count on someone to talk to and make me smile at all times of the day/night.

Since C4’s early morning programme R.I.S.E. finished, which Iain co-presented, Iain has become a mainstay on radio stations such as LBC, Virgin and now Absolute Radio where he presents a break from non-stop music with an irreverent phone-in show (he recently wrestled a listener).

Iain’s occasional podcast Shindiggery can be gotten via his website iainlee.co.uk/

A Silver Sony award, a BBC2 sitcom on its way – is this the resurgence of Iain Lee on our radio and tv sets?

Hardly. The Scum Also Rises starts filming this week for BBC2. It’s not a starring role. I’m a regular but it’s a small part.

You were an early podcaster with Shindiggery – what’s happened to that? Is it true you’re doing it live?

Shindiggery live will be at the Hen&Chickens July.Prob won’t be broadcast but Im filming it. Shindig podcast will start gain when I get time

You have a band that does Pop and rock songs sung in Japanese – surely that’s not true?

True enough. Boomhauer x play at The Water Rats in Kings Cross on July 20th. Japanese vocals and a horn section. It rocks mo fo

Robert Llewellyn is probably best known as the robot Kryten in the hit comedy sci-fi show Red Dwarf. He is also a an author, presenter of numerous programs including Scrapheap Challenge, and now the mastermind behind the web hit CarPool. His extensive website www.llew.co.uk contains all you need to know about Robert.

Red Dwarf finally made a comeback after many years, but as a TV show, does this mean the plans for a film are dead?

After 10 years doing nothing then suddenly working together again, I don’t think anything is impossible. New series is more likely though

Where did this CarPool idea come from? And who, dead or alive, would be your top Carpooler?

CarPool idea came from recording David Baddiel when he gave me a lift in 1998. Took me a while to get it together, like 10 years. I most want to have Jodie Foster as a carpooler

You’ve been ahead of the curve in your net use (llew.co.uk for example). Are you a geek, or just a fan of connecting w/people?

I’m an amateur geek, love plugging stuff together and making it work, used to be mechanical stuff, now it’s digital stuff. Always need help

Soccer AM was very successful – what do you think made it so popular? Style? Timing? Content?

It was successful as we had loads of football clips on it – people love football . It was fun, laid back and didn’t try too hard. excited

ChannelBee looks like a really good website – were you involved from the very start, or were you hired to be the ‘face’?

No it was my idea. I love the internet and spend so much time on it I thought it would be good to get involved and make quality content.

Is it true that you auditioned to be a Blue Peter presenter in the 90s? If so, who got that role?

Yes its true, I had an agent who thought it would be a good idea, she also thought I should get elocution lessons. Tim Vincent got the job

Andrew Collins is a scriptwriter, journalist and broadcaster, as well as the author of a trilogy of humorous memoirs “Where Did It All Go Right?”, “Heaven Knows I’m Miserable Now” and “That’s Me In The Corner”. These days he has teamed up with comedian Richard Herring for a popular podcast which is branching out again into a live gig.

Andrew Collins – broadcaster, author, podcaster, etc. – which do you find most satisfying?

I find whatever I’m doing at any given time the most satisfying. Sometimes I wish I had specialised over 20 years, but I love the unknown

Herring loses his voice in a bizarre cider-based accident. He wants you to keep podcast going – who is your new “other half”?

It would be like Queen without Freddie Mercury. There would be no podcast with RKH. Although Paul Rodgers apparently has an attic.

Are you looking forward to taking the podcast live? Are you not worried it might change the loft-based dynamics?

We’ve done two live podcasts, both lots of fun. This is our first paying gig, so we fear not giving value for money more than anything else
