Since the information thus far volunteered doesn't tell us much about the personal likes and dislikes of David and Chris, we asked one of the greatest reporters of all time to interview them.

St John: Do you like dancing?
Chris: Yes.
David: Dan? Of course, he's a great chap.

St John: What are your favourite colours?
Chris: Oranges and lemons.
David: The 5th Regiment of the Royal Horse Artillery.

St John: And food?
Chris: All.
David: Sandwiches? Crisps? You wouldn't 'ave to use a knife and fork for them.

St John: I meant what is your favourite food?
David: Oh, I see. That would 'ave to be curd tarts. They're 'and food as well.
Chris: I don't like olives.
David: I didn't know she made curd tarts.

St John: Do you support the Monarchy?
Chris: No.
David: Yes, to the tune of about 14 pence a year.

St John: Do you have any strong dislikes?
Chris: No.
David: Charles Atlas.

St John: Do you ever agree with each other on important questions?
Chris: No.
David: Yes.
Chris: Sometimes.
David: Never!

St John: We don't seem to be hitting it off, do we?
Chris: I think you're divine.
David: Well, that's a revelation.
Chris: And just what do you mean by that?
David: I mean it's an eye-opener, that's what!
Chris: Oh, you're jealous, are you?
David: Me? Jealous? Why should you think I'm jealous? I just mean it's pretty obvious you're getting all gooey-eyed over this bloke 'cos he's a saint. You'd fall for anything with a halo on.
Chris: It's a hell of a lot more attractive than that old green corduroy flat cap you're always wearing.
David: I don't always wear an old green corduroy flat cap. Sometimes I wear an old grey moleskin flat cap.
Chris: Well, it's not the same as a halo, is it?
David: So a flat cap isn't good enough for you any more?
Chris: I didn't say that!
David: You as good as said it.
Chris: Well it's not what I meant!
David: So what did you mean? First of all, you call this bloke "divine" and then you say my flat cap's not as good as his tatty old halo. Sounds to me like you're trying to get off with him.
Chris: Don't be stupid!
David: So I'm stupid as well, am I? I bet you don't think Johnny here is stupid.
Chris: Oh! I give up!

St John: Er.. Shall we terminate this interview?
Chris: Yes.
David: Yes.


Chris: Now... who's this Olive?
