We put your questions to Son Of Dork and here's how it all went down... and down!

Stephanie: What kind of things inspire you to write songs? Chris: Rock stars with lots of kids they don't know about is a big inspiration at the moment. Steve: Films. James: Something you see in a film that makes you laugh and you write about that. That's quite a common denominator I reckon. TOTP: Example? James: On this album? Chris: Wasn't 'Holly' based on a film thing? James: Yeah, a film called Roxanne... Do you know it? TOTP: Oh, the Steve Martin thing, a remake of Cyrano De Bergerac? That one? James: Er, yeah... stuff like that... Cathy: Dave, what make of hair dye do you use to dye your hair? Dave: Donald, what hair dye do I use? Donald (Dave's hair stylist, we guess): Oil bleach. Dave: Oil bleach. Becca: James, what's different to life with SOD than with Busted? Steve: There's four other members. Chris: Better looking band members. James: [Laughs] This band feels more like a gang than Busted did, to walk around with, y'know. You feel like you've got a bigger entourage. Chris: Also, James feels bigger in this band cos no one is 6' 4". James: Yes. I feel taller. Michael: What was it like making the video for 'Eddie's Song'? James: Great fun! Dave: Most surreal day of my life, I tell ya! James: There's a lot of hanging around when you're shooting a video, so when there's lots of cast members... good looking cast members... good looking female cast members, to help pass the time...staff that we can get to know, and look at the casting sheet to get their numbers cos we're too scared to ask them in person, then it's all good. Pippa: Why did you choose Dave to play the role of Eddie in your new video? Dave: We didn't really choose. We got nominated. The management said we had to do it. Chris: Well, we thought that Dave would do a fair job of making that character come to life. James: We wanted to put Dave in there because he doesn't sing. So we wanted to get Dave noticed. Danny: Er, you can't miss Dave! James: We wanted to introduce people to Dave. So we thought we'd make him Eddie. Dave actually became Eddie during that video shoot. He came away with a lot of girlfriends. Leanne: What is the relevance of milk in the video? James: Oh, because we weren't allowed beer. Steve: No, wasn't it because Oasis did it in one of their vids? Chris: They did, for 'The Hindu Times'. James: Oh right. Well, maybe it was because they couldn't use beer either. Evelien: Do you guys cry when you see a sad movie? Dave: Yes, a lot. Chris: There's nothing wrong with shedding a tear... Steve: I've shed a tear or two. It's fine when you're in the moment. James: Free Willy, when the whale jumps over the barrier, and the water's dripping. That's when I cry. Leila: What's the most embarrassing thing that you've done in front of a girl? Dave: The most embarrassing thing was when I was Eddie in the video and I fell out of my thong. Steve: I've been sick in front of a girl... Danny: Same for me. Too many er, milks. James: Once I had a cold, and when I have a cold I produce ridiculous amounts of bogies and snot. I hate sniffing, so I do this thing where I blow a little bit and it all stores up in my nose ready for blowing later. And then through the day it becomes more condensed and compact. So I had to remember not to breathe through my nose. But I forgot, so I breathed through my nose, which was full up with bogies, and everything just came out onto my mouth. I was covered in what was in my nose. I had to put my hand over my mouth and walk away. Chloe: Is It true David is dating Kelly Osbourne? Dave: No. James: They've got kids. TOTP: Were you ever going out with her? Dave: No. TOTP: Would you like to? Dave: No. Charlotte: Who would you most like to go on a date with (in the pop world)? Steve: Gwen Stefani - because she's so fit and I know for a fact she wants my babies. Danny: Er... Rachel Stevens. James: [Sarcastically] I'd like to go out with Christina Aguilera. Even though she's married. In fact, if she walked in the room, I'd definitely go for it. TOTP: What is it about her, James? James: [More sarcastically] She looks like she might have a nice personality. She seems really sincere in interviews. Chris: I've developed quite a crush on Kimberley from Girls Aloud. I keep seeing her cos we live in the same complex. TOTP: Dave? Chris: [Coughing] Pete Burns. Dave. It's all about Elisha Cuthbert. James: Madonna! Oh my god! I saw Madonna in Nobu the other day and she looked FIT! In all her videos I've always thought that she's starting to get old but in real life she's all backwards and young again. She looks hot and young and fit in real life. Ellie and Laura: James, apart from playing the guitar, what are your hobbies? James: Ping pong, tennis, and I like to surf in the summer time. And in the winter I like to go bear watching. Laura: When are you going on tour? Chris: There's no times set yet but we're definitely going to tour some time around the summer. TOTP: Globally? We get a lot of emails from fans overseas... Chris: We might be going to Japan. Oh, and Dublin, but that's not really overseas... Steve: Don't say that! Danny's never been abroad in his life! Danny: It's true. Skegness. That's it. James: Don't you think that's amazing? Danny's never actually been over water? TOTP: You can make his dreams come true. Steve: Yeah, just like Michael Jackson! Dave: And I can stay at your house as well, James? Galle: What happened to your junior Eurovision band, Steve? Steve: Well, the band was doing quite well, but it came down to choosing between this band or that band so I chose this band. James: He ditched Mr Cheerful for this band and he'd ditch us for Green Day. Dave: You made Steve's dream come true! James: Yeah, I'm like the Make A Wish foundation! TOTP: Like Jimmy Saville... Steve: Or Willy Wonka! James: Yeah like Willy Wonka. I like that one better! Lizzie: How would you see yourselves in five years time? Danny: Fat and bald. Dave: Hopefully with a full beard. James: Yeah! Maybe one of those Craig David things, but then I'd shave that off cos it looks so silly. TOTP: So, starting from when? James: Starting from now. Danny's teaching me how to shave properly, y'know, so I don't go against the grain. Steve: [Showing his chest hair] 18 years old, that is. TOTP: You've NEVER had that since you were born! Steve: 18 years... Katherine: If you could change one musical event in history, what would it be and why? Steve: Elvis dying. Chris: Lennon getting shot. James: Yep, definitely. But I would like to change the interview that Michael Jackson did with Martin Bashir that made him look like a complete weirdo. Sadiqa: You whisper something in 'Holly, I'm The One', what do you whisper? James: Er, actually I can't say. Because it's rude. I actually didn't think anyone would notice that. I just wanted to slip it in there. But I can't say, because it's rude. And I don't swear in interviews. Lea: James, do you really think that you are a loser? James: No. I don't think we are losers. Chris: I think the underlying message was that losers can be special as well. OK? James: I have a book that someone gave to me called Geek Chic and when you read that, you just think: "Why do people take the mickey out of people who are branded geeks and losers?" They still do it now, to people like Bill Gates. Sigh!
