INTERVIEWS

Since the first issue in February 1999, The Chap has been inviting stars of stage, screen and gutter to reply to our questionnaire. Although at first it seemed that most of the ideal respondents were languishing in various graveyards across the globe (Le Mesurier, Howard, Niven, Brummell et al), upon closer inspection there appeared to be a number of suitable candidates still (only just, in some cases) living. Here you will find the replies of a select handful of those who responded to our request. Those who deigned not to reply are probably worth mentioning as well:

Christopher Eubank (prize-fighter)

AA Gill (restaurant & television critic)

Terry Jones (comedic historian)

Michael Palin (comedic traveller)

Tom Baker (thespian)

Brian Sewell (comedic art critic)

Penelope Keith (posh thespian)

Helena Bonham-Carter (goth thespian)

Sir Roger Moore (comedic James Bond)

Tom Wolfe (author)

Will Self (author)
