EXTENSIVE INTERVIEWS FROM THE PRINTED MAG:

Alan Moore
Alan Moore

The author of Watchmen and From Hell discusses comics, comedy, movies and magic over copious amounts of tea.

If you put the words in the right order with the pictures you can create a psychedelic state, a fugue state.

The Peep Show writers on their show and characters:

We thought it would be a good way to do comedy, to get a new perspective, to get inside someone's head.
 

Michael Palin
Michael Palin

The ex-Python who won a BAFTA and found a whole new fan base with his travel series.

Along with the fish-slapping dance, I want that on my gravestone: 'shot by Robert De Niro'

Graham Linehan

The writer of The IT Crowd, Father Ted, Black Books and Big Train also wrote for The Day Today and co-wrote The Fast Show’s Ted & Ralph:

Most people think a show is made up by the cast as they go.

You’re an idiot and I am a coward

Richard Herring
Richard Herring

He's written for radio and TV, and his 2008 stand-up show The Headmaster's Son earned rave reviews.

A lot of younger comedians tell me that they have been inspired by me and Stu, which is really lovely

SHORTER INTERVIEWS FROM THE B&W ISSUES:

Terry Gilliam
Terry Gilliam

'A life in pictures' - an interview from the very first b&w issue of Mustard.

So my advice is, have no interest in furthering your career and just follow your heart. I mean, that's the only way you'll really be happy anyway

Comedy Store Players
Comedy Store Players

Backstage with Neil Mullarkey and Richard Vranch at the Comedy Store.

We got a bit lost walking to the stage through the kitchens - all very Spinal Tap...
