But i've slightly changed it :) So, why does Don wear womens clothes when he's around the house? :P
I hope to see more amazing episodes :D

My question to you is, as you mentioned that you and Noel are good friends, would there be any chance of you two collaborating again in the near future? Also, are you a fan of Jonathan Bon Jovi in real life?

I think how not to live your life is a 5* sitcom and is an entertaing comedy for a mass audiance.
Just a quick question m8, would you consider a tour/episode in mersyside and incorparate a rabbit into this? they make great pets and i really advise coming to merseyside as i'm sure u'd hate it ... lol

I'm kinda starstruck just asking a question which might not even be answered.
So heres my questions;
In the Mighty Boosh you played Jonny Two hats and in your new series of How not to live your life Noel appears. How did you come to appear in the mighty boosh and are you guys friends?
What jobs did you do before you became an actor?
What was your influence to make How not to live your life?
Will Abby ever return in the program?
I hope some of these get answered :)
