When heatworld meets the cast of Misfits, well, all but Antonia Thomas (she’s off filming don’t you know), they all seem a bit worn out. Except for new guy Joe, he’s as excitable as a little puppy. He takes off his sweater in preparation and gets stuck inside it.

If it weren’t for his Northern twang and lack of a humongous blonde quiff, this could be one half of Jedward! The guys seem relaxed though. They are chatting away with beers in hand; Joe implements the classic pub trick of banging the bottom of your beer bottle of the top of another’s on an unsuspecting victim causing both their beers to fizz everywhere.

Clearly we are gonna have to keep an eye on this one! heatworld attacks a momentary spell of silence.

Hi Misfits! Welcome to heatworld

Everyone: Hi

Congrats on 3rd series. Did you imagine you would be sitting here on the eve of a 3rd season?

IR: No.
LS: Yeah.
IR/NSJ: Did you?
LS: I have a lot of faith in this show. I honestly had a lot of faith in this show and I think it’s really good without being big-headed or arrogant. So yeah.

The success of the show has built and built, with the BAFTA and then the ratings were through the roof for E4 for the 2nd series, was it is about the show that appeals?

IW: I think it’s…ah no that’s shite. (Heat encourages Iwan to keep going.) It’s a programme about young people that really gets what’s going on.
LS: It taps into a generation.
JG: Every character is a stereotype but with a twist. Viewers can identify with the characters.

New series means new cast…Hello Joe. What can we expect from your character in the new season…more of this kind of behaviour?

NSJ: We’ve got this horrible guy called Joseph Gilgun.
LS: Right let’s all have 5 minutes.
JG: Lauren hates it coz I can never shut up…(Heat understands).

Let’s have it in five words then

JG: From the new, from, from the me…ah for fuck’s sake!
IR: That’s five words.
JG: You can expect a lot of frills and spills, he struggles with his emotional side and as a result of that he has more of a problem than a power.
LS: Very good, 18 seconds.

Is he more of a Misfit?

IR: I think he is as we have all become friends and he comes into the gang.
NST: He is a Misfit amongst the Misfits.

Is he made to feel welcome?

NST: He is tolerated.
IR: The gang think that they have just got rid of this loud-mouthed Irishman and then all of a sudden…
LS: All of a sudden we just have this random, Northern twat…
IR: But in the show…
(Heat laughs.)
JG: Basically Rudy is there to replace that element that Nathan filled.
IR: He is Keith Moon to Robert’s (Nathan from series 1 & 2) Mick Jagger.

So the new powers, are they better or worse than your previous powers?

LS: They’re different. I don’t get to use mine as much as my previous. Mine is more funny than anything else.
IR: This series is more about the characters. The show is written around the characters and then the powers are added in afterwards so it has to stand up by itself. This series is particularly good at that.

As far as Simon and Alisha’s relationship is concerned can we expect fireworks?

IR: Yes
LS: It’s lovely.
IR: They develop a really beautiful relationship. It has its ups and downs so ‘fireworks’ is definitely the right word.

Can we expect saucy times ahead for the rest of the cast?

Everyone: OH YES!
IR: Everyone gets involved.
LS: Kelly’s in love! Kelly has a long term boyfriend.
IR: Everyone gets a shag.
JG: I have several.

The show continues to push the envelope. Does it continue to do that?

Everyone: YES!
LS: Joe’s in his element here.
NSJ: And their’s as well!
(Cut to Lauren LHFAO!)
IR: There is an episode about Nazi’s and one about zombie cheerleaders. One of the heads of channel 4 saw the Nazi episode and asked us how we could have made a film out of a one hour episode so it was a real compliment.

Would you choose a life of superpowers over a life without superpowers?

NSJ: Ordinary life has its own problems so I would rather not complicate that with superpowers.
IR: My life is complicated enough.
JG: Fuck that I’d have one…I’d have a massive schlong!

Moving on! For fans with crushes out there are you guys single or in relationships?

LS: No I’ve been taken for four years.
JG: Up the arse I might add!
LS: Joe’s never gonna get a girlfriend.
JG: Single and I don’t think I will ever get a girlfriend. I’m useless and too busy making a knob of myself. Does anyone in here wanna sleep?
NSJ: (Assessing the room)…Silence!

The boys were recently in a very fashionable shoot for FHM. Do you consider yourselves to be quite trendy and follow today’s fashion trends?

LS: I’m not. I shop in Topshop. I’m into leggings Ug Boots, Jack Wills, Paul Boutique..cough, cough, Paul Boutique! I have my own little style going on and I like that.
IR: I got a little bit annoyed when dessert boots came into fashion because it was like, for fuck’s sake man, now I can’t wear them anymore.
JG: Everyone’s so different now it’s much harder [to be fashionable].

Can we expect to see you guys in any side projects soon?

IR: No. We get locked away between filming.
JS: (To Iwan) You’re doing something you lying twat, you’re doing a film.
IW: Yeah I know…I’m joking.
NSJ: I did a film.
LS: Already?

When does series 3 start?

Everyone: Don’t know.

Can we look forward to a fourth season?

LS: We don’t know anything.
IR: We just get let out to do them one at a time.

Would you be happy to do a fourth?

IR: I would I want to buy a barge!

You seem to have a very good group dynamic. Did it change when Robert left?

JG: We stopped getting on when Lauren won a BAFTA.
IW: Joe has just slotted in. When he got cast I was over the moon.

How has the show affected your social lives?

IR: Sometimes people can bother you but if it wasn’t for those people we wouldn’t have jobs so you take it on the chin.

Fun questions time. Where is the strangest place you’ve been sick?

NSJ: In a skip.
LS: That’s a good one.
IR: On my left nipple.
LS: On my Mum after she ate a banana. I was 18. I was absolutely steaming, so my mum put me in bed. Then in the morning she came up eating a banana and you know the sound it makes when you eat a banana is quite dry, so I started retching and then I threw up on her.
JG: In a nicked car.

What’s your ultimate fantasy?

LS: To own a pub.
IW: Go on stage and play a Radiohead song.

Finally, what is the best night out the Misfits have had?

(Everyone looks at each other)
Everyone: BRIGHTON!
LS: That’s all we can say on that one.

heatworld tries to dig but the Misfits don’t budge.

• The new series of Misfits starts soon on E4.
