Q: Collectively, can you name your top five sci-fi moments or scenes? 

SP: OK, I�ll go first. I like the scene in Star Wars when Luke is saved by Wedge and the X-Wing comes at the screen and then we go out through the back of it. That�s a good one. 

NF: OK, for me, I know the scene in Close Encounters, when he�s at the railroad junction and everything is going off. That�s a very famous one. But my favourite part comes straight afterwards when it�s a big wide shot of a single-track road and his van is on it, and he�s covered by a giant shadow which just goes across the field and he never knows about it. 

SP: I think that might have been an addition in the Special Edition. 

NF: I love it. The new Blu-Ray one as well really enhances it. It�s amazing. 

SP: I like the opening scene of Blade Runner when you first see the Tyrell Corporation and the flying cars. 

NF: I�m going to say, on a similar vibe, when Korben Dallas [from The Fifth Element] is eating a Chinese meal from a floating junk and it floats off. 

SP: I love the art direction in that film. And I think this is number five�I would probably say the moment when they beam Gorignak on board in Galaxy Quest and he beats up all those Sarris soldiers and then he floats into space and goes �Aaahhh!�  

Q: OK, name your top five coolest spacecrafts in cinema? 

SP: Well, number one�shall we say it together? 

SP/NF: The Millennium Falcon. 

NF: I know it�s not a spacecraft, but can we say AT-AT?  

SP: It�s a lovely vehicle. 

NF: You could just fill it with Star Wars ships right? What�s the ship in Black Hole? That�s pretty cool� 

SP: That had a name, didn�t it? The Tantalus or something� 

NF: The Mothership from Close Encounters�that�s amazing. 

SP: That�s a lovely ship. The simple TIE-Fighter. The original white TIE-Fighter.  

Q: And your top five favourite sci-fi characters? 

SP: Excluding Paul, who is now my all-time favourite, I would say E.T. 

NF: Luke Skywalker. 

SP: He doesn�t get enough love, Luke Skywalker.  

NF: I know.  

SP: Roy Neary.  

NF: Yes.  

SP: I knew you�d be thinking about that one. Er�Bobby Fleshlight. 

NF: Leeloo Dallas Multipass from Fifth Element.  

SP: My next favourite would be Rick Deckard, just because he�s a great character. 

Q: OK, to the geek test. Simple �yes or no� answers. Have you ever named a pet after a gaming, literary or B-movie character? 

NF: No. 

SP: No. 

Q: Have you ever quoted Yoda in a conversation or debate? 

SP/NF: Yes! 

Q: Have you ever waited in line for over two hours for movie tickets or to buy a new game or technical gadget? 

SP: No. 

NF: Let me just say, I�d never wait in line for anything. I hate it. So no! 

Q: Have you ever gone to multiple showings of the same movie dressed as one of the characters? 

SP: No. 

Laughter� 

NF: Sorry! No.                                                                       

Q: Have you ever formed a club of any sort or joined a fan club? 

SP: Yes, I think when I was younger I joined the Star Wars fanclub. 

NF: I think I was into canal boats more than that, so I was probably a member of the canal club. 

SP: Canal geek! 

Q: Have you ever bid for comic book memorabilia on eBay? 

SP: Yes. I bought a Darth Vader helmet at auction. 

NF: I�ve never bid for anything on eBay. 

Q: Do you own and wear T-shirts relating to fandom or comic book humour? 

SP/NF [looking at their T-shirts]: Yeah. 

Q: Have you ever played War Hammer, which is a fantasy tabletop miniature game? 

SP: I haven�t actually. I�m fascinated by it. I�ve played D&D. 

NF: I�ve played D&D. I�ve never played War Hammer, though. 

Q: Have you ever indexed or alphabetised and catalogued any personal collection? 

SP/NF: Yes, DVDs. 

Q: Have you ever studied, learned or created an artificial language? 

SP: Did we? 

NF: Nah. It means �no� in my made-up language! Nah.
