I Want Candy: promotional interviews

I recently came across two more promotional interviews for I Want Candy online.
The first one is a podcast from The Movie Cast which can be downloaded here. You can hear Tom briefly about 20 minutes into the podcast.
The second interview can be read in full on the website Your Local Guardian
So Leatherhead provides the backdrop as the normal, humdrum Anytown that secretly holds these young men with big ideas, who move to the bright lights of London. Sadly, though, there was no cast outing to Sutton for filming. Tom Riley says: "I never got down there, which is a shame. The only filming we did outside was done in Middlesex, I don't think there was anyone in Leatherhead who was willing to give up their house for a week! I feel like I owe it a debt as it has Leatherhead on all the posters and signs and everything. "We had to make up some of the names of places we talk about because of copyright infringement. We had a kebab shop called Abekebabra but we had to change it as one exists. "I think it got chosen because people will understand what kind of feel it has to it. I don't mean that as a criticism to Leatherhead but the name of it has this caché of being a very British place in the suburbs, and it creates this incongruous mix with the teen comedy elements."
