| TOTP: What international event would you be most likely to streak at?
Ben: It's going to have to be the biggest stage in the world. If you're going to do it, do it at the World Cup final.
Luke: Maybe the international peace conference.
Ben: The Wimbledon final might be appropriate.
Luke: That's nice. With a couple of tennis balls...
Ben: Or the last Top of the Pops!

TOTP: So you're covering all bases basically - sport, politics, music...
Luke: I think so. There's always a place for streaking.
TOTP: So would you have a test run or would you jump in at the deep end?
Ben: If you were going to do the World Cup final you'd probably go to a Brentford game and do it there first.
Luke: Yeah, it's logistics.
Ben: You need to know where you're running and where the stewards are...
Luke: And you'd have friends barging the stewards and... it's just planning.
TOTP: Would it worry you that your streak would be televised or would that add to the thrill?
Ben: I think if you're going to do it, do it. Get it out to as many people as possible.
Luke: World stage!
TOTP: What personal message would you emblazon on your person?
Ben: Circles and Satellites, out on the 24th. [The album's release has gone back to September now, so ignore this bit - Ed]
Luke: And I'd just write it anywhere.
TOTP: Even on your... manly area?
Ben and Luke: [In unison] Yeah. A couple of times.
Ben: I think if you've got a message, then you've got to write it somewhere round there because that's what people are drawn to, isn't it?
Luke: Personally, if I wanted to get a message across, I'd send a hot woman out instead, in my place. I just think it would draw more attention.
TOTP: Would you have any streaking accessories? A cape perhaps or a mask?
Ben: I'd take one of the policeman's helmets and run past him.
Luke: You'd get done for...
Ben: ... Impersonating a policeman. I'm pretty sure...
Luke: A cape would get caught in things. It's not really practical is it?
Ben: It's quite showbiz though... I think a mask would be handy if you wanted to remain slightly anonymous.

TOTP: Wouldn't you worry that your mum might see you?
Luke: She's seen it all before, to be honest.
Ben: Yeah.
TOTP: Huh? Do you have a tendency to streak at home?
Luke: No, but she's changed my nappy enough times. Even recently. I think she'd be a bit embarrassed.
Ben: She'd be a bit disappointed with me, but she'd see the funny side eventually.
TOTP: What would you say if she suggested doing a tandem streak?
Luke: Whoooaaahhh that wouldn't happen. I don't want...
Ben: That is disgusting.
Luke: Yeah, unreal.
TOTP: Well why wouldn't you do that simple thing for your dear old mum?
Ben: I don't know, I mean there's something about the fact that... I don't want to see my mum naked for starters and I don't really want many other people to see her either. It seems wrong. I think if you're going to do it, it's the sort of thing you have to go out and do on your own. Be strong.
TOTP: How about streaking as a band?
Ben: One on all four corners of the pitch!
Luke: I don't think we'd ever go streaking together.
Ben: We don't even especially us two take our shirts off at the gigs.
Luke: We're musicians not male models.
TOTP: Would you hurdle anything in your naked state?
Ben: A few stewards.
Luke: No, I wanna have kids some day.

TOTP: So you're worried about potential injury?
Luke: I'm worried about my tackle, yeah. Imagine getting it bashed on the hurdle.
TOTP: You could grab a policeman's helmet for protection.
Luke: [Muses] And then put it back on his head...
TOTP: How about a forward roll or some gymnastics to spice things up?
Luke: To be honest, if I was going to do a streak, I'd probably take the time to learn a front flip.
Ben: Yeah. Run in and do a series of eighteen back flips.
TOTP: Would you worry about doing yourself an injustice?
Luke: I don't know. I think people are pretty understanding.
Ben: I don't think so. Blokes are just going to jeer anyway and I don't think it's going to impress women either way. I don't think that it can enhance your sexual prowess.
TOTP: So you don't think that's what women go for?
Ben: I think they'd be like, yeah, he's got a massive penis, but he's just run across the field naked [At this point, the band's PR walks in and everyone looks a bit embarrassed].
TOTP: What tactics would you employ to avoid the police?
Luke: Other than not streaking in the first place...
Ben: Just make sure that you know where you're running to and... plan it out well, like we said.

TOTP: You're getting into this now, aren't you?
Ben: For starters, you've got to make sure you've got a good sprint on. So you've got the speed on them. And ducking and diving everybody always loves that bit.
Luke: Yeah that's the best bit.
Ben: Isn't it? When the steward comes on and there's this greased up naked guy doing his thing and then...
Luke: Actually if you were going to do it, you'd grease yourself up so they just couldn't get a hold of you like a bar of soap.
Ben: I'm not going to help you with that by the way. Also, there's the great bit where you do a bit of the ducking and diving and then you finally hand yourself over and you salute the crowd.
Ben: Oh God, I tell you what. It's when they grab them get the arms behind the back and two guys grab the legs and they're horizontally carried off. That is... undignified.
TOTP: Which fellow musician would you least like to see streaking?
Ben: You wouldn't want to see Geldof streaking.
TOTP: Don't you think he could pull it off?
Luke: I guess he probably could. How about... I don't know. I basically would not like to see a fellow man streaking. That's the point I'm making.
Ben: I'd rather watch a game of football rather than a man's penis. And you can quote me on that.
