What, you want MORE Rogue Traders, child? Fine: here's part two of our voodoo intervoo. Er...

TOTP: Moving on to the voodoo side of things now, if you could work a hex to have love, luck or money, which would you pick and why?
James: But isn't a hex - that's something bad, isn't it?
TOTP: We did some research on the internet that said it could be used in this way, but we're a bit doubtful as to how reliable our sources are...
Natalie: I'll say luck, because luck can mean that you'll get money and love.
James: Ooh, good answer. I'll have what she's having! I was gonna say love, y'know...
Natalie: ...but you'll be broke. [Laughs.]
James: No, I think I'll still say love.
TOTP: Awwww. Have you ever felt like you've been cursed?
Natalie: Just this morning, when...no! [Giggles.]
James: I'm not actually religious, but I have to say I've felt blessed, which is the opposite. I've always felt that I've had a lucky life, and even though I'm sitting here talking to you for Top of the Pops right now, which is a surreal... I'm not entirely surprised. Not out of arrogance, at all, but just because I expect that things will go well in my life. so I think I have the opposite of that.
TOTP: Who would you make a voodoo doll of, and what would you do to it?
Natalie: Oh God, an ex of mine...
James: Who was that geezer on Channel Five today?
Natalie: ...I would poke it, I would pinprick it, put lipstick on his cheeks...and I'm not talking about the face. [Laughs.] I would rip that thing up! Yeah. [To James.] You?
James: I'm just trying to remember, there was a geezer that I saw on TV today, he was like a British Jerry Springer. What was he called?
TOTP: Jeremy Kyle?
James: Yeah! I would love to have a voodoo doll of him, and contort him as he was on TV...
[At this point a glass spontaneously rolls over and drops off the table, much to everyone's surprise.]
Everyone: Oh-ho-hoo!!
James: That was weird!
Natalie: Where was that?
TOTP: That was Jeremy Kyle, doing that telekinetically...
Natalie: [to James] Did you do that?
James: Where was it?
Natalie: [getting spooked] Where?
Record company person: [to Natalie] You just knocked it off.
Natalie: With my...? How could I knock it over there? [Incidentally, TOTP was looking at Natalie when this all happened, and we didn't see her do it. Spooky!]
James: It must have rolled down there. But it was still very spooky! [Attempting to get back on course] Jeremy...what's he called?
TOTP: Kyle.
James: Yes, because when he's saying "I think what you're doing is really really brave, why don't you tell us more about it?", what he's REALLY saying is "I haven't seen you cry enough on TV, please can you cry some more, or otherwise I'll make it even more painful for you." I'd like to - you know that Jim Carrey movie, Liar Liar? - have a thing like that where he has to keep telling the truth. That'd be cool. But I must say it was a very entertaining show.
TOTP: Are you not concerned that when you're super-famous and have your own action figures, people will use those as voodoo dolls?
James: Ooh, yes. That is something I actually have a contingency plan in place for.
Natalie: We'll make sure that they're not pokeable.
James: I think that's the quote of the day!
TOTP: That one's going in the sidebar!
James: "We'll have to make sure we're not pokeable!" That's great! [Natalie cackles.]
TOTP: If you could have complete control over someone else for a day, who would it be and what would you make them do?
James: It's going to be a bit rude...but I might choose Jordan and just have a really long bath.
Natalie: What?
James: No, can I change that?
TOTP: By all means!
James: Well, I'd like to have a really long bath. Actually, do you know Famke Janssen, the woman from...
TOTP: [a little too eagerly] Oh yes, from X-Men.
James: Actually I'd much rather be Famke Janssen and just have a really long bath, one that would take the whole day.
Natalie: [confused] Was that the question?
James: Well yeah, kind of! Who would you like to take over control of for a day.
Natalie: Is it who would you like to be, or who you'd like to...
James: ...take control over?
TOTP: It can be either, we don't mind.
Natalie: Can it be anyone alive or dead?
TOTP: Yeah, absolutely.
Natalie: Ooh, I don't know. I'd like to take over Marilyn Monroe and stand over that air thing. [Giggles.]
