But having said that your character was certainly the best in the series! Can you tell us any stories about the making of the series? And is there to be another series?

Hi Jill I dont like to tell stories out of school except that every one was great and we had a great time....There is another series due out anytime now. hope this answers your question Jill

Hi Mrs Albion Our real names are Thomas Derbyshire and Robert Harper...We chose Cannon and Ball because we like the name Cannon after a rock singer in the 50's called Freddy Cannon....and Rock on Tommy came about after we heard David Essex sing Rock on. hope this answers your question
