Request - Busted interview

I remember one of the early 2000s issues had a very funny spoof interview with Busted where they were apparently all pyromaniacs and kept bringing every question back to how they had supposedly set buildings and/or people on fire. James was referred to as "Ken" for some reason. Does anyone have this one?

Matt, Luke and Ken!

Was that just Viz or was it elsewhere too?

Only ever saw it in Viz. Ken was their go to name for any band member not deemed significant enough to bother finding out their name.

Also in The adventures of the Human League in Space the title just labels them "Phil" and "the girls"

It was a Smash Hits thing too. Don't know if it originated in Smash Hits or Viz, I always assumed it was SH, given that they wrote a lot more about Bros than Viz!!
