Iain your hair is gorgeous, don't worry what Hacker says!! When you were 10, what did you want to be [apart from a TV presenter!!] and why?

Hacker you are super cute and adorable!! My grandad loves you and Shaun the Sheep! What was it like the first time you were on live TV? - AquaFlyingFlamingo

Iain: When I was ten I wanted to be taller (a vet).

Hacker: To answer your question about me, it was brilliant! Iain almost didn't show up and I very nearly had to do it all on my own. Because I am professional.

Iain: I am not.

Do you two even like each other?? xxx - MauveAirRose

Iain: No, filth!

Hacker: He's just joking. We lived together for two and a half years. But now we are mortal enemies. Again, just kidding.

Iain: Kidding? Not really.

Hacker: He is... really.

Iain: No, seriously, not at all...

Iain do you get upset when hacker meets new people on hacker time - SunstoneQuietPony

Iain: Yes! Yes. That was originally a show with us both in it, but I've been done over by Jedward.

If You was in a boy band what would it be called? - PeridotRollingPuppy

Iain: It'd be called "HACKER... and Iain"

Hacker: Can you put 'Iain' in a smaller font? Iain is not much of a singer. His voice is like a frightened goat.

Iain: That's because once I was stuck up a mountain with a man called Terrance.

Hacker: Who offered him... the chance of a lifetime!

Iain: I didn't take it, I will never forget that day.

Hacker: The end.

Hacker: It's very gouda of you. (That's a cheese joke).

Iain: Hacker's hair is the best, it's like a furry zoo. It's like a swan in the night.

Hacker: It's like a worried goat in the twilight. I like beige. Do you?

Hiya Iain & Hacker, my questions are Iain - why are us obsessed with ur hair?

Hacker how come u like sue barker so much? - SapphireLightningPuffin

Iain: I'm obsessed with my hair because once when I was eight I got my head stuck in a fence, and a goat gnawed off my hair... ahhh, the memories.

Hacker: Sue Barker! Is a lovely woman. She is sturdy by any standards. And she's got lovely hair...

Iain: Thanks Hacks.

Hacker: Not you!! I meant Sue's lovely golden locks! Oh, Sue. Can I replace Tuffers on Question of Sport? Please. Thank you.

Hacker, whats your favourite meat produce? - PeachNoseyStarfish

Hacker: Hello, you! I do like meat produce, but I will digress for a bit. When I was young, I once walked by a lake. And I peered into the lake. And I notice sommat.

Iain: A monkey!

Hacker: Not a monkey Iain. It was my reflection, my handsome reflection. As I stared into my own 2D watery eyes, I began to dream of yesteryear, and my thoughts wandered to freshly mown grass... What was the question again?

Iain: His favourite is meat paste.

Hacker: Oh yeeeeeeeeahhhhhh!

Hacker, Do Ian's feet smell?? Ian, If you had to describe your self as one character from confrintation street who would it be? - BlueZingyHamster

Hacker: Oh his feet do smell, they smell of scampi and chips!

Iain: I would describe myself as... actually, this has reminded me of an anecdote. Once, when I was a little girl, I was playing hopscotch with my good friend James which is odd, because you don't need to roll a dice in hopscotch. Anyway, to cut a long story short, the man got covered in flan.

Hacker: That wasn't the question!

Iain: I would play Elsie Hateraisin.

What is your favourite dance move? - StarstoneSmileyButterfly

Iain: Zumba! All of it.

Hacker: Mine is when you go *dances* ooh...aff...sfgsg....

Iain: This doesn't translate to a webchat.

Hi my question is Iain how do you keep a staight face when hacker is being stupid plus Hacker dont you think Iain is holding you back - GreyPlayingSeal

Hacker: Yes, Iain is holding me back - he stands on my tail.

Iain: I am the brains behind the operation.

Hacker: You can't even play Operation.

Iain: On the topic of operation, there was once a small pelican...

Hacker: That was not the question, Iain! How many times?

Iain: Get off my leg!

Hacker: It's like a leg of lamb.

If you could get away from each other for a day what would you do - JetCupcakeFrog

Hacker: I'm off!!

Iain: Great idea, let's go!

Hacker: I would stay at work and do a webchat all day. My lovely fans deserve to hear my ramblings.

Iain: I've got a load of meat paste back at the flat!

Hacker: Right fans, I'm off. I've got meat paste awaiting me. Lay it up nice and thick on a piece of bread.

Iain: Stay in school, do all your homework, and don't forget to watch all your favourite documentries on the iPlayer.

Hacker: That's catchy, Iain.

Iain: That's why I'm as successful as I am.

Hacker: Right, taxi's here!

Both: Lots of love from us! Byyyeeeee, see ya cockers!
