The young cast of Misfits were on Friday Night With Jonathan Ross last night, in case you missed it. They were there to promote the recent DVD release of the teen superhero drama, but them landing a spot on Ross' sofa surely means one of two things: (1) renowned comic book nerd Jonathan Ross is such a fan that he insisted on booking them, or (2) plans are afoot to spread the word about Misfits beyond its niche E4 audience, perhaps by repeating the show on Channel 4...

Anyway, the interview was light but fun. Ross is clearly a Misfits fan and made a point to really sell the show to the studio audience (most of whom were probably unaware of it), and I find it fun to spot the similarities and difference the actors have to their characters. There wasn't much scoop about what series 2 has in store later this year, beyond the fact they start filming in May and Lauren Socha is very excited about what her character (mind-reading Kelly) gets to do...

Incidentally, did anyone else notice that Ross' introduction at the top of the show spoiled Misfits' series 1 mystery about what Nathan's super-power is? Hopefully potential new fans won't remember what Ross said, but should everyone who's seen Misfits take Ross' slipup as confirmation of Nathan's ability?
