Cassetteboy are back. The masters of the YouTube cut-up have exclusively revealed on Digital Spy the long-awaited sequel to their genius 'Cassetteboy vs The Bloody Apprentice' video.
But what's the real story behind these strange men with cassettes on their heads? One half of the secretive duo - we'll call him Mike, because that's his name - spoke to us about their origins, the future for their online parody videos (watch their excellent David Cameron conference rap here) and a potential Cassetteboy TV series.
How did Cassetteboy begin?
"It started out a very long time ago. We used to make compilation cassette tapes for our friends. In between the music, we would put little snippets of speech off the radio. Often it would be Chris Morris's On The Hour spoof news show or little bits off the telly. Gradually those tapes got more and more complicated and the music got edged out.

He's the tabloid whipping boy turned angel of vengeance; the TV comedian who's gone serious with his new film Philomena. At 48, Steve Coogan's career is going full tilt. So why does he have a massive chip on his shoulder, with 'mushy peas and a boat of gravy on the side'? Xan Brooks finds out
One rainy Friday in October, Steve Coogan takes a trip from the Lake District to an expensive part of London. He rolls into town a man in transit, still half-dressed for the country with a yellow tweed cap pulled down round his ears. The car ferries us through sodden streets to a private members club, where a table is booked in an upstairs room. But the hostess is stricken; the place has standards. She won't let him in until he takes off the cap.
It's fitting that Coogan doesn't pass for clubhouse material. His...

Everyone here should be well aware by now of what tonight's big television news is, but since I've got some space to fill; tonight is the night Conan O'Brien's show returns to television. While it is true that he's returning to TBS (home of Tyler Perry's "Meet the Browns" and the George Lopez show) I know there are plenty of people out there who are just happy enough to have him back on television. Of course, now begins the struggle over deciding if one should watch Conan or "The Daily Show" and "The Colbert Report" and I'm sure that will lead to much strife, wailing, gnashing of teeth and whatnot.
