1) Describe each other in five words?

Manjot Sumal: "Outgoing, loud, friendly, energetic and bubbly. He is the life of the party."

Grado: "Zen, punctual, reliable, intelligent and ... [there is a full 20 second pause] clean."

Sumal: "My mum will be happy to hear that."

2) What were you like growing up?

Sumal: "Annoying … That's why I'm so chilled out now."

Grado: "I was always outside playing. Football, wrestling up the park, games of chappy [chap door runaway] and prank-calling folk from the phone box. I used to call up the sexual health line and ask what a Femidom was."

3) Who did you have posters of on wall?

Grado: "Men in Lycra. Wrestlers."

Sumal: "Weird things like UFOs. I was into supernatural stuff. The Crow was my favourite film."

4) Childhood ambitions?

Grado: "To play for Rangers. Or to be a bus driver. That's still an unfulfilled ambition."

Sumal: "I wanted to be a pilot. But then I discovered I hate flying and I'm colour blind."

5) Proudest achievement?

Grado: "Getting an Irn Bru bottle made for me. A custom-made Grado bottle. I'm not going to drink it. I'll keep it on the mantelpiece at home."

Sumal: "Writing a play called How To Make a Killing in Bollywood with my friend Umar Ahmed in 2013. We took it to the Fringe and toured round the UK."

The Herald:

6) It's Friday afternoon, the shift is finished: what songs do you play?

Grado: "My favourite band 36 Crazyfists. I have their name tattooed on my arm."

Sumal: "I have fallen in love with Lin-Manuel Miranda who wrote the musical Hamilton."

7) What is your motto or philosophy?

Grado: "Everything happens for a reason."

Sumal: "Always do your best."

8) What is the ultimate ambition?

Grado: "To just keep doing what I'm doing."

Sumal: "To break Bollywood/Hollywood, but first to break River City."

9) Which Scot Squad character would you love to team up with for a day?

Sumal: "Darren Connell as Bobby. But I don't think I could keep a straight face."

Grado: "Probably Darren as well."

10) Have you had any feedback from real life traffic cops?

Grado: "I was pulled over by the police about a headlight once and I think they were more interested in talking about the show. When they saw me they went: 'It's the traffic!'"

Sumal: "Nothing yet. But I've been dying to be pulled over to see if something does happen."
