Christmas Interviews

'Christmas Interviews' is the third sketch of the first series of the 'James, Phil and Timmy' episodes. It was written by James Matthews, who also stars. It was uploaded on the 23rd December 2011 and is 5 minutes and 40 seconds in length, making it the longest 'James, Phil and Timmy' sketch of the first series. This is a very unusual episode because it shows that James, Phil and Timmy know that they are being watched. However, this has never been mentioned by the characters since. The characters also break the 'fourth wall', which they haven't done since. It is followed by 'The Crossword'.

Synopsis
As Christmas approaches, we delve deeper in to the lives of James, Phil and Timmy by arranging some special interviews.

Plot
The sketch is presented in a 'documentary-like' format. An interviewer asks James, Phil and Timmy questions about their lives. During the interview with Phil, Phil's landlord phones up and tells him to pay his rent by the end of the week or he'll be thrown out of his flat. During James' interview, Phil phones up and unintentially reveals to the interviewer that James thinks that they are time-wasting and over-paid. James tries to reassure the interviewer that this isn't the case, but the damage has already been done. The sketch ends with Phil, Timmy and an embarrassed James wishing the audience a merry Christmas.

Story Arc
In this sketch, it is revealed for the first time that Phil sells toothbrushes illegally on eBay. Plus, Phil's landlord is introduced and warns Phil that he has to pay his rent or he'll be thrown out.
