Jonny Sweet: My nickname was Gimpy at school
"I must say, I'm fed up of playing these slightly wet poshos," laughs Jonny Sweet, whose career to date has seen him frequently assume the persona of wet posho. "I think it's about time I was given a gun for something or an action film. I always thought I was going to be plucked from university into the secret service anyway - I'm still waiting for the call."

For what it's worth, I loved Babylon. I loved that I loathed the first 10 minutes, post-assassination No 1, and hated this bolshie dick-swinging armed response team.
