Strangler Hugh Cornwell told us his favourite movie was David Lynch’s bizarre Eraserhead and the person he’d most like to meet was Jack Nicholson. He also said the high point of his career was giving up drugs. On the opposite page to Hugh, young Wattie of The Exploited said his favourite movie was Alien and the person he’d most like to meet was Sylvia Kristel from the Emmanuelle films. His fantasy was bondage – ‘I’ll try anything once.’

Strange bedfellows indeed. The late Berni Nolan shared her Lifelines spread with Jello Biafra. Berni said if she could change her appearance ‘My legs would be slimmer at the top.’ Meanwhile, Jello said he’d ‘Substitute alligator claws for my fingers.’
