The Rocky Horror Picture Show is back at Liverpool Empire Theatre. Fans of Rocky Horror will know exactly what to expect, but newcomers may soon realise that the term "variety show" is very vague when describing Rocky Horror. There's a bundle of fun and unusual dancing to be had, along with some unforgettable sights amongst the audience themselves. To find out a little more, we spoke to Steve Punt and Paul Cattermole, both of whom have key roles in the latest production of Rocky Horror, and we discussed the story of the show, its most notable tunes, and of course thongs and fishnet stockings ...

First of all, explain what The Rocky Horror Picture Show is all about.

Steve: "That's a very good question. It's about a couple whose car broke down and who go for help, and find that the place where they've gone for help is full of crazy people who turn out to be aliens who are busy building a human in a tank."

Paul: "It's awesome!"

Steve: "It's a very strange, almost B-movie plot, with a lot of songs and a lot of fun and costumes and silliness."
