Misfits is now available to buy on DVD
Misfits burst onto our screens three years ago now and brought with it a lot of laughter, mainly from Nathan (the Irish one).
It's cool, frank and in my opinion it's a more relatable version of Hereos - even though I do understand that the chances of getting a superhuman power are slim to none.
Anyway, I caught up with the character Simon - Iwan Rheon - to talk about the latest series (three) being released on DVD and to find out whether or not he watches shows like TOWIE and Made in Chelsea.
The third series of Misfits is now available to buy on DVD, do you want to give us a brief overview of what's happening in this series?
I don't know how much I'm actually allowed to say because they haven't all aired yet. It follows the gang doing their community service again and how their new powers are fitting into their lives and how they've got this new character, Rudy, who's affecting their lives all of the time by being an idiot. That's pretty much what happens (laughs). 
How much of an impact does Rudy make upon the gang?
I think quite a lot. He's a similar character, archetypically to Robert Sheean's character, Nathan. But, then he's very different in many ways.
It's proved a very popular series over the years, any confirmation of a forth?
I think it's happenening, yes. They're starting to write it now, they're thinking of the storylines. I don't know whether it has been confirmed as of yet.
If there is, do you think Nathan's character will ever come back?
I don't know, anything is impossible.
With everything that's happened, will Simon return to the past to save Alesha?
Well, it's his destiny.
Can we expect the gang to kill any more of the probation workers?
(Laughs) Probably, yes. They seem to be pretty good at that.
If you could have any of the character's powers whose would you have?
I think I'd have Nicki's character from the second series, the teleport power, I think that's the best one.
Do you like that Simon isn't shy anymore, or did you prefer acting that way?
For me it's about the development of the character, like his journey. It has kind of happened quite naturally I think, I'm enjoying having to bridge the gap between Simon in the first series and the future Simon that comes back in the third series, sort of filling in all of the gaps figuring out how he becomes this confident. I'm quite enjoying it.
Did you prefer the power of being invisible, or his new one?
Invisible is much better.
If you could go back in time, and stop big disaster or life changing events from happening, would you?
It's an interesting question, I've never really thought about it. I think that from everything I've learnt from Misfits in particular and every other time travel film that I have seen, going back in time and changing things really messes everything up. So, probably I wouldn't. But, I'd use it for doing small things, like investing in Microsoft at the start, and then when you go back to the future, you're absolutely stinking rich. Or Apple, we like Apple.
Last June, the series was made available to watch in America and became Hulu's, the site which hosted it, most-watched series. What was your reaction to that?
I don't know, it's crazy. You know, it's great, it's really good. I'm kind of surprised, then not surprised; you never know how America are going to take things and it's great that they've taken so well to us.
You've worked in all areas, TV, Film and Theatre. Have you got any imminent plans to go back to theatre?
Nothing imminent at the moment, but it's always something that I want to do again and hopefully I will get to do more in the future. At the moment, I've not got any plans.
Out of the three, which do you prefer doing?
I like doing all of them because they're all different and I think that they all sort of benefit you through different ways. And I think as an actor you have to try and be able to do everything. Also, everyone is a completely different challenge.
Over the past 18 months we've seen a real surge in these reality/drama shows like The Only Way is Essex and Made in Chelsea, what do you think of them?
I've not really got an opinion, I just think that it's really easy, cheap television to make. I don't watch any of them, I'm not interested at all.
Do you think that they are just a phase, that will soon fade out?
I don't know, I hope so. I want people to make things a little more interesting and creative. I think it's just because of the financial problems at the moment, it's really easy to make and cheap so it's a good way to get audiences in without having to spend loads of money on making a costume drama or even a low budget series like Misfits.
Do you want to tell us the things that you've got coming up in the next couple of months and that?
A film's just been released that I did, called Resistance. There's another film that I did last year called Wild Bill coming out, which was directed by Dexter Fletcher. I've also got an EP out of my music called Changing Times and then there is a couple of projects looming next year that I'm looking at getting involved with. We're still sorting out date and stuff with that. Do some gigs, play some music.
Do you get to spend much time on your music, with all of the acting?
Not as much as I'd like, but it's kind of a good sort of balance. It's more of a hobby and I get to take a guitar into my trailer when I've got a bit of time off, play some songs. At the moment I've got a bit of time off so I'm just playing my guitar.
How many gigs are you looking to do?
I just kind of do the odd gig here and there whenever I can, it's just difficult to go on tour or anything like that because that would be really difficult to do.
