Hands up who watched The Cut Music Special today??

Oh wait. I forgot I couldn't type if I put my hands in the air. Oops. If you missed it and want to see chats with the cast and crew, plus band performances and interviews, then ch-ch-check it out on iplayer right now :) /iplayer/episode/b00tp7w7/The_Cut_Music_Special/
So now you know a bit about how the music gets chosen and why certain music works for certain scenes, I felt it only right to ask some of the cast for their ideal tracklisting:
Lara (aka Marla): Ram Jam - 'Black Betty'
Billie (aka Olive): Rolling Stones - 'Wild Horses'
Ed (aka Tommy): Ben folds five - 'One Angry dwarf and 200 Solomn Faces'
Scarlett (aka Rosa): Kelis - '4th of July'
Deborah (aka Catherine): Paolo Nutini - 'Pencil Full of Led'

At 28th Aug 2010, James wrote:Oh, and my suggestion is anything by 'INTERPOL' the American band, they have a new album coming out very soon (13th of september), and they have songs to fit lots of moods, usually with very dark undertones. 'Narc' might be a good song for the cut. Also there are many songs which are mainly instrumental, such as 'untitled'.
My favourite song by them is Song Seven. If I had a playlist like Lara Goodison, this song would be on it. Not for the lyrics, but for the instrumental close to the end.
(another suggestion is 'Outta Heart' By 'Hot Hot Heat')

Oh my gosh oh my gosh oh my gosh, you should do these like more often because I think they are fantastic, there should be like interviews from the cast and the director and stuff like that because it would be so interesting to show what they thought through out the series rather than just in the sort of inbetween bit when theres nothing else ... but it was fantastic

I'm sorry I don't know where else on the website i can ask you questions Vicky and Isla so I'm posting it here.
My first question is, in series one do you know what the name of the pattern or where you got marla's wallpeper from, this is in the house before they mmoved :), because I love it so much :)
Also my second question, whereabouts is the cut filmed??
I know roughly where but I would really love to go and see the amazing places where you have filmed it all :)
thank you so much and I LOVE THE CUT!!
:)

If you were looking for almost exactly the same wallpaper but in black than I would say look at this:
But if your looking for it in pink than this looks good:

I'd have to say the last one looks really good and it's in pounds so knock yourself out and I hope you like it!! xx

@cordeila - looks like Gummybear Girl's done a pretty amazing job of answering you already (Gummy, are you sure you're not really Isla in disguise??), but will certainly look into this for you.
@kittymitty - thanks so much for sharing your response here, means a lot that you guys care so much about The Cut
@musicgirl - will pass on your feedback about having more shows like it. Oh and legally blonde was AMAZING ;)
Thanks to everyone for your amazing song suggestions. x

1) My best friend went to see Legally Blonde: The Musical, so he would probably have been there at the same time as Vicki.
2) I was in a bookshop today and I found a book called Murder In The Mews! I didn't know The Cut was around in Agatha Christie's time...
