Clearly the band don't mind being portrayed as spoiled brats - at least in puppet form - so there's a good reason why this is a palpable hit, riding high on MTV2 and NME. It's rather better than a warmed-over Spinal Tap - but that drummer is definitely expendible isn't he

Stephen Agnew on making the Futureheads video for Walking Backwards

"I thought it would all go completely tits up, but it didn't. We basically spent two days doubled over laughing at the way that the puppeteers controlled every single scenario that we put them.
