It's the last episode of Candy Cabs tonight (21.00, Â鶹¹ÙÍøÊ×Ò³Èë¿Ú One). Watch out teaser clip (above) and read the final Candy Cabs Q&A interview. Danielle Henry and Lu Corfield answer your questions...
Â鶹¹ÙÍøÊ×Ò³Èë¿Ú Comedy: What was it like working on Candy Cabs, compared to working on other shows?
Lu Corfield: The biggest chunk of magic was given to us by Minkie Spiro, our Director. She took six Candy Girls and turned us into a family. Think about it. A cast lead by six feisty females? It could have been a nightmare if any egos sneaked into the mix but, instead, I met a group of lasses (and lads) whose friendship I'll now treasure for life.
Danielle Henry: I've been lucky enough to work on shows like Torchwood and Survivors in the past which are quite action-packed. Candy Cabs has been the most homely and family-feeling.
Â鶹¹ÙÍøÊ×Ò³Èë¿Ú Comedy: Who made you laugh the most during filming?
Danielle Henry: Jodie Prenger always made me laugh, she's so silly. She tells the most horrendous jokes...
Lu Corfield: That is an impossible question – all of them! If you’re talking about who made me want to corpse the most, then it has to be Paul Kaye. He is very talented, very naughty, and we became great mates.
Â鶹¹ÙÍøÊ×Ò³Èë¿Ú Comedy: When you are in a taxi do you prefer a chatty cab driver or one that keeps to themselves?
Danielle Henry: It depends on what mood I'm in. If I've had a few drinks I'll often end up wanting to put the world to rights with a taxi driver.
Lu Corfield: I think the best cabbies are the ones who gauge their passengers’ mood.
Â鶹¹ÙÍøÊ×Ò³Èë¿Ú Comedy: How much from Heel Hempstead to Heathrow Airport?
Danielle Harvey: £70?!?
Lu Corfield: That depends. Are you asking me or Big Pam? I’d be tempted to take you round the houses, whereas Pam would always do an honest deal. Throw in a bar of dairy milk and she might even give you a discount…
Thank you for reading our Candy Cabs Q&A trilogy. Enjoy the finale tonight!

Captivating audiences eager to believe in the unbelievable. Candy Cabs is simply unbelievable, egregiously so - who would have thought it plausible that Â鶹¹ÙÍøÊ×Ò³Èë¿Ú One would put out this anathema to comedy? My disbelief, far from being suspended, (willingly or not) was heightened by each palpably poor scene. One can only assume that this was targeted at the "I wanna be famous" audience gathered together drinking copious amounts of wine before heading out to 'the clubs'. They alone, in their own heightened state of disbelief could have thought (sic) that this was in some way a drama or a comedy. Please sign Ricky Gervais up quickly and return us all to comedy plausibility.
