(Note from Andy host of Retro Asylum)
I Just wanted to take the time to say I had a great time interviewing the Oliver Twins, I'm sure you all know that I am a huge fan of the Dizzy games, so it was a real pleasure speaking to both Andrew and Philip.

A lot of the times when you get to meet your heroes you are left feeling some what disappointed, but this was not the case for me as I found both Oliver's to be really friendly, down to earth,funny and very professional and they exceed all my expectations

It was a real honour for me to speak to the them and I'm ever so grateful that they took the time to appear on the 1HMPS Retro Podcast/Retro Asylum.

So big thanks to Philip and Andrew Oliver for doing the interview....those guys are the best!

P.s Did I mention that was only part 1, more on that sometime later
