In 1984 a children's program called Data Run aired on television in the U.K. One of the show's segments was apparently a question/answer type of feature where the kiddies would ask a celebrity guest questions.

Can you imagine Ian McCulloch or Morrissey consenting to appear on a kids show nowadays? For some reason, I could easily picture Johnny Marr agreeing to it and being a great sport.
By the way, the theme to Data Run was written by Vince Clarke and sung by Alison Moyet (aka Yaz/Yazoo):
