The Poptarts are
David Arscott & John Mabey.

John is a director, actor & playwright based in Chelmsford Essex. An obsessive collector, particularly 1980s records - many of them, obscure, lesser known or long forgotten pieces. Funnier than a lot of comedians despite being a nerd.

David is a songwriter, broadcaster & DJ, best known as frontman of acclaimed Essex band The White Gospel and for the award winning club nights Rubber Soul. David became a teenager in 1984, has "pretty decent" taste in music.
Prefers to improvise rather than learn things and is also quite funny.
