Has anyone been for an interview yet? I know its only just up and running, but I wondered what they ask you and what do you need to take to the interview? I`m a British Citizen.

They are just to verify your identity. The will ask you a few questions about your background, where you live, a few culturally based questions. You don't have to get everything right. If they have any doubts you get a second interview anyway. Highly unlikely this will happen, but even if it does there is nothing to sweat about.
Heres some direct info for you (referenced in source)
"At the interviews the new passport applicants' identities will be confirmed by answering questions about themselves. Mr Hall said that the questions would be drawn from a stock of 200 based on the "social footprint" of each applicant, including their family history, current household, including all occupants, past addresses, financial background, including mortgage data and credit references, and even the background of the person countersigning the form.
The questions will be based on information from electoral registers, birth and marriage certificates, bank mortgage rolls and credit reference agencies. "They will be asked questions that only they know the answer to," said Mr Hall.
Teenagers are likely to be asked about their parents and their background, and who else lives at home with them.
From 2009, fingerprints will also be taken from each applicant.
The Home Office said that the personal information arising at the interviews would be destroyed once the passport was issued and no one would pass or fail the interviews. Those who fail to satisfy the interviewer that they are genuine will be referred to anti-fraud experts and be asked to attend another interview or provide further documentary proof."
