PICTURES: AC Slater and Screech reunite for an intense TV interview

Back in the day, Saved By The Bell was the TV show to watch.

It was full of teenage drama, good-looking people and romance – sure, what more could you want?

However, a lot has changed since then, and while most of the characters went on to do TV shows and movies, Screech, played by Dustin Diamond, went down a totally different path.

The once-loved goofy fellow took a dark road which included a scandalous sex tape and a stint in jail for being involved in a bar fight.

However, Dustin has just completed his time behind bars, and surprisingly, chose former co-star Mario Lopez to do a tell-all interview with.

The TV interview, which will be broadcast on Extra TV in the US, sees Dustin telling Mario about his 2009 explicit video and the infamous book he 'wrote' that trashed his Saved By The Bell days.

"I wanted to write a book about my life… I was supposed to talk to a ghostwriter for 40 hours total. I talked to a guy for 90 minutes total… another two weeks go by, and I get something in the mail, I get a copy of the book… They fabricated a whole bunch of stuff… I kind of super-railroaded on that," he tells Mario.

However, we're guessing Mario still holds a little grudge as he questions him further: "The book didn’t exactly paint a flattering picture of your fellow castmates." 

This prompted Dustin to reply: “Imagine how I feel, I haven’t talked to Marc Paul or Elizabeth or Tiffani in ages, so I can’t imagine what they think, and I’m hoping this will clear it up. It wasn’t me, I didn’t write this. I was just as shocked and appalled.”

We're looking forward to seeing the whole interview.
