Notes from an ex-recruiter!
@Lucy -

Take your time! Don't babble to fill silence, if you need a second to think about your response, then take it!

If you don't know the answer to something, say 'I don't know'. More often than not an interviewer will appreciate that more than a bare faced lie.

If you can, try and take notes of important things during the interview. This will give you leverage over other candidates as it gives the impression that you actually care about the nexrt stage of your career.

Make sure you have at least 10 questions written down to ask at the end of the interview. Try to avoid the standard ones like "how much holiday do I get?" or "why do you like working here?" - try and ask questions that are thoughtful, insightful and above all relevant.

If all else fails, £500 in an envelope with 'mum's the word' written on it should do the trick!

Seriously, I hope it goes really well for you! *crosses fingers and legs and toes and arms and eyes*
