8:40 pm
doing the same jokes. he's pinched me braces! i began looking around for something else to do. brian rix! by sheer miracle, i saw the advertisement for secretary—general of mencap in the guardian one day, applied for the job like anyone else, and eventually, after a great deal of doubt in behalf of the society, i actually got the job. doctor henryj heimlich, a leading specialist in oesophagus surgery, has devised a simple first—aid procedure, the heimlich manoeuvre, which has proven successful in saving the lives of choking victims. # i'm running down the road trying to loosen my load # i got seven women on my mind # four that wanna own me # one says she's a friend of mine # you can't hide your lying eyes...#. we enjoyed what we were doing, we were serious about our work and the songs and about where

8:47 pm
# tin in the office cupboard # labelled, "lorraine," # because i've gone and got engaged again...#. i knew i was funny. i thought i could be funny, and i could play the piano. i thought, somehow, i will do something with this, but i did not know what it could be. # i'll be back at social security, queueing up to be abused # to be listed on a card index, one singer, slightly used #. hello. i'm looking for me friend. at another sort of swapping party, i ended up in a back bedroom with a man who owned a diy shop. and he ripped off all his clothes and said, "what would you like me to do?" i said, "well really, i'd like you to insulate the loft and lag the hot water tank". i went into the wvs centre today. it was more curiosity than anything.
8:48 pm
the lady who seems to run the centre, very tall, quite imposing, she sort of swept me up and i ended up making about 60 cups of tea. they did well out of you, then, didn't they? i liked her though, she knew what she wanted. # let's do it, let's do it # i really want to run amok #. have you seen it on the trolley? two coffees, no sweet. two coffees, no sweet? that's right. now what was i... have you seen it on the trolley? # let's do it tonight...#. if marjorie were to let her concentration lapse forjust one second i could literally... # let's go, because i know #just how i want you to behave # not meekly, not bleakly, # beat me on the bottom # but let's do it...#
8:49 pm
have you ever been three weeks late? yeah, i have, actually. did you find out what it was? yeah, i was pregnant. no, i'm kidding! i'm kidding! it is over my head, too dangerous! my mother first realised i was an actor when an uncle of mine went to see a film called the inn of the sixth happiness. he rang my mother up and said, "that son of yours is in a film." my mother did not believe them. she had to be dragged to see the film. she said, "yes, he looks familiar!" inspector clouseau's residence? because the prisoner is close to child, the imperial japanese army shall be... with the explosion of television, the world became smaller. and because it became smaller, there was room for much more international types of entertainment. that is where i dived in. i just got lucky. how come you have a name like entwistle? i changed my name, didn't i?
8:50 pm
from mcintyre. i was forever being mistaken for a scot. what are you then? a yorkshireman, what else? you're five minutes late! i thought you were all listening to the archers, or something. that was a very short bit of football, or a very short first half. yes? he says, we appear to have lost that film. you are telling me! we will try to find it. i was totally changed by the experience of it. i went there and it was such a dreadful shock. i hope i shall never see anything like this again... you have much more humility after that kind of experience. you cannot go around being bombastic anymore. it calms you down, it makes you realise what some other people have to put up with in life.
8:51 pm
now coming to the last moment of apollo 13, as it begins its re—entry. the best thing we can do now isjust listen and hope. it needs to be edited and refined over time, you have to be very self—critical... i was a woman who did strange stuff. there's a definite stigma to a woman's thing. to be accepted as an architect, i am not sure it is fully done. not here, not in this country, i am still considered to be on the margins. i don't mind being on the edge, actually. it is a good place to be. i've just about had enough of you.

8:54 pm
i want it to be the instigator of new ideas, to turn people on to new things and perspectives. i was never that confident of my voice as a singer. i would like to kind of portray the song. # ziggy played guitar...# i felt really comfortable going on stage as somebody else. it seemed a rational decision to keep on doing that. # fame... # we can be heroes... i got besotted with the idea of creating character after character. # let's dance... # put on your red shoes
