“I Wish It Could Be Christmas Every Day,” which I actually recorded on “Quality Street” because I don’t think anyone has ever covered it before.

And as Craig Brown – he’s an English humorist, not a comedian but he’s just a writer and humorist – I’m quite a fan of. I heard him talking in a rather similar way on the radio. He said I’m the sort of person – I can’t remember exactly what he said, but it was rather interesting – he said I’m the sort of person that can be reduced to tears in an empty church and feel like I’m the CEO of the Devil’s organization in a full one, and I tend to feel like that as well. I love empty churches and going into them looking around, but I’m not a churchgoer at all.

You’re going to forget this in a minute – you know, like you do when you’ve had a dream.

And the other thing for the sort of posher kids was a sort of lethal scooter, you know. One of the things that you just push along with your – really heavy, lethal, you know, trap your fingers in and every bit of metal got rusty very quickly.

And then, one day, they program a new tune, and it really catches your ear, you know, because you can be doing the washing up or something, you know, in your apartment and suddenly you go, whoa, what are they playing in there? And you run to the wall, but it’s finished – but the song’s finished. You only heard enough of it just the pique your interest. And you never know when they’re going to play it again, of course, like a normal radio station.

And there were sort of three toys for boys and three toys for girls. And the boys I can remember was, well, there was a Dan Dare Ray Gun. Dan Dare was a sort of a cartoon character. He was just sort of a – he was like a Battle of Britain fighter pilot, only in space.

As soon as one of my records goes on, it makes a vast portion of the public nervous. They get spooked by it. To some people who have ears to hear, it’s a delightful, refreshing change. But to most of the public, it’s a load of homemade-sounding nonsense.
