- What are you tying to do? - Make tea.
- For you? - No, for what's-his-face upstairs.
Don't look at me, don't look at me! Just don't look at me like that! Oh, God!
All right, loudhailer! I've got a man upstairs! Back in business! Big deal!
- Who is it? - It's just Pete, just little Pete. It's only Pete.
Are these baby things? Be nice if we could all dress like that.
Clothes that contract and expand with you. The Oprah Winfrey school of dressing, innit?
like a big stretchy condom that can cope with every stage of your yo-yo diet, isn't it, darling?
One minute she fills the screen the next she's just a little eyeball!
- Mum, I don't know Pete. - You do know him. I've known him all my life.
- Why can't I meet him? - Because he's in and out.
- No pressure, just fun, no pressure. - Well, that's good. It's about time.
Yeah, it's about time, isn't it?
Oh, yeah, darling. Bit odd, though, because he's a bit older than me.
- Why? - Long time since I've been out with an older man.
- How much older? - Nearly a year, which is all right.
I'm not making a thing about it, darling. What, darling?
All right, he was my first boyfriend.
He's the first thing I kissed that wasn't a hand, a balloon or a mirror, all right?
You still do that.
- Eddie, I've got something I want you to see. - What, what, what?
- Mum's got a new boyfriend. - Eddie?
- Pete. - oh.
- She's been seeing him for a while. - You won't get her to react.
We were at school together. It's Pete.
You see, I've had this fantastic approach.
This Japanese company wants to re-release some of my old movies.
Which movies?
They've become quite a cult, apparently, among the connoisseurs of the genre.
Yeah? Which ones, darling?
- Well, um, there's the Chatterley series. - Yeah, yeah.
"Old lady Chatterley", "Young lady Chatterley", "Lady Chatterley Doesn't live Here Any More".
- Then there's the Bond collection. - Bond collection?
- "The Man With Thunderballs". - That was vey good.
"Boldfinger". I played Honey Lovetrap.
And Anouska was Titty Bighorn and Gayle Hunnicutt was...
- Gayle Hunnicutt, I imagine! - Yeah.
- Porn movies? - They weren't porn movies. Just cheeky fun.
- Nothing sordid, you know. - No.
They were good plots with good actors.
It was just having a bit of a feel-up whilst doing the household chores!
- I'm excited about this. - Gotta go, babe.
Don't worry about the tea.
Do you remember "The Four Dimensions Of lusty Happycrack"?
- Your mother's not down here, is she? - No, she's not here. Here he is, darling.
- He can walk, talk, step, step, step. - Mum, stop being so embarrassed.
- You know Patsy. - Hello, Pats.
- Cheers. - Yeah.
- This is my daughter. Don't laugh. - Mum, stop it.
You're looking like some idiot. He doesn't know what to think.
- Gotta go, babe. - All right, darling.
- Oh, now, who's this? - oh.
Oooooooooh!
(EDDIE) Be really quick. (PETE) Oh, bloody hell!
(EDDIE) It's an all-in-one, Pete.
- Ooh. - (PETE) My hand's stuck.
Oh, that's where you are, Edwina dear.
Is this the boy you were going to bring home to tea? I found them, Daddy. Here they are.
What were you doing in there? Playing sardines?
It's Pete, isn't it?
What's that on your neck, dear?
Some marks. What are those?
Oh, we must wipe them off.
Daddy, spit on the hanky.
- No, no, here we go, here we go, here we go. - Stop it!
That's better. Now, we must have a little chat.
Come and sit down...
…and tell me All about yourself, hm?
- He's not gay. - I never said he was, dear.
That's what everyone always thinks.
He doesn't moisturise, he drums along to music, he doesn't like disco, he doesn't notice my hair.
- Oh, it's nice. - Cheers.
- He's a tits man, but not in a weird way. - Her tits, not mine.
- My tits. - Really?
He lets me sit eyes-out at a restaurant so I see people.
- Tell me, Pete, what do you do now? - He's in the music business.
Yes. let him speak for himself. The music business.
What exactly is that? Explain.
Well, he's... Ow, ow!
- Well, it's... - Yes, come along, talk.
- It's... It's...like... - It's cocaine-fuelled orgies and drug parties!
That's all she wants to hear, isn't it? Darling, tell them about the Beatles thing.
Yeah, yeah, 'cause he has found - well, he owns them now -
the lost Beatles tapes.
- Beatles tapes! - Yeah, darling.
- Because he was a junior... - Balance engineer.
Junior balance engineer and was down, like, Abbey Road and Pete... You say it, you say.
- Nnnno. - What? All right, well, I'll say it, darling.
Pete says if it wasn't for people like him and George...
- George Martin. -…the Beatles might have been...
- Stress MIGHT. - Yeah.
Might have been just kind of self-indulgent and amateurish, darling.
What was it you said? That ein Me/jterwerk is like a collaboration.
- Isn't that what you... - Babe, I gotta go, OK?
I'm gonna shoot. See you down the road.
- See you at Abbey Road, darling. - What?!
Pete's working at Abbey Road on the Beatles tapes.
- Can I come? - Can Pats come?
- Yeah, yeah. - I must go too, dear.
- Pete, can you give me a lift? - I-I'm walking.
- Oh, good. I could do with some fresh air. - Drop her somewhere, will you?
Well, I think he's vey nice, Mum.
Oh, well, that's the kiss of death!
- (MUNERS TO HERSELF) - I'm so pleased to have these films, darling.
They were beautifully shot.
It wasn't just rumpy-pumpy. You got to see a lot of the countryside.
It was lovely. It was like a breeding ground for young talent.
David lean, Joe Losey. Schlesinger cut his teeth on my young oeuvre!
- Ugh, doesn't sound vey nice! - So, Eddie, Abbey Road!
Yeah, these tapes are gonna make him a lot of money.
- Really? - Oh, mucho moola!
- Makes him a more attractive proposition to you! - Yeah.
look at these, darling. What a pro.
- What do you want? - I don't know.
Did you rub the lamp, O Great One?
Rub the lamp? Oh, yes! Oh, darling, oh, yes, oh, yes!
The party for when he plays the Beatles tapes - just a low-key industry affair - is gonna be here.
- Oh, Eddie! - Yeah, darling. I thought I'd theme it.
like '60s theme it, maybe '70s. Have Elton John tinkling on the piano.
Ohh, Elton!
Yes, Elton, all right? So you just do it, OK? Come on, we've got to go to Abbey Road.

- How sad. - Having their photographs taken!
- Run them over! - Run them over! Oh, it's so been done!
Edina Monsoon and Patsy Stone.
- Oh, please, how tragic. - Pathetic!
Clicky-picky, cooky-hooky, cooky-pooky!
- Not important enough to come in! - We can go in. They're looking at us.
Monsoon! M-O-N-S-O-N. S-O-O-N! Oh, he's buzzed.
- (MUSIC PLAVS) - Hey, Petey.
- Hey, baby! - Hello, sweetheart.
Darling, I-I wouldn't sit there if I were you.
We are um...in the process of over-dubbing...
…under-dubbing, miKing...laying it all down.
Is that "the tapes"?
Yeah.
Pats, these are the tapes.
We're digitalising.
- Amazing. - Fantastic.
Isn't it extraordinary how, like, voices...
…like a little moment of genius can actually be caught on that plastic and chemical?
A little fly on flypaper.
- What's all the knobs? - let him do his job.
It's OK. It's not as complicated as it looks. Hey, come here.
Quite simple, really. I'm drivin', baby!
I'm driving! Zhuga, zhuga, zhuga!
- Zhuga, zhuga! - Zhuga, zhuga!
le-le-le!
It's OK. let's have a drink.
Coffee, drink, whatever you like, baby!
Hello, babe, how are you?
It's "wonderful" to be here. Certainly "a thrill".
Cheers. You were vey small.
- I'm a lot bigger now! - Fantastic.
This was the "Sergeant Pepper" studio.
Yeah.
- I was here. - Yeah, so were we. We were here.
Oh, Eddie, Eddie, Eddie darling, the Maharishi is humping you.
Just be cool, just be cool.
Just be cool, darling! It's the Maharishi.
Pats, whose... Whose hair am I eating?
It's yours, babe.
Eddie, Eddie, Ginsberg is dry-humping Ringo.
It's fantastic.
Shhh! Hey!
Hey, that is the "lady Madonna" piano.

You didn't have a favourite, you had 'em all.

Eddie, Eddie, you know those little tiny bricks and they have little bumps on them like that?
And sometimes they've got little windows on the bricks.

It was like a legoland of sex after those concerts!
Everybody was connected to someone eke by something!
That's fantastic!
- Ohh, darling. Hey, I really like Pete. - Yeah, I like Pete, darling.
Eddie, I was thinking about the party. You've got this fantastic '60s theme.

It would be fantastic, bit of a cheeky thing.
♪ Hakuna Matata! ♪
Hakuna Matata?! Come on, now, speak English.
lyrics by Andrew Lloyd Rice.
I want to speak to Yoko.
I wanna tell her, when she's on the satellite link to stand further back from the camera. I'll hold.
The good thing about "Booberella" is I think it was directed by David lean.
This is going to be quite a low-key party.
Industry people, play the tapes, little Elton tinkling in the corner.
- Your films, you're there, it's special. - Dear, oh, dear. Rent an Elt.
- Shut up. - little Elton! I had a fling with him once.
- It was a long time ago, but he should remember. - Oh, darling.
Some of his clothes! I mean, really!
Though what he's wearing today...
- What do you mean, what he's wearing today? - Him! Chumba Wumba!
- He's here already? - Yes!
- Go tell him I'll be up in a minute! - Don't send me there! You do it!
YOU do it! I'm talking to Yoko!
- Yoko? Oh-no! - Yes, Yoko. Go on.
Oh, no, darling Yoko, I wasn't talking to you.
Sayonara. Konnichiwa, Yoko-san!
- Who's doing the nibbles? - Oh, right, are they? So I won't bother.
- No, who's doing the nibbles? That was you. - Oh, yes, quite right. I have done them.
- Well done! - So who was it?
- Who? Oh, I thought you knew. He's a singer. - No...
Who is doing nibbles, she's asking you, you silly mare!
- Oh. - Oh.
- Who's he? - What?
- Who's that? That was so rude! - That is Elton John, you fool!
- The singer? - Yes!
- So he's not doing nibbles? - No, I am not.
- I thought I'd been invited to a party. - Give me that.
She's on her way, lad.
- It says Gordon Ramsay is doing the nibbles. - Oh, Gordon Ramsay is doing the nibbles (!)
- Yes! - Oh, celebrity chefs! How common!
Greeted by someone off the TV. Enough to put you off your pudding.
- And always so angry, aren't they, Elt? - Do I know you?
You do, soft lad, that you do.
Oh, sweetheart! Oh, Elton, darling!
- What is going on? - We've got you the piano.
- What? - The piano. To play at the party.
- What is this? - She's presumpted me slightly.
It just I was wondering if you wouldn't mind playing a little at the Beatles party.
- Playing? - Just play, entertain.
- Huh! If you can call it that! - You've got a nerve!
I thought, darling, just a little Beatles medley. You wouldn't be the focus, just something...
Or "Your Song", something like that.
- Did you bring your own stool? - I've got a stool!
- Who do you think I am? - Please, sweetheart!
Don't go, don't go, don't go! I wanted you because I wanted the best!
- The Beatles were the best and you are! - Get off!
The best piano player? Have you seen t'fingers on him?
- Get off! - He's got fingers like me! 10 Porkinson's bangers!
At least mine are chipolatas! I never liked you!
- I auctioned your clothes for Aids! - I was wearing them!
- I think I knew you when you were a man. - And I knew you when you had hair.
I've always had hair, bitch!
- Don't go! - Get of my Yohji! Get off me!
(EDDIE SHOUTS) last season's Yohji!
Is that a grand piano?
No, it's a baby grand.
Hasn't got all the notes. Just big enough for small songs.
- Never mind, Eddie. - Darling, how dare he get fussy at my party!
- Eddie, we've still got the movies, though. - What?
- We're showing some of Patsy's old B-movies. - Her what?
- Cheeky old sex films. - No, darling, they're more cult classics.
You'll be surprised how good they are.

OK, let's raise the tone. Yes, Yoko is with us!
She should back off. (PETE) Back off!
- Back off. Yoko, back off. - Back off.
Move back.
