(In "Do You Really Want To Hurt Me?", Bill's team are asked what injured Paul McCartney. A still from Ever Present Past is on the screen behind Simon)
BBill
A-dee-di-dee-di-dee... That's just, what the hell is he doing? It's like a Variety Club choreographer... What the hell? ...Dohhhhh!
BBill
Yeah it's alright. (audience laughter)
I don't see the problem. Not only do I think it's the best record he's made, I think it's the best record that's ever been made! You're not gonna get me to knock McCartney, mate!
BBill
How many records have you heard in your life?
Eight! And this is the best of eight.
Antony, it is lovely to have you here.
AAntony
No, you're not. (audience laughter)
I tried my best, I had a good go there!
AAntony
We was scared of you when we was in the band.
AAntony
Yeah, you used to take the mick proper.
I didn't try to take the piss out of Blue, you just came on and said very stupid things... (audience laughter) ...I was mainly reacting. You of course, like Paul McCartney, were part of a supergroup... What would you say were the main differences between The Beatles and Blue?
AAntony
They could sing! They were talented, we weren't!
Of course, The Beatles played and wrote their own music, but Blue didn't bother with such gimmicks.
AAntony
No, we wrote our own stuff!
Go on, which bits did you write?
AAntony
"And". (audience laughter) "The".
BBill
All the little words.
AAntony
Nah, we wrote our own stuff, if you look at our albums, we did.
Yeah, but that's, come on... (audience laughter) Come on.
MMatthew
Simon, this is awful, you're evil!
MMatthew
This is supposed to be the new positive approach!
BBill
(to Antony) If you were Sting he wouldn't do that...
BBill
That's what I mean!
We couldn't even get Lee! (audience laughter) I think tonight it would be good to sort of set the record straight on Antony's part in the band, because it was generally assumed in the past that Lee and Simon were the talents, Duncan was quite good looking, and Antony had a PlayStation... You're my favourite.
No, I don't think I liked any of you!
