Simon, Antony and others in “21x07”

Antony, it is lovely to have you here.

Thanks, Si.

I'm a big fan of Blue.

No, you're not. (audience laughter)

I tried my best, I had a good go there!

We was scared of you when we was in the band.

Really?

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?

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.

No, we wrote our own stuff!

Go on, which bits did you write?

"And". (audience laughter) "The".

All the little words.

Nah, we wrote our own stuff, if you look at our albums, we did.

Yeah, but that's, come on... (audience laughter) Come on.

Simon, this is awful, you're evil!

I'm not evil!

This is supposed to be the new positive approach!

(to Antony) If you were Sting he wouldn't do that...

We couldn't get Sting...

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'm not!

No, I don't think I liked any of you!
