# You don't have to be beautiful to turn me on...#

So how did The Artist Formerly Known As come about?

That came up through people's problems with, mainly the media's

problem with not having a pronunciation for the symbol.

So they had to come up with something, I guess.

I really truly madly deeply love you.

I really truly madly deeply passionately love you.

I really truly madly deeply passionately remarkably love you.

I really truly madly deeply passionately remarkably...

I really truly madly passionately remarkably

It was your word, which means you couldn't have meant it!

Cancel the kitchen scraps for lepers and orphans.

That is a very serious accusation, Potter.

Of course she doesn't, that's how Leonardo painted her.

We thought we were in a dream, you know?

Because we had done nothing in particular, and we both said,

well, he said you're women, right about two women

And we said, OK, we could do flat sharing.

You think I'll tell you how Robert and me went to the art galleries

And then having got that out of me, you think I'll tell you how

he's asked me to spend the night with him.

I knew you'd drag it out of me somehow!

I believed that most women felt trapped the way I did.

The first sentence I wrote, I knew, they must never go to bed.

You've got to transport that huge lump into the world, hasn't she?

A man couldn't give birth to a jelly baby!

The character was originally written as a rather stereotyped

The big fat man and lazy husband, and little nagging wife.

I bet Barbara Cartland never has all this trouble.

Well after a few weeks we thought this was going to get a bit boring.

So we started playing against the script.

Same words, but trying to give them a bit more character.

Fish knives, they are common as muck!

You know, the way them singing sirens used to draw unsuspecting

Quincy always talks about thinking that I must have been black.

I must have been, you know, before he met me, because of

MUSIC: "Rock With You" by Michael Jackson.

The whole thing took two weekends and it was amazing.

By the time it was over, Quincy and I had become such close buddies,

that he said I want you to work on everything I'm doing.

Here is the clock, the Trumpton clock.

Here is Chippy Minton, and his son Nibs.

We're going to do a job for Mr Platt, the clockmaker.

A grandfather clock, needs its case mended.

Good morning! Pat called.

Looks like a busy day for you, lots of letters and parcels.

Well, at least it's a nice day for it!

He sent me to get these throat lozenges.

There's a lot of them about, ain't there?

We used plasticine because it was fun and it's quite easy,

If the temperature is too cold, it can crack.

If it's too hot, it can melt and get a bit soggy,

I've been a man in the world, and I want everybody out

I don't think he'll ever get through this round.

Why do you insist on being called Muhammad Ali now?

That's the name given to me by my leading teacher.

That's my original name, that's a slave name,

A man who can pay in two fights for three planes,

why would you take and seek out and be anxious to call me, out of 30

He talks too much, he's ugly, he's pretending.

I'm the true champion and they make me the underdog.

I'm going to show them all, because I'm the champion,

There will never be one like me, and all you people in Britain

who rate me as the greatest, I'm going to prove I'm the greatest.

We're going to prove to the world I'm the greatest.

This is my last fight, I don't want none of you to miss it.

So please come to theatres, I'm going to eat some raw meat.

I'm going to get ready and chop some more trees!

COMMENTATOR: Oh my God, he's won the title back at 32!

I said, man, this is the wrong place to get tired!

The forwards have just stepped up to the mark and smashed Wales.

I've won a few tournaments, I've won some majors.

I suppose the most important thing...

Is the fact that it has been as good as it has been to me.

Arnold Palmer, golfer, aviator, man of many powers.

# Come with me and you'll be in a world of pure imagination...#

When I do make jokes, they're usually not that funny,

But if I go in public somewhere, the first thing people say, come on,

28 seconds, you're running out of time.

To be honest, I cannot function in these conditions!

My blanket, my blue blanket, give me my blue blanket!

He had the fastest hands in the West.

A lot of people have criticised me for writing music

I take for granted that what I write has got a meaning.

I think a composer should be able to take that for granted,

otherwise he should not be in the business at all.

To do something which is civilised in intent, and I hope in result,

at the top end of what is possible in a civilisation, what a privilege.

Everything you read in the paper about how hard

the Prime Minister has to work is bit of a myth, really.

This is put up by the press office as a matter of course.

But if you think about it, what do you have to do?

I hope Sergeant Major is in good mood.

Our cordon bleu cook is in an Italian mood.

And he has conjured up for you spaghetti

Maybe that was the only way to punish me properly.

Maybe it wouldn't have been enough to tell me in private

The most quick way was to bundle you back through

your own doorway and into the safety of this hallway, but I'm afraid

that in my anxiety to defend you, I was over vigorous.

Speed was the essence of the matter, but it has

caused you some shock and I am very sorry.

It was a yea my lord, but I don't believe a word of it.

It is almost a drama or a tragedy with laughs, because they

are real people in trouble, and we always love seeing people

There is too much butter on those trays, OK?

There is too much butter and those trays.

Viewers often see me and my co-announcers sitting like this.

And they may think we are in a quiet,

But in fact, as you can see, our studios are pretty

busy, and they are like this every day of the year.

There were lots of breakdowns, particularly at the

beginning, because, I mean, the cameras were unreliable.

We frequently lost all vision on a show

or something, so the announcer would have to go in and apologise and tell

From now until after five o'clock this afternoon, television cameras

take you into the heart of London to watch and share.

That was me, helping in a small way to make

Frost will be widespread over the weekend,

A track every morning with Ken Bruce and myself every afternoon.

There will be another one same time tomorrow.

We are working in a very recording studio, which is recording

16 separate tracks through a board like this.

When I started producing records a few years ago...

# Right, said Fred, both of us together, one

We still mixed our sounds on a board like this,

But it all came down to just one track because it was on a record

# There's nothing you can do that can't be done...

# Nothing you can sing that can't be sung.

We celebrate with it, and we mourn with it.

I need music, and I don't mean just professionally.

Bill Haley had arrived, and of course that was

But fortunately in the meantime, I had done two weeks in

I wasn't everybody's choice to be on Radio 1, because

there was the question of whether I would fit into all this.
