Hello and tonight, Inside Out is in rural Derbyshire in the heart of | :00:01. | :00:07. | |
the Peak District. Save our buses, save our buses. | :00:07. | :00:09. | |
tonight's programme, actress Anna Karen goes back 'On The Buses' to | :00:10. | :00:15. | |
find out who's behind the cuts to rural services. We're cut off, | :00:15. | :00:19. | |
we're on an island, that's how I feel. | :00:19. | :00:22. | |
Also tonight, what do you do when the phone salesman won't stop | :00:22. | :00:31. | |
ringing? It was awful, awful because he had effectively | :00:31. | :00:34. | |
bankrupted himself. And Chris Jagger remembers the day | :00:34. | :00:41. | |
The Stones came to Swarkestone. are the one on the left? Yes, | :00:41. | :00:48. | |
having my autograph taken by Brian Jones. It was brilliant, absolutely | :00:48. | :00:57. | |
This year, we've seen rural and evening bus services cut from towns | :00:57. | :01:02. | |
and villages across our region. The latest victims of efficiency | :01:02. | :01:05. | |
savings by local authorities. But what effect is this having on | :01:05. | :01:08. | |
communities, and what can be done to stop it? Actress, Anna Karen, | :01:08. | :01:11. | |
who made her name On The Buses, grabbed her pass and got back on | :01:11. | :01:21. | |
:01:21. | :01:41. | ||
I'm Anna Karen. You might remember me from the TV series, On The Buses. | :01:41. | :01:46. | |
I played Olive. I tell you what, we'll go and have a cup of tea and | :01:46. | :01:50. | |
you stay here and attend to the bus. No, I can't, I'm a trainee. | :01:50. | :01:57. | |
That was me back in 1973. But I'm a senior citizen now and I've got my | :01:57. | :02:03. | |
concessionary bus pass to prove it! But my pass ain't much cop now on | :02:03. | :02:07. | |
scores of bus journeys. They've been cut. I want to know how that's | :02:08. | :02:10. | |
affecting people. I'm travelling around the East Midlands in this | :02:10. | :02:20. | |
:02:20. | :02:22. | ||
beautiful old bus to find out. Hello, hello, nice to meet you. We | :02:22. | :02:26. | |
do need a bus. We're cut off. We're on an island. I mean, there's | :02:26. | :02:29. | |
nothing nicer than taking a bus. Total disaster. They want to start | :02:29. | :02:32. | |
looking at it and thinking about it. And I'm taking some of the people | :02:32. | :02:35. | |
I'm meeting down to Westminster so we can tell the Government exactly | :02:35. | :02:44. | |
what we think about it all. Things have changed since On The | :02:44. | :02:51. | |
Buses. It's all about the economics now. Take the 6.1 bus from Belper | :02:51. | :02:53. | |
to Matlock in Derbyshire. Not enough people use it in the | :02:53. | :02:57. | |
evenings or on Sundays for the bus company to make enough money. So it | :02:57. | :03:00. | |
relies on subsidy from the county council. If the subsidy was removed | :03:00. | :03:03. | |
completely, we would be looking to remove the service in the evenings | :03:03. | :03:05. | |
and Sundays between Matlock and Belper because purely they cannot | :03:05. | :03:08. | |
run commercially. There is insufficient demand from fare- | :03:08. | :03:11. | |
paying customers to keep that service running. In total, 499 bus | :03:11. | :03:14. | |
routes in the East Midlands are subsidised so they can run so | :03:14. | :03:19. | |
called "unprofitable services". But what happens when councils take the | :03:19. | :03:28. | |
This is Joyce. She lives in Loughborough but her daughter lives | :03:28. | :03:32. | |
eight miles away in the village of Osgathorpe. She's got to look after | :03:32. | :03:35. | |
her granddaughter so her daughter can go out to work. $YELLOW If my | :03:35. | :03:38. | |
daughter's home from work just before five o'clock, I can get back | :03:38. | :03:43. | |
here. If she's not, I have to stay the night, travel back on the ten | :03:43. | :03:48. | |
o'clock bus the following morning. What? There's no bus after five | :03:48. | :03:51. | |
o'clock? No. So Joyce, why do you think they're making these bus | :03:51. | :03:55. | |
cuts? They don't have to live like it. Do their mothers have to catch | :03:55. | :03:57. | |
buses to go and look after the grandchildren? | :03:57. | :04:00. | |
Last year, Leicestershire County Council threatened to cut the | :04:00. | :04:05. | |
subsidy to Joyce's bus. That would have meant the end of the line for | :04:05. | :04:10. | |
the 129. For the elderly people in Belton village, the 81-year-olds, | :04:10. | :04:13. | |
this is their lifeline and if this goes, they have got nothing because | :04:13. | :04:17. | |
they don't see anyone from one day to the next. | :04:17. | :04:20. | |
This bus has been saved but only after Joyce and her friends | :04:20. | :04:23. | |
petitioned the county council. But that's more than can be said for | :04:23. | :04:26. | |
the people of Heather, nine miles down the road. We haven't got a bus | :04:26. | :04:32. | |
in our village at all. It's not fair really. No, it isn't fair. | :04:33. | :04:36. | |
I've lived in Heather for 60 years. I know times have changed but we've | :04:36. | :04:39. | |
always had buses. Buses to take my children to school, me to work, | :04:39. | :04:43. | |
bring me home, the shoppers. council's pulled the subsidy for | :04:43. | :04:46. | |
their bus service and not surprisingly, it's stopped running. | :04:46. | :04:52. | |
So they've now got no bus service whatsoever. It was the end of March | :04:52. | :04:57. | |
and it just stopped and that's it. At weekends... Well, you're stuck | :04:57. | :05:01. | |
in the village. We're cut off, we're on an island, that's how I | :05:01. | :05:08. | |
feel. I go out once a week shopping. I can't get to the shops, I can't | :05:08. | :05:13. | |
go... I feel like a prisoner, full- stop. | :05:13. | :05:16. | |
Fancy taking away a whole village's only means of public transport. | :05:16. | :05:20. | |
That really takes the biscuit. It all seems a bit hasty, a bit rushed. | :05:20. | :05:24. | |
And it's a similar story 14 miles up the road in Woodhouse Eaves. | :05:25. | :05:28. | |
don't think they thought it through at all. I don't think they've even | :05:28. | :05:32. | |
thought about how it would affect people. Lauren depended on the bus | :05:32. | :05:36. | |
to get to work. She used to live in the village until they cut the | :05:36. | :05:40. | |
service in the evenings and on Sundays. Gradually over the time | :05:40. | :05:43. | |
I've been here, it's just basically deteriorated to the point where now | :05:43. | :05:53. | |
:05:53. | :05:53. | ||
last year it became so bad I had to Well, it's time to get back 'On The | :05:53. | :06:00. | |
Buses' to get some answers. Who's pulling the subsidies and why? | :06:00. | :06:03. | |
We're going to see the man who deals with the money at Leicester | :06:03. | :06:12. | |
Council, come on. But first we have First stop - Loughborough Library. | :06:12. | :06:16. | |
Hi, I'm Anna Karen. And you are? I'm Councillor Nick Rushton, deputy | :06:16. | :06:18. | |
leader of Leicestershire County Council. I want to talk to you | :06:18. | :06:21. | |
about this. All these people have come because they're really fed up | :06:21. | :06:24. | |
that their buses have been cancelled. Would you like to talk | :06:24. | :06:29. | |
to some of them? Michael Mullaney, I'm a local councillor down in | :06:29. | :06:32. | |
Hinkley and Bosworth. I've been involved in a campaign to try and | :06:32. | :06:35. | |
restore some of the cut bus services that go through Market | :06:35. | :06:38. | |
Bosworth and Newbold Desford to Leicester, the 153 bus service. | :06:38. | :06:40. | |
We've had over 1,000 people sign the petitions and therefore we're | :06:40. | :06:44. | |
asking you if you can think again about some of the cuts that have | :06:44. | :06:49. | |
been made. We have to balance the books. I can look into the 153 in | :06:49. | :06:52. | |
particular for you. Our problem is that we have to make �79 million | :06:52. | :06:56. | |
worth of savings over the next four years and we are one of the only | :06:56. | :06:59. | |
counties in the country that has a policy that everybody should live | :06:59. | :07:03. | |
within 800 metres of an hourly bus service. Can I just pick you up on | :07:03. | :07:06. | |
what you said about everybody living within 800 metres of a bus | :07:06. | :07:10. | |
service? On a Sunday and on a Bank Holiday Monday, there is no bus | :07:10. | :07:14. | |
service and that is to Bradgate Park which is one of the most used | :07:14. | :07:21. | |
tourist areas. It just makes a mockery of that pledge. It's not | :07:21. | :07:25. | |
really been kept, has it? Can I just ask you, the money that you | :07:25. | :07:28. | |
get, where does this come from? majority of the money in | :07:28. | :07:33. | |
Leicestershire comes from council tax payers. You are going to be | :07:33. | :07:36. | |
paying 75% of whatever we spend on buses. Only a quarter comes from | :07:36. | :07:39. | |
the Government. You could do with more, couldn't you? Leicestershire | :07:39. | :07:42. | |
is one of the poorest funded counties in the country. They say | :07:42. | :07:45. | |
we're wealthy so we don't need the money. Oh, right. Shall we go to | :07:45. | :07:48. | |
central government and talk to them then? Yes. Right, we'll have a go | :07:48. | :07:58. | |
:07:58. | :07:59. | ||
Come on. On you get, hurry up! This bus might be old but it | :07:59. | :08:01. | |
doesn't half shift and it's not long before we've got the | :08:01. | :08:07. | |
Here we are at Westminster. We're just about to come over Westminster | :08:07. | :08:17. | |
:08:17. | :08:27. | ||
Save our buses, save our buses X, save our buses! | :08:27. | :08:32. | |
I am not sure if the minister expected such a crowd. You just | :08:32. | :08:35. | |
don't realise what you are doing to people's lives. You know, "cut back, | :08:35. | :08:38. | |
cut back, save money here, save money there". What about these poor | :08:38. | :08:42. | |
people? Bus companies are legally meant to be no worse off and no | :08:42. | :08:44. | |
better off for carrying concessionary travel. Are you | :08:44. | :08:47. | |
suggesting then that the councillor this morning who said his hands | :08:47. | :08:50. | |
were tied and it's all down to Westminster was actually not | :08:50. | :08:52. | |
telling the truth? Their hands aren't tied, they've got freedom | :08:52. | :08:55. | |
within their envelope. I don't pretend they've got an easy | :08:55. | :08:58. | |
settlement. They've got less money than they had before. It's up to | :08:58. | :09:01. | |
councils how they make their savings so they have got a | :09:01. | :09:05. | |
difficult position. Do they have to cut buses? No, they don't. | :09:05. | :09:08. | |
politician says one thing, another says something else. Who do you | :09:08. | :09:13. | |
believe? But we've told them what we think about our buses being cut. | :09:13. | :09:17. | |
Let's see if it makes a difference. Meanwhile back in Heather, they've | :09:17. | :09:27. | |
:09:27. | :09:29. | ||
had five months of no buses. But This is it, ladies. It's an eight- | :09:29. | :09:32. | |
seater, or it's known as eight paying seats and a driver. We can | :09:32. | :09:35. | |
actually go up to a 16-seater without having a special licence to | :09:35. | :09:40. | |
carry passengers. There's only one problem with this. He needs | :09:40. | :09:45. | |
volunteers to drive it and donations to keep it on the road. | :09:45. | :09:50. | |
But what do they think about it? The seats are not very good. | :09:50. | :09:54. | |
don't want this. I like getting on a bus. It's lovely to go to a bus | :09:54. | :09:59. | |
stop and get on a bus. They've had this free transport for many, many | :09:59. | :10:03. | |
years. They feel they've got a right to it and I'm really not sure | :10:03. | :10:06. | |
whether they have or not. We've got to start looking after ourselves. | :10:06. | :10:09. | |
We've got used to the nanny state and now unfortunately like | :10:09. | :10:12. | |
everything else, all good things come to an end and we've got to | :10:12. | :10:17. | |
buckle down and do it ourselves. The sun may be setting on our rural | :10:17. | :10:20. | |
buses but Virge is sure he's got the answer. Who knows, maybe more | :10:20. | :10:26. | |
people like him will start setting up on their own. Sadly, that might | :10:26. | :10:36. | |
:10:36. | :10:39. | ||
be the only way we can keep buses Next, the persistent callers making | :10:39. | :10:42. | |
life a misery for those at the receiving end. We all know how | :10:42. | :10:45. | |
annoying it is getting cold calls, trying to sell us something we | :10:45. | :10:49. | |
don't want. But as Mary Rhodes has been finding out, in one case those | :10:49. | :10:56. | |
calls had a devastating impact on I've heard about a group of pushy | :10:56. | :10:59. | |
publishers operating in the Midlands. I'm told their telesales | :10:59. | :11:03. | |
teams will stop at nothing to get a sale. And once they've made one | :11:03. | :11:10. | |
sale, the chances are they'll be And I want to find out just how far | :11:10. | :11:20. | |
:11:20. | :11:23. | ||
they'll go. 80-year-old John has a flat in France, and he used an | :11:23. | :11:29. | |
advert to let it. And when it and call came in for another advert, he | :11:29. | :11:33. | |
agreed but then got bombarded from other newspapers like the North | :11:33. | :11:36. | |
Thames press. How frequently were they calling | :11:36. | :11:46. | |
:11:46. | :11:47. | ||
you? Constantly. 6, 7, 8 calls per day. From each of the difference | :11:47. | :11:51. | |
publications. It was a very difficult time for me because my | :11:51. | :12:00. | |
wife was very ill and I find it difficult to deal with these people | :12:01. | :12:10. | |
:12:11. | :12:12. | ||
The persistent calls got so bad he contacted the police. It's when I | :12:12. | :12:16. | |
arrived at the address, I could see John was clearly distressed, his | :12:16. | :12:22. | |
head was in his hands all the time. We phoned British Telecom and we | :12:22. | :12:25. | |
took the numbers and noted where they were coming from and we stuck | :12:25. | :12:30. | |
the two numbers and they could not come through on a land line, and | :12:30. | :12:34. | |
were then commit to form a mobile. But the police could not help John | :12:34. | :12:40. | |
because it was a civil matter, not a criminal one. | :12:40. | :12:42. | |
John's daughter Franny was horrified to discover that various | :12:42. | :12:45. | |
newspapers had charged tens of thousands of pounds to her father's | :12:45. | :12:55. | |
:12:55. | :12:57. | ||
accounts. It was inexplicable to me. And totally horrifying. He had | :12:57. | :13:03. | |
He seemed to have agreed to advertise in newspapers run by | :13:03. | :13:05. | |
Wyvern Media, sometimes known as Journal Group Production Company | :13:06. | :13:14. | |
Limited, which claims to own 28 different newspapers. | :13:14. | :13:16. | |
Things got so bad that in four consecutive days, the Derby-based | :13:16. | :13:20. | |
group took up to six payments each and every day, totalling more than | :13:20. | :13:30. | |
:13:30. | :13:31. | ||
�10,000. So what do the company say I don't know why I was taken in by | :13:31. | :13:36. | |
all this, looking back at it. It became obvious that there were no | :13:36. | :13:46. | |
:13:46. | :13:47. | ||
responses from them. So you had no What does the company say about it? | :13:47. | :13:51. | |
In a letter, Wyvern Media told us... Staff have no way of knowing if | :13:51. | :13:53. | |
their customers are frail or vulnerable and that John freely | :13:53. | :13:56. | |
signed all the orders he placed. They say that if the company | :13:56. | :13:58. | |
becomes aware of unethical or harassing conduct, they take | :13:59. | :14:03. | |
appropriate action to ensure it doesn't recur. | :14:03. | :14:06. | |
Our evidence suggests that John had tried to stop the calls, writing | :14:06. | :14:12. | |
messages like "please leave us alone", and "we cannot afford this". | :14:12. | :14:15. | |
A salesman wrote back. "No more and we will block | :14:15. | :14:20. | |
unnecessary calls". But they got in touch again two days later. The | :14:20. | :14:24. | |
company said it would investigate. John isn't the only customer who's | :14:24. | :14:28. | |
unhappy with Wyvern Media. Dog breeder Jean Wood agreed to pay for | :14:28. | :14:33. | |
two adverts selling her puppies. At �40 an advert it sounded like a | :14:33. | :14:35. | |
good deal. What she hadn't bargained for was the unauthorised | :14:35. | :14:45. | |
:14:45. | :14:48. | ||
payments. I had two invoices for the ones I had paid for for �40. | :14:48. | :14:54. | |
That was OK, but then I got invoices for with paid on which I | :14:54. | :15:00. | |
have not asked for. I got six payments off my credit cards that I | :15:00. | :15:10. | |
Unauthorised payments, surely just a mistake, a one-off. Not according | :15:10. | :15:14. | |
to Polly Zabari who runs a bespoke travel business. She originally | :15:14. | :15:17. | |
agreed to an advert in the Lincolnshire and South Yorkshire | :15:17. | :15:27. | |
:15:27. | :15:27. | ||
Telegraph, another Wyvern Media newspaper. They sent me the more | :15:27. | :15:30. | |
Cup and it could have been written by my seven-year-old son, it was | :15:30. | :15:38. | |
appalling. -- they gave me the initial impression. This rang alarm | :15:38. | :15:43. | |
bells, that it was not as good as that I was told it would be. | :15:43. | :15:46. | |
Polly thought further emails were just tweaks to her original ad. But | :15:46. | :15:49. | |
in nine weeks, the company had charged more than �5,000 to her | :15:49. | :15:56. | |
account. This is the bank paperwork? Yes. I | :15:56. | :16:01. | |
had never seen this before. This is the confirmation of advertising | :16:01. | :16:05. | |
orders and I have never seen a published copy or a receipt despite | :16:05. | :16:15. | |
:16:15. | :16:17. | ||
being told about them. Every statement says the"cardholder not | :16:17. | :16:22. | |
present close quote. I have had to close the company. | :16:22. | :16:25. | |
Wyvern Media says it has never been the organisation's practice to take | :16:25. | :16:27. | |
unauthorised payments from customers. It adds the company now | :16:27. | :16:30. | |
records all sales calls and complaints have dropped to three or | :16:30. | :16:32. | |
four a month out of several thousand sales. They add if | :16:32. | :16:35. | |
customers feel money has been taken without proper authorisation, this | :16:35. | :16:39. | |
can be reclaimed through their credit cards. | :16:39. | :16:41. | |
The company director Jonathan Rivers said he would investigate | :16:41. | :16:51. | |
:16:51. | :16:57. | ||
I need to see if anybody else can back up what our disgruntled | :16:57. | :17:00. | |
advertisers have told us. Who better to ask than people who used | :17:01. | :17:10. | |
:17:11. | :17:14. | ||
Student Ryan only managed three days at one of the titles owned by | :17:14. | :17:18. | |
Wyvern Media. He has agreed to meet me outside the offices to talk. | :17:18. | :17:23. | |
my first day, one member of staff actually said to the room at large, | :17:23. | :17:30. | |
this is the biggest legal scam out there today. At that point, I was | :17:30. | :17:37. | |
sat there thinking to myself, is this guy serious? | :17:37. | :17:40. | |
But in just three unpaid days, Ryan didn't have a lot of experience so | :17:40. | :17:43. | |
I found another former employee who wants to talk about unauthorised | :17:43. | :17:50. | |
payments, but keep her identity concealed. Calls came in saying | :17:50. | :17:54. | |
that certain payments had been taken out of their bank accounts | :17:55. | :17:59. | |
without authorisation, we kept our heads down and we knew we would be | :17:59. | :18:03. | |

Wyvern Media pointed at one rouge salesman as the reason for some | :18:06. | :18:08. | |
unauthorised payments. They add that by percentage, complaints are | :18:08. | :18:11. | |
tiny. For those customers who say they didn't get any replies to | :18:11. | :18:14. | |
adverts, they say advertising is very hit and miss and no company | :18:14. | :18:21. | |
Meanwhile for customers left bruised by the experience of | :18:21. | :18:25. | |
placing an advertisement in one of Mr River's papers, we plan to pass | :18:25. | :18:27. | |
our information onto Trading Standards so that they can | :18:27. | :18:37. | |

Before the days of the download, there was a time when a record | :18:41. | :18:44. | |
sleeve was a work of art. Jimi Hendrix, Pink Floyd and The Rolling | :18:44. | :18:46. | |
Stones turned their album covers into mini masterpieces and a tiny | :18:46. | :18:49. | |
village in Derbyshire became the unlikely location for a star- | :18:49. | :18:53. | |
studded photoshoot. Mick Jagger's brother, Chris, tells the story of | :18:53. | :19:03. | |
the day The Stones came to It's summer, 1968, a year after | :19:03. | :19:08. | |
"The Summer Of Love". It was a lively time for my brother's band. | :19:08. | :19:11. | |
The Stones had just released Jumpin' Jack Flash and their | :19:11. | :19:13. | |
subsequent seventh studio album, Beggars Banquet was being completed | :19:13. | :19:23. | |
:19:23. | :19:26. | ||
# Please allow me to introduce myself, I am a man of wealth and | :19:26. | :19:36. | |
:19:36. | :19:38. | ||
This tiny Derbyshire village was chosen as the site to photograph | :19:39. | :19:44. | |
and promote the Rolling Stones's' latest album, Beggars Banquet. I | :19:44. | :19:48. | |
will look around the little village and see if there are people who can | :19:48. | :19:58. | |
:19:58. | :20:09. | ||
remember that day and if they can, You are the one on the left? Yes, | :20:09. | :20:14. | |
having my photograph taken with Brian Jones. He was wearing tights? | :20:14. | :20:18. | |
It was brilliant. We jumped the ball, we wondered what it was all | :20:19. | :20:28. | |
:20:29. | :20:29. | ||
about. -- jumped the wall. Somebody came out and painted something | :20:29. | :20:33. | |
white. Even now, it would be extraordinary in a local village to | :20:33. | :20:43. | |
:20:43. | :20:44. | ||
Some people probably still go in the local pub and say they remember | :20:44. | :20:52. | |
when the Stones came in, and that was the way it was. Did he | :20:52. | :20:58. | |
preferred the Stones or the Before I go in search of the | :20:58. | :21:00. | |
official Rolling Stones photographer, I'm in the county | :21:00. | :21:04. | |
where my grandparents lived. I'm in Derbyshire meeting a couple from | :21:04. | :21:12. | |
Swarkestone who were newly-weds And when The Stones rolled into | :21:12. | :21:22. | |
:21:22. | :21:22. | ||
town, they caught it all on their Who told you this was happening, | :21:22. | :21:27. | |
have you heard it on the grapevine or was it sprung on you? Brian used | :21:27. | :21:36. | |
to pop up to the local. Brian, your husband was Mackie s, and he came | :21:36. | :21:44. | |
back and I said to him,"to have you seen today? "and he said,"oh well, | :21:44. | :21:49. | |
Brian Jones, Mick Jagger. And I said I don't believe you. He said | :21:49. | :21:54. | |
after lunch he would take me. We walked up by the Church and I saw | :21:54. | :21:59. | |
the black limos and all the activity and I thought he was right | :21:59. | :22:06. | |
so I ran back for Brian's autograph book. Brian's photos, they are | :22:06. | :22:11. | |
absolutely unique. Together with the poster which we know quite a | :22:11. | :22:20. | |
lot of one way or another. But I sound like a bloke on Cash in the | :22:20. | :22:25. | |
Attic! This is quite impressive with all the original autograph, | :22:25. | :22:30. | |
frame it up and there's quite a collector's piece here. You have | :22:30. | :22:38. | |
kept them in such good condition, The reason my brother's band came | :22:38. | :22:41. | |
to Derbyshire was to shoot a sequence of shots to promote | :22:41. | :22:46. | |
Beggars Banquet and maybe get an album cover. This was their seventh | :22:46. | :22:49. | |
album and one which caused a rift between the band and their record | :22:49. | :22:54. | |
label. More about that story a little later. | :22:54. | :22:57. | |
First I want to find out why a tiny Derbyshire village was picked for | :22:57. | :23:02. | |
this photoshoot. So I'm off to London, to meet Michael Joseph who | :23:03. | :23:05. | |
was a fresh-faced professional photographer making his mark in the | :23:05. | :23:15. | |
:23:15. | :23:20. | ||
# Take Me to the station, and put me on a train # | :23:20. | :23:24. | |
Michael's shoot stretched over two days. Day one - the interiors were | :23:24. | :23:26. | |
shot inside Sarum Chase, an impressive house in north London. | :23:26. | :23:30. | |
The following day, the band's limos shot up a newly created motorway to | :23:30. | :23:40. | |
:23:40. | :23:40. | ||
Perhaps you could tell me why you went to Swarkestone Hall, quite a | :23:40. | :23:46. | |
trip from London, usually could have found follies. Not with the M1 | :23:46. | :23:56. | |
:23:56. | :23:58. | ||
motorway and thanks to make playing on two Daimlers, we caught up to | :23:58. | :24:03. | |
several miles per hour on the road. The only exciting thing for Bill | :24:03. | :24:07. | |
Whyman was doing 100 mph on the road, nothing to do with the | :24:07. | :24:11. | |
record! We chose Swarkestone because it was the only place that | :24:11. | :24:15. | |
was derelict and a total ruin. It wouldn't have had the magic if it | :24:16. | :24:20. | |
had the windows in. Somebody checked it out? I was given a | :24:20. | :24:26. | |
couple of options and when I saw this wacky stuff, I knew it was the | :24:26. | :24:30. | |
place. As you can see, all the grass and the cricket scene, I | :24:30. | :24:40. | |
:24:40. | :24:44. | ||
The cricket shot, an iconic shot of rock'n'roll photography, up there | :24:44. | :24:50. | |
with David Bailey. It is iconic because it is so unlikely. The | :24:50. | :24:53. | |
stones at that point were beautifully dangerous, the idea | :24:53. | :24:57. | |
they would actually play cricket in the middle of nowhere... It is a | :24:57. | :25:02. | |
picture when, was to have seen it, you don't forget it. You can see | :25:02. | :25:06. | |
the results of digital photography, but back then, they probably did | :25:06. | :25:11. | |
not have Polaroids and so how can you even know if it is really going | :25:11. | :25:15. | |
to work or not? You want to get in as many pictures as possible but | :25:16. | :25:19. | |
the interesting thing is, years later, you look at them and they | :25:19. | :25:26. | |
have such great quality and so sometimes you can look at these | :25:26. | :25:30. | |
things two weeks later and pink "that is not that good" and you can | :25:30. | :25:36. | |
look at it 20 years later and think, wow, that was great. It takes a bit | :25:36. | :25:43. | |
of time to digest it, like a wine. It takes time to sit and mature. | :25:43. | :25:48. | |
So it was all down to Michael and my brother, Michael, liking the | :25:48. | :25:52. | |
look of this Derbyshire ruin and the rest as they say his musical | :25:52. | :25:56. | |
history. # Parachute woman, London me | :25:56. | :26:06. | |
:26:06. | :26:08. | ||
tonight and sun. Now, some 40 years later, the place is still a place | :26:08. | :26:11. | |
for Rolling Stones fan has. It has been entirely rebuilt using | :26:11. | :26:21. | |
:26:21. | :26:27. | ||
original material and as close to Any trouble, and he will be out! -- | :26:27. | :26:36. | |
Many pictures of this place did not make the front cover of Beggars | :26:36. | :26:44. | |
Banquet because, a urinal covered in graffiti. The record company did | :26:44. | :26:49. | |
not want this, and surprisingly, so they held out the release for many | :26:49. | :26:57. | |
months won the argument -- while the argument was decided. The | :26:57. | :27:01. | |
invite was playing it originally. On the inside, is this medieval | :27:01. | :27:07. | |
looking debauchery which Michael Joseph took. However, the story | :27:07. | :27:12. | |
finally ends in the Swarkestone Pavilion, it appeared on a | :27:12. | :27:22. | |
:27:22. | :27:24. | ||
compilation record later called Rocks. | :27:24. | :27:28. | |
Sadly my brother and the band are a bit too busy to make a return visit. | :27:28. | :27:31. | |
But I've laid on a real treat. A cracking tribute band for the | :27:31. | :27:34. | |
locals who still reminisce about the day the Stones came to | :27:34. | :27:44. | |
:27:44. | :27:46. | ||
Why are you wearing your hockey Kate? It was the 1960s, that is | :27:46. | :27:56. | |
:27:56. | :28:03. | ||
They were all very pleasant and they enjoyed a cup of tea and a | :28:03. | :28:10. | |
cake. Conversations was abound in the family that the Rolling Stones | :28:10. | :28:15. | |
used our toilet. Presumably most people thought what are these long- | :28:15. | :28:25. | |
