Quotes 

• Brian Epstein : Starting first of June, 12 weeks, all right? Top of the bill, Lena Martell; Bimbo the Performing Dog; Zelda the Hypnotist...

  Michael White : What's he done?

  Brian Epstein : What's he done? He's done 12 weeks at Blackpool, that's all he's done. Alright, no, listen... compere-cum-comic, he doubles up, you win at both ends, Johnny Clamp, right? You can't go wrong. And the music, we've got a lovely little combo...

  [consults scrap of paper] 

  Brian Epstein : called The Beatles. Right? There you go. Joan of Arc haircuts and rock n' roll, the kids love it.

  Michael White : What do they do?

  Brian Epstein : What do they do? About fifteen minutes, they're good for a fill, they're excellent.

  Michael White : Alright, I'll tell you what I'll do. Drop the hypnotist; I like Joan of Arc, I'll take the combo.
