A: Helen, help Ian out on this one.

H: Is it a football team? Oh no,
it's the Beatles! And that's Radio
1, because I can read. And
that's...
I: That's Radio 1's only listener isn't it?
H: I think it's something to do with the fact that the Beatles are all going to
get together and bring out a Christmas disc, and indeed John Lennon is also
making his contribution from the other side of the grave.
I: How?
H: Are you heckling me? You're
supposed to be on my side!
I: No, I'm interested!
H: I'm going to call him Sir Teddy poppet or something in a minute.
Lovely Fluff Bundles!
A: Makes a change from what he's normally called on this programme.
Yes, John has kindly agreed to return from the dead.
H: Yes, I think someone found some tapes he had once recorded in his bedroom
doing something, and they're putting them all together and they're making a
Christmas disc.
T: I tell you the chap I listen to - up and down in the car, you know, listening
to the radio and my daughter's got some of these funny pop records - the chap I
think is the best is Bob Marley. Have
you heard him?

Teddy enthuses about Bob Marley
P: Mmm.
T: Fantastic, he really is. I'm not
kidding, he is. I tell you, he's
got a wonderful song that summarises the European policy. It just says...
P: No Woman No Cry?
T: No, no, Don't Worry About Anything Baby Because Everything's Going To Be All
Right.
A: Ah, yes.
P: So you're a Bob Marley fan then?
T: I am yes. I'm not kidding.
H: This is actually a more surreal experience than I ever actually thought it
would be on this programme!
T: What do you listen to on the car radio?
Tell me!
H: I don't know - I obviously don't have the same choice of hallucinogenic drugs
that you do.
PICTURED: Helen ponders Sir Teddy's choice of hallucinogen
T: Try Bob Marley, I'm not kidding, he's fantastic!
A: Yes.
I: So kids at home, try Bob Marley - but be careful!

Ian tries his hand at being a Public Information Film
A: Yes, well we seem to have turned this programme into The Word.
It is the exciting release this week of the news album of Beatles recordings
which weren't good enough to be released the first time round. Yoko Ono
has given the project her blessing. She said she knew John would have
wanted her to receive an enormous royalty cheque.
