Stuart Hutchinson talks to the Beatles about Paul’s recent illness (causing them to postpone a couple of shows), and the group’s recent photo opportunity wearing police helmets outside a Birmingham theatre.

HUTCHISON: “Well Paul, how are you after your collapse we read about?”
PAUL: “I didn’t really collapse. That was just the naughty newspapers, writing it. Misquote! Nah, I just had a bit of flu, you know. I’m fine today, thank you.”
HUTCHISON: “You’re feeling alright?”
PAUL: “Lovely. Real lovely.”
HUTCHISON: “How are the rest of you? How are you going to avoid catching…?”
JOHN: “We’re fine, thank you.”
GEORGE: “Oh, we’re OK. Yeah, great.”
HUTCHISON: “Are you taking any cold prevention, now?”
PAUL: “Yeah, I’m taking ’em all. Got ’em all.”
JOHN: “It’s only one-and-six a tube.”
HUTCHISON: “How about these escape plans you keep beating about? You got out of one place disguised as policemen.”
BEATLES: “No, no!”
GEORGE: “We didn’t, actually. We put the policemen’s helmets on…”
PAUL: “Just for a laugh, you know.”
GEORGE: “Yeah.”
PAUL: “The policemen said, ‘Aw, let’s have a laugh, and put these helmets…'”
GEORGE: “We jumped out of the van, and you know… The press were there to take the photographs, so we jumped out with the helmets on. So the next day it was…”
PAUL: “The next day you read in the papers…”
GEORGE: “…here they are, disguised.”
RINGO: “Have you ever seen a policeman in a corduroy coat?”
JOHN: “I have. I saw one back in 1832, I think.”
RINGO: “He knows, you see.”
HUTCHISON: “Did you put the helmets on over the haircuts?”
PAUL: “Yeah.”
RINGO: “Sure.”
JOHN: “Well, we couldn’t put them underneath.”
PAUL: “And I also read in the papers today, there’s a man who said we wear wigs!”
RINGO: “WE DON’T!”
PAUL: “We don’t. Honest. Feel it.”
HUTCHISON: “True. It’s lovely, yes. Oh, on this program a few weeks ago, somebody said the Beatles haircut was going out because the fringe was so long you couldn’t see the birds. What comment have you got to make on that?”
JOHN: “IT’S A DIRTY LIE!”
PAUL: “We can see quite well. I can see quite well, thanks, John.”
GEORGE: “Well, some of us can.”
HUTCHISON: “Are you looking forward to doing it tonight?”
BEATLES: “Yeah!”
PAUL: “Of course.”
HUTCHISON: “Well, they’ve all been looking forward to seeing you, and they’re out there now. Thank you very much, boys.”
BEATLES: “Thank you.”
JOHN: “Pleasure.”
