I was never a big fan of many of the pop stars, preferring Frank Sinatra, Matt Monro and Petula Clark. I was the first person to play Elvis Presley and Bill Haley and his Comets. I've never been an Elvis fan. I can see how wonderful he is, but he was never my sort of singer. Show less «

We were doing the show live, and the noise beforehand was unbelievable. So I simply addressed the audience before the boys came on, and said, "Look, we'd all much rather hear what The Beatles have to say rather than a lot of screaming". And you know what?

Jon [Jon Pertwee] was one of the funniest men that Britain has ever produced, one of the greatest character actors, he was marginally eccentric, he lived his life to the full.

I loved him as a friend, he was my dear old mate, I have so many memories. Show less «
