National Television. Steve Shorter.
Slate one, take one.
3
00:00:24,333 --> 00:00:26,824
I would just like to say to you all...
4
00:00:27,936 --> 00:00:30,700
how happy I am to be back in Britain
5
00:00:31,273 --> 00:00:33,002
after my American tour.
6
00:01:31,434 --> 00:01:35,302
The name of this young man
is Steven Shorter.
7
00:01:35,838 --> 00:01:40,969
He is being given the first ticker-tape
welcome in the history of Britain.
8
00:01:41,411 --> 00:01:45,211
But Steven Shorter is not
a president or a politician.
9
00:01:45,682 --> 00:01:47,741
He is a pop singer.
10
00:02:10,040 --> 00:02:13,771
The reason given for
the extreme violence of the stage act
11
00:02:13,944 --> 00:02:15,502
that you are about to see
12
00:02:15,813 --> 00:02:19,443
is that it provides the public
with a necessary release
13
00:02:19,617 --> 00:02:21,983
from all the nervous tension caused
14
00:02:22,153 --> 00:02:23,711
by the state of the world...
15
00:02:24,222 --> 00:02:25,621
outside.
16
00:02:29,194 --> 00:02:33,062
The performance for which
Steven Shorter is now being prepared
17
00:02:33,331 --> 00:02:37,199
is based on the sentence
he once served in prison.
18
00:02:38,236 --> 00:02:41,728
And so successful has
this violent act become
19
00:02:41,973 --> 00:02:44,339
that Steven Shorter
now finds himself
20
00:02:45,343 --> 00:02:49,678
the most desperately loved
entertainer in the world.
21
00:03:00,092 --> 00:03:03,357
Britain in the near future.
22
00:05:21,302 --> 00:05:24,738
I see it all before me
23
00:05:25,339 --> 00:05:28,866
My path's a restless wander
24
00:05:29,610 --> 00:05:33,137
My days and nights are torment
25
00:05:33,881 --> 00:05:37,078
A world of misery
26
00:05:37,852 --> 00:05:41,379
The bonds of retribution
27
00:05:41,956 --> 00:05:45,619
Now laid so carefully
28
00:05:46,227 --> 00:05:53,191
I cannot shed my pain so easily now
29
00:05:54,236 --> 00:05:56,727
My spirit's broken
30
00:05:58,006 --> 00:06:00,372
No will to live
31
00:06:01,977 --> 00:06:04,878
My body's all aching
32
00:06:06,081 --> 00:06:09,517
My hands are tied
33
00:06:09,818 --> 00:06:12,787
I need my freedom
34
00:06:13,722 --> 00:06:16,953
Not your sympathy
35
00:06:17,859 --> 00:06:21,193
Look, you needn't love me
36
00:06:21,931 --> 00:06:24,161
Just set me free
37
00:06:24,734 --> 00:06:26,395
Come on, come on
38
00:06:26,636 --> 00:06:28,228
Set me free
39
00:06:29,172 --> 00:06:32,232
Set me free
40
00:07:31,568 --> 00:07:34,935
Is there a way out for me?
41
00:07:35,506 --> 00:07:38,907
I kneel before you helpless
42
00:07:39,643 --> 00:07:43,272
Is there somebody out there?
43
00:07:43,914 --> 00:07:47,475
To take a chance on me
44
00:07:47,951 --> 00:07:51,512
I don't pretend to virtue
45
00:07:52,090 --> 00:07:55,253
I don't ask anything
46
00:07:56,227 --> 00:07:59,492
But if you want to help me
47
00:08:00,198 --> 00:08:03,634
My freedom's everything
48
00:08:03,768 --> 00:08:06,703
Now look! My spirit's broken
49
00:08:08,106 --> 00:08:10,097
No will to live
50
00:08:12,243 --> 00:08:14,609
My body's all aching
51
00:08:16,147 --> 00:08:19,048
My hands are tied
52
00:08:19,417 --> 00:08:20,213
I need...
53
00:08:20,452 --> 00:08:23,444
I need my freedom
54
00:08:23,955 --> 00:08:26,321
Not your sympathy
55
00:08:28,460 --> 00:08:30,860
Look, you needn't love me
56
00:08:32,464 --> 00:08:34,830
Just set me free
57
00:08:35,033 --> 00:08:36,523
Come on, come on
58
00:08:36,768 --> 00:08:38,429
Please set me free
59
00:08:39,104 --> 00:08:41,402
Set me free
60
00:10:05,192 --> 00:10:08,423
I see it all before me
61
00:10:09,095 --> 00:10:12,496
My darkest days of sorrow
62
00:10:13,099 --> 00:10:16,500
Salvation's been denied me
63
00:10:17,237 --> 00:10:20,331
No hope of liberty
64
00:10:21,274 --> 00:10:24,802
I only ask one question
65
00:10:25,413 --> 00:10:28,541
Please tell me if you can
66
00:10:29,350 --> 00:10:32,649
What good is retribution
67
00:10:33,554 --> 00:10:40,687
Without a helping hand?
68
00:11:31,580 --> 00:11:35,175
There is now a coalition
government in Britain
69
00:11:35,450 --> 00:11:38,544
which has recently asked
all entertainment agencies
70
00:11:38,720 --> 00:11:41,382
to usefully divert
the violence of youth.
71
00:11:41,623 --> 00:11:46,390
Keep them happy, off the streets
and out of politics.
72
00:11:57,707 --> 00:11:58,833
Very good show tonight.
73
00:11:58,975 --> 00:12:02,934
The basic thing is that, when we get
this European thing settled down...
74
00:12:03,079 --> 00:12:04,944
By the way, Martin, I'd like you to...
75
00:12:05,148 --> 00:12:07,309
I'd like to look over some of
the press releases I've got.
76
00:12:07,450 --> 00:12:10,248
This should be the greatest
European tour he's done yet.
77
00:12:10,453 --> 00:12:14,514
By the way, as I mentioned before,
the Far Eastern thing...
78
00:12:14,991 --> 00:12:18,324
- The potential there is tremendous...
- Did somebody give him a drink?
79
00:12:18,528 --> 00:12:21,656
Yes, I've offered...
Steve, do you want a drink?
80
00:12:23,266 --> 00:12:27,032
OK, you can let them in now, please.
Come in, ladies and gentlemen.
81
00:12:28,705 --> 00:12:32,539
There will shortly be 61 people
in this room
82
00:12:32,909 --> 00:12:38,176
of whom 54 have nothing whatever
to do with Steven Shorter.
83
00:12:38,414 --> 00:12:42,077
They are what you might call
"professional leaners. "
84
00:12:44,354 --> 00:12:47,414
All right, take it easy.
That's it. Have a drink.
85
00:12:52,528 --> 00:12:54,155
Vanessa Ritchie.
86
00:12:54,431 --> 00:12:58,424
Commissioned by the Ministry of Culture
to paint Steven Shorter.
87
00:13:09,513 --> 00:13:12,448
I first saw Steven Shorter
at a press reception
88
00:13:12,983 --> 00:13:15,178
given for him about 3 months ago.
89
00:13:15,452 --> 00:13:19,616
I couldn't get very close because of
the usual crowd of people around him.
90
00:13:20,557 --> 00:13:22,752
There was just something about him.
91
00:13:24,128 --> 00:13:28,997
It was the way he stood and looked
in the midst of all those people.
92
00:13:30,701 --> 00:13:38,301
I found a strange sort of emptiness
and I just wanted to paint him.
93
00:13:40,544 --> 00:13:43,104
- What was your name? Hedy, wasn't it?
- It's Betty.
94
00:13:43,547 --> 00:13:44,980
It's Betty!
95
00:13:45,315 --> 00:13:47,977
And this, our American friend,
is John B. Marshall.
96
00:13:48,152 --> 00:13:49,710
I'd like to say howdy, folks.
97
00:13:49,920 --> 00:13:53,185
Cool it, John. We'll hear
from you later. Isn't he wild?
98
00:13:55,126 --> 00:13:56,889
Enjoy yourself. Have a ball!
99
00:13:57,061 --> 00:13:59,052
All right! Hold it, everybody!
100
00:13:59,898 --> 00:14:02,298
Present time, Uncle Julie.
Right now, it's present time.
101
00:14:02,467 --> 00:14:06,233
- What's all this about?
- It's your birthday, Uncle Julie. 65.
102
00:14:06,371 --> 00:14:10,808
For he's a jolly good fellow!
For he's a jolly good fellow!
103
00:14:13,144 --> 00:14:16,580
Look. My accountant...
Do me a favour: count backwards.
104
00:14:16,948 --> 00:14:22,386
On the left is Alvin Kirsch,
Press Officer to Steven Shorter.
105
00:14:22,887 --> 00:14:28,656
And on the right is Jules Jordan,
music publisher to Steven Shorter
106
00:14:28,861 --> 00:14:33,025
and grossing �250,000 per year.
107
00:14:33,599 --> 00:14:35,692
Beautiful. Just beautiful.
108
00:14:36,235 --> 00:14:39,295
Thank you, Steve.
You're so good to me.
109
00:14:44,610 --> 00:14:45,736
You want to repeat the kiss?
110
00:14:45,911 --> 00:14:48,209
A replay for the kids.
Is that too much?
111
00:14:50,950 --> 00:14:53,350
The evening of August 8th.
112
00:14:53,953 --> 00:14:58,618
We are in one of
300 Steven Shorter discotheques
113
00:14:59,493 --> 00:15:01,791
specially built within
the last few years
114
00:15:01,962 --> 00:15:05,796
to spread happiness
throughout Britain.
115
00:15:06,333 --> 00:15:10,463
Not in a million, million years...
Look after this, will you?
116
00:15:11,671 --> 00:15:15,971
It's not business with us.
We're just one big happy family.
117
00:15:16,176 --> 00:15:21,580
Look at this kid: a doll, a prince.
I love this boy. Beautiful.
118
00:15:21,815 --> 00:15:26,081
We didn't frame it because we didn't
know where you'd like to put it.
119
00:15:33,426 --> 00:15:36,088
Vanessa... Vanessa.
120
00:15:37,230 --> 00:15:41,326
Martin Crossley,
personal manager to Steven Shorter.
121
00:15:41,601 --> 00:15:44,729
Do you find Miss Ritchie's
painting exciting?
122
00:15:46,339 --> 00:15:48,830
Well, I don't really know
much about art.
123
00:15:49,442 --> 00:15:50,670
Ask me about birds...
124
00:15:50,810 --> 00:15:53,108
I wasn't suggesting that
you should know about art.
125
00:15:53,280 --> 00:15:54,679
I was just wondering
if you had an opinion.
126
00:15:54,848 --> 00:15:56,009
Freddie, what do you think?
127
00:15:56,150 --> 00:15:59,483
I don't know much about art.
Ask me about bees and I'll tell you.
128
00:15:59,654 --> 00:16:01,781
Adolescent display
is not really called for.
129
00:16:01,956 --> 00:16:03,981
- I was just asking for an opinion.
- About her work?
130
00:16:04,325 --> 00:16:08,853
On the right is Freddie K,
musical director to Steven Shorter
131
00:16:09,063 --> 00:16:10,758
and self-confessed anarchist.
132
00:16:10,898 --> 00:16:13,492
It's not what it's about
anymore, is it?
133
00:16:13,734 --> 00:16:16,032
If you really go seriously into it
134
00:16:16,170 --> 00:16:19,333
you want to go to a place
where something's hanging
135
00:16:19,473 --> 00:16:20,838
that's got a bit of something it!
136
00:16:20,975 --> 00:16:23,409
Not all this nansy pansy stuff.
137
00:16:23,578 --> 00:16:25,808
I mean sort of...
She knows what I mean.
138
00:16:26,080 --> 00:16:30,608
When you see it and it's a bit
of everything that he's ever done.
139
00:16:30,751 --> 00:16:32,082
A bit of everything like...
140
00:16:32,420 --> 00:16:34,217
bathing and it should be going
to the toilet and that.
141
00:16:34,355 --> 00:16:38,883
Everything's in it. A bit of a man's life!
A bit of his soul! A bit of everything!
142
00:16:39,160 --> 00:16:41,594
That's what it's all about.
It's not this... Isn't it?
143
00:16:41,862 --> 00:16:43,022
I'm sure you'll agree.
144
00:16:45,232 --> 00:16:47,257
- Steven, can we help you?
- I was...
145
00:16:48,703 --> 00:16:49,863
I'd like to dance.
146
00:16:50,338 --> 00:16:52,829
We were trying to have
a conversation about painting.
147
00:16:56,377 --> 00:16:59,873
You might ask Miss Ritchie, Steven.
148
00:17:06,855 --> 00:17:11,155
Hey, little girl, I'm in a whirl
149
00:17:11,927 --> 00:17:15,829
I've been a bad, bad boy
150
00:17:15,998 --> 00:17:17,966
I'm on my knees
151
00:17:18,533 --> 00:17:20,558
Forgive me, please
152
00:17:21,069 --> 00:17:25,028
I've been a bad, bad boy
153
00:17:26,575 --> 00:17:28,543
They're all watching you.
154
00:17:33,015 --> 00:17:35,313
Well, they always are, aren't they?
155
00:17:37,519 --> 00:17:40,420
I was watching you last night
on television.
156
00:17:41,323 --> 00:17:44,258
I mean, obviously I've seen
your act before but...
157
00:17:44,726 --> 00:17:48,162
this time I was looking at it
much more clearly.
158
00:17:48,864 --> 00:17:53,665
Oh, yeah, I know...
I'm quite a phenomenon, aren't I?
159
00:17:55,037 --> 00:17:56,436
How does it go?
160
00:17:57,340 --> 00:18:00,901
"His act is nauseating.
It's sadistic. "
161
00:18:03,012 --> 00:18:05,480
There was one girl
they were interviewing.
162
00:18:05,948 --> 00:18:12,786
She was sobbing and she was saying
she'd kill herself for you.
163
00:18:18,394 --> 00:18:19,827
Yeah, I saw her.
164
00:18:25,101 --> 00:18:26,125
And?
165
00:18:30,441 --> 00:18:32,238
I thought she was lovely.
166
00:18:35,512 --> 00:18:37,878
Excuse me, sir. Step aside please.
167
00:18:38,282 --> 00:18:40,978
Alvin Kirsch is coming through.
Would you please excuse me?
168
00:18:41,185 --> 00:18:42,982
Hey, kids. Everything all right?
169
00:18:43,153 --> 00:18:44,848
I hate to break in at this time.
170
00:18:44,988 --> 00:18:48,424
Do you think you could just
cool it for a couple of minutes?
171
00:18:48,592 --> 00:18:50,651
Steve, I'd like to talk to you.
172
00:18:50,794 --> 00:18:53,490
I'd like to tell you about
the agreement numbers.
173
00:18:56,200 --> 00:18:57,633
Why don't you...?
174
00:18:58,336 --> 00:18:59,462
You'd like this, too.
175
00:19:09,614 --> 00:19:12,048
Steve... Even closer to you.
176
00:19:12,784 --> 00:19:18,620
Steve Electrics. Guaranteed.
Refrigerator, dishwasher, TV set...
177
00:19:18,790 --> 00:19:22,226
If we haven't got it
Steve will get it for you.
178
00:19:22,427 --> 00:19:24,588
He will because he can.
179
00:19:24,863 --> 00:19:29,232
Steve genuinely loves dogs.
He knows you do too
180
00:19:29,400 --> 00:19:33,200
which is why Steve Chunk dog food
is specially reduced in price
181
00:19:33,338 --> 00:19:36,364
from 10/6 on the current market
to 8/6.
182
00:19:36,574 --> 00:19:40,135
but not reduced in chunky,
tail-wagging nourishment.
183
00:19:40,445 --> 00:19:45,144
You are now in what is called
a Steve Dream Palace.
184
00:19:45,784 --> 00:19:47,945
These are 300 of these in Britain
185
00:19:48,286 --> 00:19:53,553
each designed to keep people happy
and buying British.
186
00:19:54,025 --> 00:20:00,124
Steve. His symbol, the arrow,
is your guarantee of satisfaction.
187
00:20:00,399 --> 00:20:05,234
Don't forget that when you buy in here
you're buying Steven Shorter.
188
00:20:08,307 --> 00:20:10,935
14 stone, 7.
189
00:20:11,644 --> 00:20:15,080
- Did you see the chick tonight?
- You're certainly putting it on, son.
190
00:20:15,214 --> 00:20:17,876
I'm not putting it on.
It's a little chemical problem.
191
00:20:18,050 --> 00:20:20,075
The body is still there.
The form is still there.
192
00:20:20,286 --> 00:20:24,120
They run after Steve but the overflow
I still get, I want you to know.
193
00:20:24,857 --> 00:20:27,985
What are you doing to your teeth
so much? All that gargling.
194
00:20:28,160 --> 00:20:29,752
Too much with that stuff.
195
00:20:35,634 --> 00:20:38,228
By the way, we've got to do
something about his wrists.
196
00:20:38,370 --> 00:20:40,565
- What wrists?
- What do you mean? His wrists.
197
00:20:40,940 --> 00:20:42,931
They're getting cut up,
all smashed up.
198
00:20:43,742 --> 00:20:45,642
Why does he have to lose
blood for nothing?
199
00:20:45,878 --> 00:20:48,472
I've got his name tattooed
all over me.
200
00:20:48,614 --> 00:20:53,051
Steve, I love you. Steve, wait for me.
Steve, be mine tonight.
201
00:20:53,586 --> 00:20:56,987
I dream about him a lot
and they're always horrid dreams
202
00:20:57,156 --> 00:20:59,284
because he always dies in the end.
203
00:20:59,659 --> 00:21:04,221
When I wake up I say thank you to God
because it was only a dream.
204
00:21:05,665 --> 00:21:09,795
We're falling down on two items, I said:
repentance and heart.
205
00:21:10,003 --> 00:21:11,698
Did they give you anything?
206
00:21:11,972 --> 00:21:14,338
I'm not a knocker
of this kind of music
207
00:21:14,474 --> 00:21:17,102
but the intro goes
something like this...
208
00:21:22,215 --> 00:21:24,012
Is he still giving you
those 4 bar intros?
209
00:21:24,150 --> 00:21:25,708
- 8 bars.
- It's 4 bars, Uncle Julie.
210
00:21:25,852 --> 00:21:27,376
You're counting it in 2. It's 4 bars.
211
00:21:27,554 --> 00:21:28,816
4 bars, 8 bars... Anyway...
212
00:21:29,189 --> 00:21:33,125
I said to the boy who wrote it what
made him think of that kind of a sound?
213
00:21:33,326 --> 00:21:34,987
How does it come here?
214
00:21:35,395 --> 00:21:36,760
And you know what he said to me?
215
00:21:36,897 --> 00:21:39,627
Maybe I'm a bit old-fashioned
but he said to me...
216
00:21:40,033 --> 00:21:41,933
And you'll never believe this, Alvin.
217
00:21:42,102 --> 00:21:46,368
He said to me that the sound came to him
when he was in a traffic jam.
218
00:21:46,640 --> 00:21:50,838
The hooters were blaring...
219
00:21:51,044 --> 00:21:53,512
And that's how he came to
the idea of the theme line.
220
00:21:54,347 --> 00:21:58,283
Still, who am I to complain?
His last disc sold...
221
00:21:58,551 --> 00:21:59,814
1 million, 200,000.
222
00:21:59,987 --> 00:22:02,785
- Wasn't it 400,000?
- 200,000.
223
00:22:03,124 --> 00:22:06,890
Anyway, we got together
and we worked out a song.
224
00:22:07,061 --> 00:22:10,724
Alvin, this could be
a minor sensation.
225
00:22:11,165 --> 00:22:13,099
Now, it goes like this...
226
00:22:14,435 --> 00:22:18,838
The boy's sitting in the prison cell...
You got the picture?
227
00:22:19,540 --> 00:22:24,477
Mother...
I never thought I'd miss your cooking
228
00:22:26,447 --> 00:22:31,545
Mother...
You're the nearest and dearest to my heart
229
00:22:31,787 --> 00:22:33,618
- Mother...
- When is the hook-up?
230
00:22:33,889 --> 00:22:37,950
Wait, wait, wait for it...
Can't you see, Mother?
231
00:22:38,293 --> 00:22:41,820
The bridge needs a little work here
but get the pay-off: the last line.
232
00:22:41,997 --> 00:22:49,301
The salt spray of my t-e-a-r-s...
233
00:22:51,673 --> 00:22:57,543
I don't want say that it
needs a little work but...
234
00:22:57,779 --> 00:23:00,078
Never thought I'd miss your...
235
00:23:05,888 --> 00:23:06,820
I'll start again.
236
00:23:06,956 --> 00:23:12,394
Mother...
I never thought I'd miss your cooking
237
00:23:13,196 --> 00:23:17,963
Mother...
You're the nearest and dearest to me
238
00:23:18,167 --> 00:23:22,126
Mother...
Can't you see, Mother?
239
00:23:22,205 --> 00:23:29,805
The salt spray of my t-e-a-r-s.
240
00:23:30,046 --> 00:23:33,482
- Well? How's that?
- It's a nice tune, Uncle Julie.
241
00:23:34,183 --> 00:23:35,912
Well, no, no. It's not.
It's a horrible tune.
242
00:23:36,052 --> 00:23:38,213
Do you know what
that tune is, Uncle Julie?
243
00:23:38,388 --> 00:23:44,759
It's a nostalgic breaking of wind
after a dinner of sentimentality.
244
00:23:44,961 --> 00:23:47,725
You know... I mean it's nothing.
Where's the adventure in it?
245
00:23:47,897 --> 00:23:51,799
This book is about a fat mother figure
who eats her children
246
00:23:51,934 --> 00:23:55,893
with her sentimental rubbish
and your tune panders to this.
247
00:23:56,472 --> 00:24:01,740
The very instruments you play,
the very balance is expressed by the shape.
248
00:24:02,613 --> 00:24:04,308
There's nothing to them at all.
249
00:24:11,889 --> 00:24:13,914
Mr. Hooper, how would you describe
250
00:24:14,058 --> 00:24:17,186
your function as Mr Shorter's
administrator?
251
00:24:17,661 --> 00:24:21,188
Well, one example I can give you...
252
00:24:21,331 --> 00:24:25,392
About 18 months ago Steven was
threatened with a paternity suit.
253
00:24:25,836 --> 00:24:28,236
So... what did you do?
254
00:24:28,605 --> 00:24:31,802
Well... I procured an abortion
255
00:24:32,676 --> 00:24:36,635
and arranged for the young lady
to be paid �500.
256
00:24:39,817 --> 00:24:45,380
I see. And how did you account
for this expenditure?
257
00:24:46,156 --> 00:24:47,783
I put it down to petty cash.
258
00:25:00,404 --> 00:25:02,100
We'll start with
the American tour, please.
259
00:25:02,307 --> 00:25:03,774
Andrew Goddard Butler
260
00:25:04,342 --> 00:25:07,243
director of a merchant bank
in the City of London
261
00:25:07,378 --> 00:25:11,178
and chairman of Steven Shorter
Enterprises Limited.
262
00:25:15,286 --> 00:25:18,778
Very well, gentlemen. We'll begin by
asking Martin to give us
263
00:25:18,957 --> 00:25:20,618
the results of the American tour.
264
00:25:23,995 --> 00:25:25,587
Right, gentlemen...
265
00:25:25,730 --> 00:25:32,067
The tour lasted 25 days and we covered
some 64,700 miles of travel
266
00:25:33,404 --> 00:25:39,104
The 25 days resulted in 64 appearances,
14 television appearances
267
00:25:39,444 --> 00:25:41,935
and charity functions.
268
00:25:42,080 --> 00:25:44,048
How many days off were there?
269
00:25:44,682 --> 00:25:46,115
Three.
270
00:25:50,522 --> 00:25:53,082
Is the boy all right?
271
00:25:54,425 --> 00:25:55,585
Have I...
272
00:25:56,895 --> 00:25:59,386
Have I said anything to indicate
that he isn't?
273
00:25:59,564 --> 00:26:04,502
The schedule sounds a little punishing.
274
00:26:05,671 --> 00:26:08,435
His schedule had the full approval
of Dr Malcolm.
275
00:26:10,442 --> 00:26:16,403
Gentlemen, let's be quite clear
on one point.
276
00:26:17,783 --> 00:26:20,877
Steven Shorter's personal life
is his own business.
277
00:26:21,053 --> 00:26:22,953
That's as it should be.
278
00:26:24,089 --> 00:26:25,181
But his well-being...
279
00:26:26,025 --> 00:26:30,155
physical and mental...
is very much of concern to us all.
280
00:26:32,332 --> 00:26:36,234
The last time I saw him I thought
he seemed nervous and withdrawn.
281
00:26:37,103 --> 00:26:38,161
I hope there's nothing...
282
00:26:38,538 --> 00:26:41,268
disturbing the boy of which
we have no knowledge.
283
00:26:41,808 --> 00:26:44,174
Stay there, Steve. Just relax.
You're awfully tense today.
284
00:26:44,344 --> 00:26:45,276
I don't know what's the matter
with you. Don't go away.
285
00:26:45,412 --> 00:26:47,744
Give him a ball someone.
Throw him a ball, will you?
286
00:26:47,847 --> 00:26:49,474
Get a few of you tossing
this ball up in the air...
287
00:26:49,683 --> 00:26:52,174
Can we get a ball please?
Someone give him a ball.
288
00:26:52,953 --> 00:26:54,682
Greg, will you give him
the ball please?
289
00:26:54,988 --> 00:26:58,185
Very nice. That's it.
Stretch it out towards me, Steve.
290
00:26:58,458 --> 00:27:00,187
Smile. Don't forget to smile.
That's very nice!
291
00:27:00,493 --> 00:27:04,521
Our first problem was to naturally
get rid of 35 pounds of excess weight.
292
00:27:04,832 --> 00:27:08,825
So we put him on this special
gymnasium-type gymnastic course
293
00:27:08,970 --> 00:27:11,370
with a lot of choppy
and exciting exercises.
294
00:27:11,505 --> 00:27:14,497
I don't know what they did
but they fixed up the problem.
295
00:27:15,843 --> 00:27:19,745
I'd say it took us about anywhere
from 18 months to 2 years
296
00:27:19,947 --> 00:27:21,812
to get him into his present
physical shape.
297
00:27:22,016 --> 00:27:25,349
Now what about taking your jacket off?
That towelling thing you've got on.
298
00:27:25,620 --> 00:27:28,282
Get a few of you in your shorts.
Come on, that's a great idea!
299
00:27:28,723 --> 00:27:30,315
A few for the girls!
300
00:27:30,791 --> 00:27:31,985
Do I have to?
301
00:27:32,126 --> 00:27:34,219
Yes. Come on, Steve.
What's the matter with you?
302
00:27:34,395 --> 00:27:37,057
You look wonderful.
Beautiful day. Come on.
303
00:27:37,598 --> 00:27:39,429
Steve, just for a couple of shots.
Can you just take it off?
304
00:27:39,600 --> 00:27:40,294
It won't take too long.
305
00:27:40,434 --> 00:27:42,561
- I won't take long, Steve.
- Just a couple of shots, Steve.
306
00:27:42,703 --> 00:27:47,299
Just a few. Come on now.
It's great. Wonderful. Good.
307
00:27:48,175 --> 00:27:51,167
Now, Steve... Smile, nice smile.
You're awfully tense. Relax.
308
00:27:51,345 --> 00:27:54,746
Right. Now put your chest out.
Beautiful one for the girls...
309
00:27:55,049 --> 00:27:57,313
Now then, Steve, another one.
And smile...
310
00:27:57,685 --> 00:27:59,710
- You got a fridge?
- No.
311
00:27:59,987 --> 00:28:01,420
Better buy you one then.
312
00:28:01,555 --> 00:28:05,219
Steve likes his chilled tomato juice
about 11.
313
00:28:05,394 --> 00:28:10,093
The following morning Bill Franks,
personal bodyguard to Steven Shorter
314
00:28:10,399 --> 00:28:13,562
and 5 ft 11 inches in uplift boots
315
00:28:13,735 --> 00:28:18,195
inspects the amenities
within Vanessa Ritchie's studio.
316
00:28:18,440 --> 00:28:20,499
Got hot and cold then?
317
00:28:22,377 --> 00:28:24,538
Toilet upstairs I suppose?
318
00:28:31,420 --> 00:28:33,285
That's a bit strong, isn't it?
319
00:28:39,861 --> 00:28:41,886
Is this where it all happens, then?
320
00:28:43,699 --> 00:28:45,030
Darling?
321
00:28:49,538 --> 00:28:51,472
Yeah, I suppose this...
322
00:28:52,507 --> 00:28:55,067
Well, this ought to do us, then,
darling.
323
00:28:56,178 --> 00:28:59,614
When am I going to have
another session with Steve?
324
00:28:59,881 --> 00:29:03,978
Tomorrow. Yeah, tomorrow
after the commercial.
325
00:29:04,454 --> 00:29:07,218
- What commercial?
- Apple Marketing Board.
326
00:29:08,825 --> 00:29:10,019
Here, have one.
327
00:29:10,593 --> 00:29:12,493
Good for your sex life.
328
00:29:13,863 --> 00:29:17,128
- I eat a bowl a day myself.
- Well, they don't do much for me.
329
00:29:17,300 --> 00:29:19,564
That's 'cos you don't eat
the pips, isn't it?
330
00:29:20,803 --> 00:29:21,861
Darling...
331
00:29:22,705 --> 00:29:23,865
Isn't it?
332
00:29:30,613 --> 00:29:33,411
Anyone ever told you
you're quite edible?
333
00:29:34,884 --> 00:29:36,511
Give us a bite, then.
334
00:29:38,688 --> 00:29:41,622
Mr. Jackman, what exactly is
the commercial purpose
335
00:29:41,824 --> 00:29:42,950
of today's advertisement?
336
00:29:43,092 --> 00:29:45,253
That's really quite straightforward.
337
00:29:45,628 --> 00:29:49,792
What we've got is the largest
national apple glut ever
338
00:29:50,433 --> 00:29:53,561
and unless something drastic
is done in the next 3 weeks
339
00:29:53,770 --> 00:29:56,933
642 million apples will rot.
340
00:29:57,306 --> 00:30:03,142
So the object of this commercial
and the 34 others which are planned
341
00:30:03,446 --> 00:30:06,007
is to get every man,
woman and child...
342
00:30:06,417 --> 00:30:07,441
The wind's changed direction.
343
00:30:07,584 --> 00:30:10,610
Can you move the fog machine
down to the water please?
344
00:30:10,754 --> 00:30:14,520
That is, babes in arms and
old age pensioners excepted...
345
00:30:14,792 --> 00:30:18,284
to eat 6 apples a day
for the whole of the summer.
346
00:30:19,496 --> 00:30:23,125
Now, Mr. Arbutt, how would you
describe your technique
347
00:30:23,300 --> 00:30:24,665
in shooting this commercial?
348
00:30:25,836 --> 00:30:29,101
Well, I've been very influenced by
the work of the Moscow Art Theatre
349
00:30:29,239 --> 00:30:30,831
and certain of our
modern philosophers.
350
00:30:31,775 --> 00:30:34,836
I would describe my approach
as existentialist.
351
00:30:35,046 --> 00:30:37,776
Would you care to elaborate
on that a little?
352
00:30:37,982 --> 00:30:42,851
Well, for example, today the actors
must all think apples
353
00:30:43,054 --> 00:30:46,182
be apples and ultimately
become apples.
354
00:30:46,391 --> 00:30:49,326
You see, one must remember
that there are millions of viewers
355
00:30:49,527 --> 00:30:52,690
sitting captive in their sitting rooms
who are yearning for...
356
00:30:53,398 --> 00:30:57,391
for the reality and tranquility and
the beauty of the countryside.
357
00:31:02,607 --> 00:31:03,972
Right, thank you, Dave.
358
00:31:07,947 --> 00:31:09,744
Head up, head up...
359
00:31:22,761 --> 00:31:23,659
Alvin!
360
00:31:23,863 --> 00:31:25,160
One more, Steve.
361
00:31:25,397 --> 00:31:28,560
- Can you get rid of them, please?
- All right, fellers. Fellers...
362
00:31:30,769 --> 00:31:31,827
Steve! Thank you.
363
00:31:36,675 --> 00:31:37,733
Alvin!
364
00:31:38,544 --> 00:31:39,442
Get rid of them!
365
00:31:39,578 --> 00:31:40,738
Fellers, ease up. That's it.
366
00:31:58,297 --> 00:32:00,197
All right everyone,
let's have some quiet please.
367
00:32:00,332 --> 00:32:05,464
We're going to have a few words
from our sponsor. Our sponsor!
368
00:32:09,175 --> 00:32:11,507
Thank you very much,
ladies and gentlemen.
369
00:32:11,711 --> 00:32:15,078
This morning I received a telegram
from our real sponsor
370
00:32:15,248 --> 00:32:18,149
the Ministry of Agriculture
and Fisheries
371
00:32:18,318 --> 00:32:22,379
and I'm sure that the unit and artists
would like me to read it
372
00:32:22,556 --> 00:32:24,353
before we start shooting.
373
00:32:25,559 --> 00:32:29,154
"Good luck today with
commercial number 17 stop
374
00:32:30,063 --> 00:32:35,899
"Minister delighted campaign
already bearing fruit. "
375
00:32:41,908 --> 00:32:43,603
Now stand by everyone and quiet.
376
00:32:43,743 --> 00:32:46,143
We're going to have a run-through
from the top with music.
377
00:32:46,313 --> 00:32:47,780
And remember everyone, please:
378
00:32:47,914 --> 00:32:51,281
for the next 90 seconds
we are all going to be apples.
379
00:32:51,718 --> 00:32:53,743
I reckon the director's
a bleedin' nut.
380
00:32:54,154 --> 00:32:56,019
Right. Standby, ducks.
381
00:32:56,256 --> 00:32:59,521
Stand by, swans.
Stand by, early morning mist.
382
00:32:59,960 --> 00:33:05,262
Stand by, Sylvia.
Camera! Mark it!
383
00:33:05,633 --> 00:33:08,033
National Apple Marketing Board.
Scene One. Take One.
384
00:33:08,169 --> 00:33:09,727
Running on a Guide Track.
385
00:33:10,404 --> 00:33:12,895
In this girl's ears
the clangour of war.
386
00:33:13,140 --> 00:33:15,700
About her the smoke
of her burning childhood.
387
00:33:15,910 --> 00:33:18,310
Her country has been raped,
ravaged and rapined.
388
00:33:18,512 --> 00:33:20,742
We see it in her eyes:
the ugliness of war.
389
00:33:20,948 --> 00:33:23,007
Man's inhumanity to man.
390
00:33:23,184 --> 00:33:25,812
But then a glade, a glade of peace...
391
00:33:26,020 --> 00:33:28,580
The tortured, hunted look
in her eyes becomes soft.
392
00:33:28,723 --> 00:33:31,089
Peace! Beauty! Freshness!
393
00:33:31,258 --> 00:33:33,283
The soft touch of morning dew!
394
00:33:33,461 --> 00:33:35,486
The gentle lull of blossom!
395
00:33:35,763 --> 00:33:37,321
But what is in her basket?
396
00:33:37,465 --> 00:33:39,626
And why does she stand
as though in expectancy?
397
00:33:39,767 --> 00:33:42,736
Are we eavesdropping on
a secret tryst in the midst of war?
398
00:33:42,870 --> 00:33:45,964
And then a twig snaps in the forest!
399
00:33:47,375 --> 00:33:52,677
To the minute! To the hour!
Steve has returned!
400
00:33:52,847 --> 00:33:57,181
He's been riding for 76 days.
22 horses have dropped from under him.
401
00:33:57,385 --> 00:33:58,784
His eyes are rimmed with fatigue.
402
00:33:59,086 --> 00:34:00,553
Caked with the dust of war.
403
00:34:00,688 --> 00:34:03,987
With his own hands he has wrenched
open the gates of Jerusalem!
404
00:34:04,125 --> 00:34:08,995
With his own hands he has crushed
an infidel army of 30,000!
405
00:34:09,197 --> 00:34:11,688
He has fought the mighty fight!
406
00:34:11,833 --> 00:34:13,425
He needs sustenance!
407
00:34:13,568 --> 00:34:16,401
He needs apples!
408
00:34:16,571 --> 00:34:18,505
Now we know what's in the basket.
409
00:34:18,674 --> 00:34:23,941
He wearily stumbles after her,
his whole body demanding one thing
410
00:34:24,212 --> 00:34:26,510
in his eyes a desperate desire.
411
00:34:26,648 --> 00:34:30,448
She leads him... she leads him
into the glade of apples.
412
00:34:30,585 --> 00:34:33,418
It is this that has given him
his inner strength!
413
00:34:33,989 --> 00:34:39,155
Now we know what enabled this man
to fight the mighty fight.
414
00:34:39,362 --> 00:34:41,489
We know what it is
that has succoured him
415
00:34:41,631 --> 00:34:43,496
what it is that has sustained him
416
00:34:43,633 --> 00:34:47,763
what it is that makes his eyes lose
the ferocity of war!
417
00:34:47,937 --> 00:34:49,632
It can only be one thing!
418
00:34:50,139 --> 00:34:54,269
Apples! Apples! Apples!
419
00:34:54,510 --> 00:34:58,276
Apples! Apples! Apples!
420
00:34:58,648 --> 00:35:03,017
Mr. Jackman, how did you manage to get
Steven Shorter for your commercial?
421
00:35:03,186 --> 00:35:06,121
I just had a few words
with his manager, Mr. Crossley.
422
00:35:06,790 --> 00:35:10,590
They must have been
very persuasive words, Mr. Jackman.
423
00:35:10,994 --> 00:35:12,291
�30,000.
424
00:35:22,673 --> 00:35:24,038
Steve...
425
00:35:25,609 --> 00:35:29,568
Andrew's been very worried
about you lately.
426
00:35:31,815 --> 00:35:38,186
He was saying to me that he thinks
you seem much too nervous.
427
00:35:42,126 --> 00:35:48,031
I think he's wondering if there's
anything that might be upsetting you.
428
00:35:51,168 --> 00:35:52,533
Is there?
429
00:36:00,010 --> 00:36:01,739
Is that why...?
430
00:36:04,715 --> 00:36:09,585
I suppose that's why
they've brought you in.
431
00:36:16,561 --> 00:36:17,858
So they can...
432
00:36:19,197 --> 00:36:20,562
keep tabs on me.
433
00:36:22,767 --> 00:36:24,428
Whose idea was that?
Crossley's, I suppose.
434
00:36:24,569 --> 00:36:26,594
- No, it wasn't.
- Bastard.
435
00:36:27,539 --> 00:36:31,441
If you and Martin don't like each other
why do you keep working together?
436
00:36:35,380 --> 00:36:37,211
Very simple answer to that...
437
00:36:39,450 --> 00:36:41,714
as far as he's concerned.
438
00:36:46,191 --> 00:36:48,489
He takes 15%.
439
00:36:53,798 --> 00:36:56,232
You'll probably find that's
why Andrew's...
440
00:36:57,936 --> 00:37:02,430
What is it? "Concerned" about me.
441
00:37:03,575 --> 00:37:05,065
Steve, what do mean?
442
00:37:05,977 --> 00:37:07,604
Well, you don't think...
443
00:37:09,915 --> 00:37:13,180
he's chairman of Shorter Enterprises
for nothing, do you?
444
00:37:17,089 --> 00:37:19,956
I wonder if you'd be kind enough
to ask Steven to come in.
445
00:37:20,125 --> 00:37:22,753
I think he ought to hear
what we're now going to discuss.
446
00:37:27,399 --> 00:37:29,367
Steve, would you come in please?
447
00:37:52,191 --> 00:37:53,590
Are you well, Steven?
448
00:37:54,159 --> 00:37:54,921
Yes, sir.
449
00:37:56,462 --> 00:37:57,121
Good.
450
00:37:59,331 --> 00:38:03,358
Miss Crawford, gentlemen, we come to
the central point of today's meeting.
451
00:38:04,970 --> 00:38:06,164
Professor Tatham.
452
00:38:06,305 --> 00:38:08,034
We live in difficult times.
453
00:38:08,642 --> 00:38:10,837
We face on every side
the danger of overthrow
454
00:38:10,977 --> 00:38:13,878
by the forces of communism
and anarchy.
455
00:38:14,748 --> 00:38:18,741
We must now for the sake of
national cohesion and survival
456
00:38:19,119 --> 00:38:21,485
lock together into a single mould.
457
00:38:22,989 --> 00:38:27,050
We must become one unit
to resist these forces.
458
00:38:28,128 --> 00:38:31,962
And, to ensure this move,
we must of necessity
459
00:38:32,432 --> 00:38:35,697
subdue the critical elements
in the country's youth.
460
00:38:37,871 --> 00:38:41,399
This is why we first made Steven Shorter
more violent than anyone else...
461
00:38:41,575 --> 00:38:44,772
because we knew this violence
would have a more direct appeal
462
00:38:44,946 --> 00:38:46,675
to the youth of the moment.
463
00:38:48,282 --> 00:38:51,718
Now we are going to use that appeal
by changing it.
464
00:38:53,387 --> 00:38:56,254
Gentlemen, in accordance
with our planned campaign
465
00:38:56,590 --> 00:38:59,923
and because we've reached
commercial saturation point.
466
00:39:00,995 --> 00:39:06,433
In 10 days' time we're going
to make Steven Shorter repent.
467
00:39:07,101 --> 00:39:10,868
We're going to make him say,
"I'm sorry for what I've done. "
468
00:39:11,039 --> 00:39:14,497
We're going to make him say,
"Now I want to go back into society. "
469
00:39:14,843 --> 00:39:16,538
"Now I will accept law and order. "
470
00:39:16,745 --> 00:39:19,543
"No longer will I criticize
or rock the boat. "
471
00:39:19,715 --> 00:39:22,115
We're going to make Steven Shorter
say these things
472
00:39:22,918 --> 00:39:25,352
because we want,
as we've always wanted
473
00:39:25,754 --> 00:39:27,915
the youth of Britain
to say them also.
474
00:39:29,658 --> 00:39:33,560
This is excellent, very exciting.
475
00:39:35,497 --> 00:39:38,795
Now for clothes and new designs,
Miss Crawford...
476
00:39:52,080 --> 00:39:53,877
August 14th...
477
00:39:54,416 --> 00:39:58,311
Item on the agenda:
The Youth of the Future.
478
00:40:15,905 --> 00:40:19,705
As you can see, gentlemen,
the accent in about 10 days' time
479
00:40:19,909 --> 00:40:21,672
will dramatically swing to...
480
00:40:22,245 --> 00:40:24,839
Thank you, Tony. Thank you, Daphne.
481
00:40:25,148 --> 00:40:30,845
to respectability, cleanliness,
social grace and, above all...
482
00:40:30,987 --> 00:40:33,455
a new-found innocence.
483
00:40:33,790 --> 00:40:36,850
The masculine will become softer
484
00:40:36,993 --> 00:40:39,120
the feminine line more feminine.
485
00:40:39,529 --> 00:40:43,465
And gone forever will be
the prison motif. Thank you, Tony.
486
00:40:44,767 --> 00:40:47,901
You will notice that Daphne
no longer wears the penal collar
487
00:40:48,037 --> 00:40:50,301
but has an open, soft look
488
00:40:50,740 --> 00:40:53,368
and that Tony no longer
has restrictive stitching
489
00:40:53,509 --> 00:40:56,307
which imprisoned the body
in the last two years.
490
00:40:56,646 --> 00:40:59,410
He is freer, much freer.
491
00:41:00,083 --> 00:41:03,018
Thank you, Tony. Thank you, Daphne.
492
00:41:04,253 --> 00:41:08,616
In other words, gentlemen,
they are released.
493
00:41:09,592 --> 00:41:11,220
Thank you, gentlemen.
494
00:41:12,663 --> 00:41:15,655
Excellent! Quite Excellent!
495
00:41:16,266 --> 00:41:18,757
As we've seen, gentlemen,
we are about to launch
496
00:41:18,902 --> 00:41:22,564
one of the most dramatic changes
of popular image ever seen.
497
00:41:22,806 --> 00:41:26,469
The only problem that remains is
will the public, en masse, accept it?
498
00:41:26,710 --> 00:41:29,008
We believe so
because of Steven's power.
499
00:41:29,413 --> 00:41:31,711
But to make sure my research team
and I suggest
500
00:41:31,849 --> 00:41:35,341
that when you present Steven
in his new image for the first time
501
00:41:35,519 --> 00:41:37,919
you do so in conjunction
with an Establishment event.
502
00:41:38,655 --> 00:41:43,120
We have compiled a short list
from many dozens of applications.
503
00:41:43,460 --> 00:41:45,018
The Central Office of Information
504
00:41:45,195 --> 00:41:47,356
the Board of Trade,
the Ministry of Defence
505
00:41:47,764 --> 00:41:49,322
the British Tourist Board...
506
00:41:49,466 --> 00:41:52,731
I've sounded out the Foreign Office
and unofficially they've informed me
507
00:41:52,903 --> 00:41:55,269
they'd be delighted to
sponsor Steven on a world tour.
508
00:41:56,039 --> 00:41:58,807
The Air Ministry,
the Inland Waterways Board
509
00:41:59,009 --> 00:42:01,136
and the Commonwealth Office.
510
00:42:02,279 --> 00:42:03,041
Gentlemen...
511
00:42:04,014 --> 00:42:06,005
haven't we forgotten someone?
512
00:42:08,118 --> 00:42:11,247
Haven't we forgotten the one person
who smiled upon us all?
513
00:42:15,760 --> 00:42:18,786
Onward! Onward!
514
00:42:19,297 --> 00:42:24,496
Onward, Christian soldiers
515
00:42:25,036 --> 00:42:27,937
Marching as to war
516
00:42:28,773 --> 00:42:32,106
With the cross of Jesus
517
00:42:32,410 --> 00:42:35,311
Going on before
518
00:42:38,216 --> 00:42:41,380
Onward Christian soldiers
519
00:42:41,720 --> 00:42:44,188
Marching as to war
520
00:42:45,658 --> 00:42:49,094
With the cross of Jesus
521
00:42:49,361 --> 00:42:52,363
Going on before
522
00:42:53,098 --> 00:42:56,295
Christ, the royal Master
523
00:42:56,702 --> 00:42:59,466
leads against the foe
524
00:43:00,606 --> 00:43:03,803
Onward into battle
525
00:43:04,310 --> 00:43:05,971
See His banners go!
526
00:43:08,047 --> 00:43:13,111
Onward, Christian soldiers
527
00:43:13,687 --> 00:43:16,588
Marching as to war
528
00:43:17,490 --> 00:43:20,755
With the cross of Jesus
529
00:43:21,061 --> 00:43:23,962
Going on before
530
00:43:40,046 --> 00:43:46,015
Like a mighty army
Moves the church of God
531
00:43:47,520 --> 00:43:50,353
Brother, we are treading
532
00:43:51,157 --> 00:43:53,751
Where the saints have trod
533
00:43:54,961 --> 00:43:57,930
We are not divided
534
00:43:58,665 --> 00:44:01,389
All one body we
535
00:44:02,502 --> 00:44:05,938
One in hope and doctrine
536
00:44:06,172 --> 00:44:09,039
One in charity
537
00:44:10,110 --> 00:44:15,105
Onward Christian soldiers
538
00:44:15,783 --> 00:44:18,785
Marching as to war
539
00:44:19,487 --> 00:44:22,923
With the cross of Jesus
540
00:44:23,357 --> 00:44:25,825
Going on before
541
00:44:26,894 --> 00:44:28,191
Onward!
542
00:44:28,796 --> 00:44:30,093
Onward!
543
00:44:50,051 --> 00:44:52,144
Was that happiness?
544
00:44:52,953 --> 00:44:54,648
Was that pure happiness?
545
00:44:54,922 --> 00:44:57,447
Music lovers... And I know
you are musical lovers...
546
00:44:57,758 --> 00:45:01,592
I'm sure that even He sitting in
His celestrial soundbooth
547
00:45:01,796 --> 00:45:05,288
would have heard that and said,
"Open thy mouth.
548
00:45:05,900 --> 00:45:08,765
"Judge righteously and plead the
cause of the poor and the needy. "
549
00:45:08,800 --> 00:45:11,631
"Judge righteously and plead the
cause of the poor and the needy".
550
00:45:12,140 --> 00:45:15,303
In other words, Reverend Holinesses,
is it a hit...
551
00:45:15,777 --> 00:45:17,142
or is it a miss?
552
00:45:17,546 --> 00:45:19,639
Oh, a hit.
Yes, most definitely a hit.
553
00:45:19,815 --> 00:45:23,717
Excellent! I think you've been
influenced by Count Basie but excellent!
554
00:45:24,019 --> 00:45:28,581
A trifle noisy but I think it will
serve our purpose excellently.
555
00:45:28,757 --> 00:45:31,089
Yes, yes. It certainly will.
556
00:45:32,361 --> 00:45:39,096
Gentlemen, aren't we in danger
of losing our spiritual bearings?
557
00:45:39,568 --> 00:45:43,197
We are in the process of launching
Christian Crusade Week
558
00:45:43,839 --> 00:45:46,506
and the Steven Shorter
Management Group
559
00:45:46,908 --> 00:45:50,241
have just agreed to lend us
the services of Shorter.
560
00:45:50,645 --> 00:45:54,081
The decline in church attendances
according to poll figures
561
00:45:54,216 --> 00:45:58,380
is such that by 1990 only the clergy
will be coming to church.
562
00:45:59,588 --> 00:46:01,783
This is, of course,
a slight exaggeration
563
00:46:01,923 --> 00:46:03,756
but we do feel the need of...
564
00:46:04,192 --> 00:46:07,684
something radical being done
about the situation.
565
00:46:09,331 --> 00:46:12,300
They seem to have more brains
than I gave them credit for.
566
00:46:14,370 --> 00:46:15,837
It's really quite simple.
567
00:46:16,005 --> 00:46:18,667
Steven Shorter has
the largest following
568
00:46:18,875 --> 00:46:21,275
in the history of
the entertainment business.
569
00:46:21,477 --> 00:46:25,243
We need a larger audience
so we are using Steve's
570
00:46:25,748 --> 00:46:27,477
and we hope that through him
571
00:46:27,650 --> 00:46:30,141
many of these followers
will return to the faith.
572
00:47:15,133 --> 00:47:16,964
Would you mind sitting down?
573
00:47:21,773 --> 00:47:22,705
Sorry.
574
00:47:24,375 --> 00:47:28,072
Is it only you on your radio?
Can we try another station?
575
00:47:40,024 --> 00:47:41,719
And another?
576
00:47:56,474 --> 00:47:58,772
Do you know that's the first time
I've seen you smile?
577
00:48:00,912 --> 00:48:05,008
Yeah, well, I am human...
578
00:48:10,355 --> 00:48:12,186
I was beginning to wonder.
579
00:48:14,126 --> 00:48:18,460
You're always so tense.
What do you do to relax?
580
00:48:20,266 --> 00:48:22,257
I listen to music.
581
00:48:23,168 --> 00:48:24,795
Always your own?
582
00:48:25,571 --> 00:48:26,595
Yeah.
583
00:48:29,308 --> 00:48:30,400
Do you do anything else?
584
00:48:32,811 --> 00:48:36,440
I mean if you weren't here now
what would you be doing?
585
00:48:39,518 --> 00:48:41,951
Well, I'd probably be asleep.
586
00:48:45,991 --> 00:48:47,982
At 3 o'clock in the afternoon?
587
00:48:49,361 --> 00:48:54,594
Yeah... I usually sleep
until about 5.
588
00:48:56,835 --> 00:48:59,502
Then I get up and
watch the television.
589
00:49:01,373 --> 00:49:05,275
Children's programmes are on then.
I like them.
590
00:49:05,477 --> 00:49:06,671
Are your parents alive?
591
00:49:07,212 --> 00:49:08,270
Yeah.
592
00:49:10,482 --> 00:49:13,451
Steve, have you ever been
really close to anyone?
593
00:49:16,256 --> 00:49:19,623
- Yeah, well, Alvin and Julie.
- Oh, come off it!
594
00:49:20,327 --> 00:49:22,818
We all know what they're in it for.
595
00:49:25,065 --> 00:49:27,932
Yeah, but I mean someone's got to...
596
00:49:29,402 --> 00:49:31,802
bring me my tea
in the mornings, haven't they?
597
00:49:31,972 --> 00:49:36,266
Well, I wouldn't like to see
those two standing by my bedside.
598
00:49:38,745 --> 00:49:42,146
I suppose you're right.
Especially Uncle Julie...
599
00:49:44,351 --> 00:49:49,186
Mr Jordan, what can you tell us
about Steven Shorter?
600
00:49:49,556 --> 00:49:52,622
What can I say?
It's like father and son.
601
00:49:53,059 --> 00:49:56,995
It's a family relationship like...
brother to brother.
602
00:49:57,430 --> 00:49:59,489
Well, it's the relationship
that counts.
603
00:49:59,733 --> 00:50:02,600
I mean he is unbelievably adaptable
to anything he does.
604
00:50:03,003 --> 00:50:08,069
It's when calls me Uncle Julie.
It's when he confides in me.
605
00:50:08,742 --> 00:50:11,870
It's like the other day,
when he said to me
606
00:50:12,012 --> 00:50:14,845
"Uncle Julie, if ever
I have a daughter
607
00:50:15,116 --> 00:50:18,085
"I'd like to see her grow up
like your wife, Gladys. "
608
00:50:18,386 --> 00:50:22,584
Believe me when I tell you
he never gives us any worries at all.
609
00:50:24,659 --> 00:50:27,452
So you've never really been
close to anyone?
610
00:50:29,463 --> 00:50:36,232
No... Well, there was this girl
once about a year ago.
611
00:50:39,373 --> 00:50:41,238
She was nice.
612
00:50:42,410 --> 00:50:44,969
But... we were on tour at the time
613
00:50:45,147 --> 00:50:49,243
and Alvin suggested
I stop seeing her.
614
00:50:50,952 --> 00:50:52,351
And you did?
615
00:50:53,255 --> 00:50:54,722
Well, yeah.
616
00:50:55,257 --> 00:50:57,191
I mean, you must understand...
617
00:50:57,359 --> 00:51:01,220
that he is in every sense of the word
a gilt-edged investment.
618
00:51:01,797 --> 00:51:06,700
He is the most important personality
in the entire history of show business
619
00:51:06,935 --> 00:51:10,530
and therefore has to be watched
very carefully indeed.
620
00:51:10,706 --> 00:51:15,302
And, as I tell him, God has
given him something
621
00:51:15,478 --> 00:51:17,969
He hasn't given to anyone
in the last 500 years.
622
00:51:18,314 --> 00:51:20,077
He does not belong to himself.
623
00:51:20,216 --> 00:51:26,712
He belongs to the world and therefore
he no longer has any right to himself.
624
00:51:27,657 --> 00:51:31,650
Yesterday he brought along
a framed picture of Alvin...
625
00:51:32,095 --> 00:51:33,858
that Alvin wanted to give me.
626
00:51:34,831 --> 00:51:38,458
I think Alvin has got a thing
about me, if you know what I mean.
627
00:51:40,002 --> 00:51:41,492
It had been signed something like...
628
00:51:42,171 --> 00:51:45,106
"With me it's not love but happiness. "
629
00:51:45,708 --> 00:51:48,108
I thought this was very funny
and I laughed.
630
00:51:49,746 --> 00:51:55,577
And then he laughed as well and...
well, it was nice.
631
00:51:56,719 --> 00:52:01,019
But then he sort of drew back
into himself and it was over.
632
00:52:02,058 --> 00:52:03,958
And that's how it normally is.
633
00:52:05,294 --> 00:52:07,660
It's very difficult to get near him...
634
00:52:08,765 --> 00:52:16,440
which is why, I suppose, the painting
is... well, so far... empty.
635
00:52:17,775 --> 00:52:19,504
You may not believe this but...
636
00:52:19,743 --> 00:52:22,940
a short while back we counted
every hair on his head.
637
00:52:23,147 --> 00:52:26,548
The reason being is that we're
marketing a Steven Shorter wig
638
00:52:26,750 --> 00:52:30,277
and we'd like to guarantee that
the placing of every hair is identical.
639
00:52:31,955 --> 00:52:36,756
Another point of interest is that
when we cut Steve's hair
640
00:52:37,027 --> 00:52:38,358
we do not sell this.
641
00:52:38,662 --> 00:52:40,027
I must make a point of this.
642
00:52:40,164 --> 00:52:43,725
We do not sell the cut hair.
We donate this to charity.
643
00:52:59,149 --> 00:53:03,279
On August 20th the combined churches
of Britain and
644
00:53:03,453 --> 00:53:05,444
Steven Shorter Enterprises Limited
645
00:53:05,689 --> 00:53:08,089
hold a press conference.
646
00:53:21,706 --> 00:53:24,436
All right, fellas, could we have
your attention, please?
647
00:53:25,543 --> 00:53:27,534
Could we have the proper
decorum please?
648
00:53:27,712 --> 00:53:29,737
Gentlemen of the press can we pull
on the cigars?
649
00:53:29,881 --> 00:53:32,543
Drink plenty of the champagne:
it's from the Vatican Vineyards.
650
00:53:36,254 --> 00:53:38,484
Ladies and gentlemen, you all know
about the great event
651
00:53:38,623 --> 00:53:41,592
that's about to take place next week
in the National Stadium.
652
00:53:41,759 --> 00:53:43,249
Freddie, would you come here
for a second please?
653
00:53:43,394 --> 00:53:45,294
Now this is the poster
that will be displayed
654
00:53:45,430 --> 00:53:47,261
in prominent places
throughout the country.
655
00:53:48,433 --> 00:53:50,560
Do you notice something a little
different about Steve's position?
656
00:53:50,702 --> 00:53:51,134
You do.
657
00:53:51,269 --> 00:53:52,429
Right. Well, we'll talk about that
658
00:53:52,570 --> 00:53:54,094
and we'll tell you more about that
a little later on.
659
00:53:54,239 --> 00:53:57,135
By the way, at the bottom sits
a picture of the Reverend Jeremy Tate
660
00:53:57,275 --> 00:53:59,470
who'll be introduced to you
a little later on as well.
661
00:53:59,611 --> 00:54:04,241
You'll notice that the price of the
tickets range from 10 shillings to �25
662
00:54:04,415 --> 00:54:06,713
for those of us who are
a little more fortunate.
663
00:54:08,152 --> 00:54:10,746
At this time, ladies and gentlemen,
I would like to introduce
664
00:54:10,922 --> 00:54:14,356
your friend, my friend
and certainly God's friend...
665
00:54:15,326 --> 00:54:20,287
a honey of a chap and a million laughs,
let's welcome the Bishop of Essex.
666
00:54:25,137 --> 00:54:30,439
I feel sure after such an introduction
that Heaven must be round the corner.
667
00:54:33,979 --> 00:54:38,712
Ladies and gentlemen, it is
my pleasant duty to introduce
668
00:54:38,884 --> 00:54:41,648
the brightest star
in our clerical firmanent
669
00:54:41,820 --> 00:54:44,414
who will join with Steven Shorter
670
00:54:44,690 --> 00:54:46,749
in our great drive for God.
671
00:54:47,460 --> 00:54:48,154
I give you...
672
00:54:48,595 --> 00:54:51,257
the Reverend Jeremy Tate!
673
00:54:57,237 --> 00:55:00,172
Is there anything you'd like to tell
us about the Reverend Jeremy Tate?
674
00:55:00,307 --> 00:55:03,572
Yes, he's 35, lives alone and
loves a good day of fishing.
675
00:55:04,511 --> 00:55:06,411
In holy waters naturally!
676
00:55:09,482 --> 00:55:13,043
But hasn't the Reverend Jeremy Tate
got any views himself?
677
00:55:13,320 --> 00:55:15,811
The Church's views and those
of the Reverend Jeremy Tate
678
00:55:15,956 --> 00:55:19,256
will be found in the
official pamphlet pages 3 and 4.
679
00:55:19,393 --> 00:55:21,691
My Lord, isn't the Church
using Mr Shorter
680
00:55:21,829 --> 00:55:23,820
for the purpose of gaining converts?
681
00:55:24,598 --> 00:55:29,228
At one time the Church used the methods
of the Inquisition to gain converts.
682
00:55:29,437 --> 00:55:33,965
We find Mr Shorter a little
less painful. Don't we, Jeremy?
683
00:55:34,542 --> 00:55:36,737
I thought I was the only one
with the answers.
684
00:55:37,144 --> 00:55:39,510
Steve, would you like to come up here
for a moment, please?
685
00:55:46,887 --> 00:55:49,515
Now, ladies and gentlemen,
as you can see
686
00:55:49,890 --> 00:55:54,418
this is the first time you have ever seen
Steven Shorter wearing the colour red.
687
00:55:54,562 --> 00:55:55,995
Now let me make this clear.
688
00:55:56,130 --> 00:56:00,533
Red is the colour that is associated
with the release of Steven Shorter
689
00:56:00,768 --> 00:56:03,737
which will be seen by the public
next week at the National Stadium.
690
00:56:04,472 --> 00:56:06,599
But naturally, for you fine
gentlemen of the press
691
00:56:06,741 --> 00:56:10,677
we are now holding a sort of
pre-release of this release...
692
00:56:10,811 --> 00:56:13,644
sort of giving him
a slight temporary freedom.
693
00:56:13,881 --> 00:56:17,510
Now here we have the keys
to Steven's freedom.
694
00:56:17,918 --> 00:56:19,181
Steve...
695
00:56:20,555 --> 00:56:21,783
There's one...
696
00:56:23,658 --> 00:56:26,149
There we go... There's two.
Steve, would you hold the hands up?
697
00:56:26,294 --> 00:56:28,421
Ladies and gentlemen,
Steven Shorter is released.
698
00:56:32,801 --> 00:56:36,396
What would you say if I...
699
00:56:39,608 --> 00:56:42,008
if I said I wanted to...
700
00:56:43,879 --> 00:56:48,179
I wanted to... stop all this?
701
00:56:50,052 --> 00:56:54,512
Well I'd say it was unfortunate.
More for us than for you.
702
00:56:56,191 --> 00:57:03,859
You see, I believe you play a very
important part in society, Steven.
703
00:57:07,869 --> 00:57:09,803
How can I explain it to you?
704
00:57:12,574 --> 00:57:14,098
I...
705
00:57:17,379 --> 00:57:18,346
Come with me.
706
00:57:28,024 --> 00:57:30,720
There are millions of people
down there.
707
00:57:31,694 --> 00:57:34,254
Millions of little people.
708
00:57:37,200 --> 00:57:40,966
First we must be quite clear
in our minds about one thing:
709
00:57:42,004 --> 00:57:45,337
that the liberal idea that,
given enough education
710
00:57:45,608 --> 00:57:49,510
these millions will grow into
self-aware creative human beings
711
00:57:50,713 --> 00:57:53,546
is nothing but an exploded myth.
712
00:57:54,617 --> 00:57:56,642
It can never happen.
713
00:57:58,321 --> 00:58:00,585
They're stunted little creatures
714
00:58:01,224 --> 00:58:04,682
with primitive emotions that are,
in themselves, dangerous.
715
00:58:05,595 --> 00:58:08,689
They've got to be harnessed, guided.
716
00:58:10,233 --> 00:58:14,260
We've seen it happen over and
over again for an evil purpose.
717
00:58:14,537 --> 00:58:17,005
Germany, Russia, China...
718
00:58:20,043 --> 00:58:24,241
But now we've got a chance
to make it work for their own good.
719
00:58:26,116 --> 00:58:31,053
You... You're our chance, Steven.
720
00:58:32,422 --> 00:58:35,550
They identify with you.
They love you.
721
00:58:37,661 --> 00:58:43,964
Steven, you can lead them
into a better way of life...
722
00:58:45,102 --> 00:58:47,536
a fruitful conformity.
723
00:59:16,634 --> 00:59:20,731
Steven, may I say how delighted
we all are to have you with us today?
724
00:59:24,810 --> 00:59:27,074
And I'm sure everybody
will join me in...
725
00:59:27,246 --> 00:59:31,580
wishing you every success
for tomorrow night.
726
00:59:42,394 --> 00:59:47,559
I think I'd... prefer
hot chocolate instead.
727
00:59:53,305 --> 00:59:55,432
You'd prefer what, Steven?
728
00:59:56,008 --> 00:59:58,602
I'd like some hot chocolate instead.
729
01:00:00,045 --> 01:00:02,411
You'd like some too, wouldn't you?
730
01:00:07,253 --> 01:00:08,914
Well...
731
01:00:11,023 --> 01:00:11,990
OK, yes.
732
01:00:14,960 --> 01:00:16,587
You'll join us, Andrew?
733
01:00:18,764 --> 01:00:20,061
Yes, why not?
734
01:00:22,636 --> 01:00:27,198
- And everybody else too?
- Yes, everybody else too.
735
01:00:28,174 --> 01:00:30,301
Hot chocolate for everyone
please, William.
736
01:00:30,477 --> 01:00:32,172
- Hot chocolate, sir?
- Yes, hot chocolate.
737
01:00:32,746 --> 01:00:33,474
I prefer the wine...
738
01:00:33,647 --> 01:00:34,545
if you don't mind.
739
01:00:34,681 --> 01:00:36,308
Oh, Martin, come.
740
01:00:36,583 --> 01:00:40,417
You haven't tasted my chocolate.
It has the most exquisite bouquet.
741
01:00:44,257 --> 01:00:45,554
Thank you, William.
742
01:00:49,062 --> 01:00:52,395
Martin, can't you see that
what Steven did was a protest?
743
01:00:53,867 --> 01:00:56,597
Don't be absurd, Andrew. He had
nothing whatever to protest about.
744
01:00:56,736 --> 01:00:58,363
He was just being extremely tiresome.
745
01:00:58,505 --> 01:00:59,870
It isn't as simple as that.
746
01:01:00,006 --> 01:01:02,770
I'm getting sick and tired of people
telling me how to do my own job.
747
01:01:02,909 --> 01:01:06,208
You won't have a job to do unless you
stop treating him like a machine.
748
01:01:06,713 --> 01:01:07,680
Now look, let's get one thing...
749
01:01:07,814 --> 01:01:10,044
He's a sensitive boy
and not unintelligent.
750
01:01:10,150 --> 01:01:14,382
In 2� years I have brought
that boy up from nothing to what he is.
751
01:01:15,588 --> 01:01:17,920
And during practically every
single day of that 2� years
752
01:01:18,058 --> 01:01:20,549
I have watched and moulded Steven.
753
01:01:21,462 --> 01:01:23,191
And I think I'm going to know better
than anybody else
754
01:01:23,331 --> 01:01:27,165
if that boy is psychologically disturbed
or just being plain bloody-minded.
755
01:01:27,335 --> 01:01:29,394
Today he was just being
plain bloody-minded.
756
01:01:29,537 --> 01:01:32,301
What he did today he did
out of desperation.
757
01:01:33,107 --> 01:01:35,075
- Desperation!
- Yes, desperation.
758
01:01:35,376 --> 01:01:38,470
Why don't any of them do anything?
Why don't they stop me?
759
01:01:38,646 --> 01:01:41,240
Any of them! Just one!
Butler or somebody!
760
01:01:41,415 --> 01:01:43,781
They just take it, don't they?
They just drink the stuff!
761
01:01:43,918 --> 01:01:45,317
Why doesn't Butler stop me?
762
01:01:45,453 --> 01:01:48,354
He probably thinks you had a reason.
I thought you had a reason.
763
01:01:48,489 --> 01:01:50,616
Oh God! Reason!
I don't need a reason!
764
01:01:50,758 --> 01:01:53,955
None of them's got the guts to say
"Get stuffed, Steve" once and for all!
765
01:01:54,095 --> 01:01:57,030
They don't need a reason.
They just take it and love it.
766
01:01:57,164 --> 01:02:00,565
We'll drink your marvellous hot chocolate
with our lobster and love it!
767
01:02:00,701 --> 01:02:01,827
Marvellous!
768
01:02:02,169 --> 01:02:05,764
- None of them says no.
- Some of them didn't want to do it.
769
01:02:06,006 --> 01:02:07,769
All right so some of them
didn't want to do it.
770
01:02:07,908 --> 01:02:10,741
But every single one of them did it.
Not one refused.
771
01:02:10,911 --> 01:02:12,674
You didn't even stand up
and refuse to do it.
772
01:02:12,913 --> 01:02:14,904
You're just the same as everyone!
773
01:02:17,251 --> 01:02:19,549
What about you?
You never say no, do you?
774
01:02:19,720 --> 01:02:23,213
I've never heard you say no to anyone.
Not Alvin, Butler, Crossley, anyone.
775
01:02:23,358 --> 01:02:25,519
I know nobody ever says no any more.
I know that!
776
01:02:25,660 --> 01:02:27,924
But who do you think made this happen?
Who's responsible?
777
01:02:28,063 --> 01:02:29,394
What made it happen? You did!
778
01:02:29,531 --> 01:02:31,624
How am I responsible?
What's so special about me?
779
01:02:31,767 --> 01:02:34,793
Steve, people admire you.
I admire you. Butler admires you.
780
01:02:34,936 --> 01:02:38,372
They look up to you. You represent
something very important to them.
781
01:02:38,573 --> 01:02:41,770
What do you mean represent?
Tell me, what do I represent?
782
01:02:54,891 --> 01:03:00,227
September 10th.
The National Stadium in London.
783
01:03:54,384 --> 01:03:55,544
I can't reach it.
784
01:03:57,421 --> 01:03:58,979
I can't reach it.
785
01:04:01,024 --> 01:04:02,958
There. Now can you reach it?
786
01:04:12,402 --> 01:04:16,429
May the love of God be always
with you. Amen.
787
01:04:27,118 --> 01:04:31,418
What you are now watching is
the largest staging of nationalism
788
01:04:31,656 --> 01:04:33,681
in the history of Great Britain.
789
01:04:40,832 --> 01:04:46,031
Now is the beginning of
Christian Crusade Week
790
01:04:47,272 --> 01:04:50,571
and praise be to God!
791
01:05:05,423 --> 01:05:08,153
Led by a section of the
Durham Queen's Scouts
792
01:05:08,860 --> 01:05:12,227
detachments of Christian bodies
from all over the country
793
01:05:12,363 --> 01:05:15,992
pulse with ear-tingling music
and breathless precision
794
01:05:16,200 --> 01:05:20,364
into an unequalled expression
of national solidarity.
795
01:06:31,711 --> 01:06:36,171
We calculate that the gate money
from each of these performances
796
01:06:36,483 --> 01:06:40,783
will gross on average
approximately �135,000.
797
01:07:27,202 --> 01:07:29,432
The coalition government of Britain
798
01:07:29,738 --> 01:07:32,798
formed because of the complete lack
of difference between the policies
799
01:07:32,941 --> 01:07:34,738
of the Conservative and Labour parties
800
01:07:35,610 --> 01:07:38,545
has given both its blessing
and a state subsidy
801
01:07:38,680 --> 01:07:41,274
to the mounting of
Christian Crusade Week
802
01:07:41,450 --> 01:07:44,476
because, as the
official pamphlet states
803
01:07:44,720 --> 01:07:48,554
"we need no longer have any
disturbing political differences
804
01:07:48,690 --> 01:07:54,060
"When we are all of one faith and
believe in one God and one flag. "
805
01:08:49,619 --> 01:08:56,752
This black card will be issued to you
as you leave the Stadium tonight.
806
01:08:57,794 --> 01:09:01,355
On it there are three words.
807
01:09:01,931 --> 01:09:06,061
They are simple words
but they are vital words.
808
01:09:07,136 --> 01:09:12,665
They are words which we must now,
all of us, begin using
809
01:09:13,342 --> 01:09:17,403
because, since the end of the War,
we in Britain
810
01:09:17,613 --> 01:09:23,643
have become apathetic, slack,
loose in our morality.
811
01:09:23,986 --> 01:09:30,085
National cohesion has become
unimportant to us!
812
01:09:31,762 --> 01:09:36,096
We must fight this. We must.
813
01:09:36,500 --> 01:09:42,632
Now, all of us begin to use
the words on the card!
814
01:09:43,073 --> 01:09:46,008
"We will conform. "
815
01:09:46,176 --> 01:09:49,873
Those are the words.
We will conform.
816
01:09:50,113 --> 01:09:52,411
And when I say the word conform
817
01:09:53,050 --> 01:09:57,919
I want all of you to shout
in one clear voice in reply
818
01:09:58,555 --> 01:10:01,752
We will conform!
819
01:10:02,426 --> 01:10:04,951
Now, conform!
820
01:10:05,262 --> 01:10:06,388
We will...
821
01:10:06,597 --> 01:10:07,495
conform!
822
01:10:07,631 --> 01:10:16,005
Above all we must follow the example
of a young man who found repentance...
823
01:10:16,473 --> 01:10:17,997
who found faith...
824
01:10:18,308 --> 01:10:19,900
who found God...
825
01:10:20,177 --> 01:10:21,940
who found all of these things...
826
01:10:22,446 --> 01:10:25,415
who found the Word.
827
01:10:25,883 --> 01:10:30,321
And now he is here with you tonight.
828
01:10:33,858 --> 01:10:36,725
To our shining example.
829
01:10:38,396 --> 01:10:39,863
To the light.
830
01:10:40,798 --> 01:10:42,425
To the path.
831
01:10:43,034 --> 01:10:44,467
To a way.
832
01:12:25,271 --> 01:12:34,010
And did those feet in ancient times
833
01:12:36,283 --> 01:12:43,189
Walk upon England's mountains green
834
01:12:44,258 --> 01:12:53,257
And was the holy lamb of God
835
01:12:55,369 --> 01:13:03,333
On England's pleasant pastures seen
836
01:13:03,677 --> 01:13:12,608
And did the countenance divine
837
01:13:13,220 --> 01:13:22,424
Shine forth upon our clouded hills
838
01:13:22,997 --> 01:13:32,373
And was Jerusalem builded here
839
01:13:34,142 --> 01:13:42,641
Among those dark Satanic mills
840
01:13:47,189 --> 01:13:57,087
Bring me my bow of burning gold
841
01:13:58,467 --> 01:14:06,067
Bring me my arrows of desire
842
01:14:06,374 --> 01:14:15,749
Bring me my spears o'clouds unfold
843
01:14:15,984 --> 01:14:25,325
Bring me my chariot of fire
844
01:14:25,660 --> 01:14:34,365
I will not cease from mental fight
845
01:14:35,071 --> 01:14:43,069
Nor shall my sword sleep in my hand
846
01:14:43,312 --> 01:14:50,844
'Til we have built Jerusalem
847
01:14:52,021 --> 01:15:00,896
In England's green and pleasant land
848
01:16:12,737 --> 01:16:15,831
Now it has been suggested that
Steve's song
849
01:16:15,974 --> 01:16:18,067
which was specially written
for this occasion
850
01:16:18,209 --> 01:16:21,178
may have certain auto-suggestive
qualities to it
851
01:16:21,379 --> 01:16:24,837
from which the sick may derive
some internal benefit.
852
01:16:25,283 --> 01:16:29,185
Therefore those less fortunate than us
will be brought before Steve
853
01:16:29,321 --> 01:16:33,485
in invalid chairs which we shall
be providing, if I may say...
854
01:16:33,726 --> 01:16:35,125
free of charge.
855
01:17:15,801 --> 01:17:20,135
I see it all before me
856
01:17:20,439 --> 01:17:24,569
My past of restless wander
857
01:17:25,110 --> 01:17:29,240
An evil heart within me
858
01:17:29,848 --> 01:17:34,081
An evil head to hold
859
01:17:34,754 --> 01:17:38,713
But in my hour of darkness
860
01:17:39,059 --> 01:17:43,257
A sun began to shine
861
01:17:43,630 --> 01:17:48,033
A sweeping spirit moved me
862
01:17:48,501 --> 01:17:52,301
A shining light was mine
863
01:17:53,239 --> 01:17:56,208
I see a pasture
864
01:17:57,510 --> 01:18:01,742
All green and gold
865
01:18:01,981 --> 01:18:06,179
A shepherd walking
866
01:18:06,486 --> 01:18:11,116
So brave and bold
867
01:18:11,391 --> 01:18:15,555
A congregation
868
01:18:15,862 --> 01:18:20,265
All on their knees
869
01:18:20,500 --> 01:18:24,436
His arms outstretching
870
01:18:24,838 --> 01:18:28,296
To you and me
871
01:18:28,675 --> 01:18:32,203
You and me
872
01:18:48,429 --> 01:18:52,695
We need His hand to guide us
873
01:18:52,967 --> 01:18:57,131
Along this chosen road
874
01:18:57,605 --> 01:19:01,906
We need His love to save us
875
01:19:02,244 --> 01:19:06,203
And bear our heavy load
876
01:19:06,882 --> 01:19:10,841
His pain was not for nothing
877
01:19:11,553 --> 01:19:15,546
His tears were not in vain
878
01:19:15,891 --> 01:19:20,351
What can a man believe in
879
01:19:20,762 --> 01:19:24,960
If not in Jesus name
880
01:19:25,600 --> 01:19:28,569
I see a chapel
881
01:19:29,704 --> 01:19:33,471
High in the sky
882
01:19:34,343 --> 01:19:38,211
Someone is waiting
883
01:19:38,781 --> 01:19:42,774
A tear in His eye
884
01:19:43,386 --> 01:19:47,117
I see Him calling
885
01:19:47,890 --> 01:19:51,257
I see Him smile
886
01:19:52,462 --> 01:19:56,159
And in His arms
887
01:19:57,099 --> 01:20:00,660
A little child
888
01:20:01,537 --> 01:20:05,564
His door is open
889
01:20:05,942 --> 01:20:09,969
To everyone
890
01:20:10,446 --> 01:20:14,542
I kneel before Him
891
01:20:14,817 --> 01:20:18,810
My time has come
892
01:20:19,388 --> 01:20:22,949
O Father, Father
893
01:20:23,659 --> 01:20:27,686
Your children call
894
01:20:28,097 --> 01:20:31,533
Defend our mothers
895
01:20:31,869 --> 01:20:35,305
Forgive us all
896
01:20:35,873 --> 01:20:40,606
Forgive us all
897
01:21:27,758 --> 01:21:30,659
In one evening in the National Stadium
898
01:21:31,395 --> 01:21:38,393
49,000 people gave themselves
to God and Flag through Steven Shorter
899
01:22:23,748 --> 01:22:27,275
- Conform!
- We conform!
900
01:22:27,452 --> 01:22:35,883
Above all we must follow the example
of a young man who found repentance...
901
01:22:36,328 --> 01:22:37,989
who found faith...
902
01:22:38,230 --> 01:22:39,720
who found God...
903
01:22:39,898 --> 01:22:41,525
who found all of these things...
904
01:22:42,234 --> 01:22:45,067
who found the Word.
905
01:22:45,604 --> 01:22:50,667
And now he is here with you tonight.
906
01:22:53,545 --> 01:22:56,810
To our shining example.
907
01:22:58,183 --> 01:22:59,878
To the light.
908
01:23:00,586 --> 01:23:02,451
To the path.
909
01:23:02,888 --> 01:23:04,447
To a way.
910
01:23:29,582 --> 01:23:30,844
What does he think I am?
911
01:23:47,334 --> 01:23:52,772
Steve, you could stop all this now.
912
01:23:55,543 --> 01:23:57,170
And I want you to.
913
01:24:00,948 --> 01:24:02,313
Why?
914
01:24:04,118 --> 01:24:07,519
I'm not asking you
to feel anything for me.
915
01:24:07,822 --> 01:24:10,017
It's not that at all. It's just...
916
01:24:11,559 --> 01:24:14,551
I think you must go away somewhere.
917
01:24:16,731 --> 01:24:19,063
You really need to. Honestly.
918
01:24:22,436 --> 01:24:25,132
My parents have got this place
in the country and...
919
01:24:25,272 --> 01:24:26,705
they're away at the moment.
920
01:24:29,343 --> 01:24:31,311
I think we should go there.
921
01:24:34,649 --> 01:24:35,980
What did you say?
922
01:24:39,121 --> 01:24:40,645
What did you say?
923
01:24:42,157 --> 01:24:44,682
I said I think we should go away.
924
01:24:53,101 --> 01:24:54,363
Oh, yeah?
925
01:24:59,141 --> 01:25:00,802
Like everybody...
926
01:25:03,512 --> 01:25:07,676
You want something.
It's obvious what you want, isn't it?
927
01:25:53,196 --> 01:25:54,356
What is it?
928
01:25:55,464 --> 01:25:57,056
Steve, let me see.
929
01:26:03,606 --> 01:26:06,632
Steve... Take your shirt off.
930
01:26:08,110 --> 01:26:09,407
Come on.
931
01:26:25,795 --> 01:26:28,355
How long have you been like this?
932
01:26:33,236 --> 01:26:36,638
I thought your act was
only pretending.
933
01:26:40,911 --> 01:26:45,848
Steve, you've got to stop this.
You must stop it now.
934
01:27:16,147 --> 01:27:19,981
Steve... What is it you want?
935
01:27:24,389 --> 01:27:26,357
What do you want?
936
01:27:32,397 --> 01:27:36,425
I then found out he was
seeing this girl secretly.
937
01:27:37,036 --> 01:27:40,369
And I say secretly.
Otherwise I would have known.
938
01:27:44,109 --> 01:27:46,475
Yeah, I was about to break it up
939
01:27:47,246 --> 01:27:49,339
but I said to myself wait...
940
01:27:50,149 --> 01:27:56,088
Isn't he entitled to something?
I mean, he gives of himself so much.
941
01:27:56,322 --> 01:28:00,656
Isn't he entitled to his own
small corner of the world?
942
01:28:01,727 --> 01:28:06,391
But I guess in this deal
there just are no small corners.
943
01:28:19,545 --> 01:28:21,604
What would you say if...
944
01:28:26,185 --> 01:28:28,244
if I asked you to marry me?
945
01:28:37,130 --> 01:28:39,064
Steve, it wouldn't work.
946
01:28:46,539 --> 01:28:50,373
I'm very selfish probably
when I say this but...
947
01:28:51,044 --> 01:28:54,036
it could only be on my terms.
948
01:28:56,816 --> 01:28:58,147
Come here.
949
01:28:59,386 --> 01:29:02,651
I'm a very private person.
950
01:29:04,090 --> 01:29:05,990
I'm very possessive.
951
01:29:08,962 --> 01:29:13,922
We'd never be alone together.
Not really alone.
952
01:29:26,746 --> 01:29:28,373
September 25th.
953
01:29:29,249 --> 01:29:32,582
The Federated Records Award
Giving Dinner in London.
954
01:29:32,752 --> 01:29:37,588
Miss Ritchie, is there anything
you'd like to say
955
01:29:37,725 --> 01:29:41,491
concerning Steve's recent
Stadium appearance?
956
01:29:42,129 --> 01:29:44,222
No, I've got nothing to say.
957
01:29:45,366 --> 01:29:47,334
- Nothing at all?
- No.
958
01:29:49,403 --> 01:29:51,963
Well, what do you think about
tonight's Award?
959
01:29:55,309 --> 01:29:58,938
I think it's very... remarkable.
960
01:30:01,282 --> 01:30:04,774
Ladies and gentlemen,
may I have your attention, please?
961
01:30:07,154 --> 01:30:08,451
Thank you.
962
01:30:08,889 --> 01:30:13,553
Now this is the moment you all
have been waiting for.
963
01:30:14,261 --> 01:30:16,957
What else can I say but...
964
01:30:17,198 --> 01:30:19,291
Steven Shorter!
965
01:30:59,508 --> 01:31:03,171
Now a little-known fact
concerning the gentlemen
966
01:31:03,311 --> 01:31:05,575
about to make
the presentation this evening
967
01:31:06,481 --> 01:31:10,612
is that before becoming
a director of Federated Records
968
01:31:11,687 --> 01:31:13,985
Leo Stanley was a songwriter.
969
01:31:15,258 --> 01:31:17,852
Now I don't want to say
that his songs were bad
970
01:31:17,994 --> 01:31:21,157
but we had to re-write them
before he could throw them away.
971
01:31:23,166 --> 01:31:25,396
So, at this time, won't you
join me in welcoming
972
01:31:25,801 --> 01:31:29,237
the Darling of the Wax world,
Leo Stanley!
973
01:31:40,684 --> 01:31:43,517
My lords, ladies and gentlemen...
974
01:31:44,221 --> 01:31:46,382
and Steven Shorter.
975
01:31:47,124 --> 01:31:54,997
I think I speak for you all when I say,
"Steve, we're all your fans. "
976
01:32:03,473 --> 01:32:08,604
What we have here is
but a small token
977
01:32:08,812 --> 01:32:12,748
of our respect, admiration
and gratitude.
978
01:32:13,750 --> 01:32:16,310
In the last 3 years
you've given great pleasure
979
01:32:16,587 --> 01:32:18,987
to an overwhelming number of people.
980
01:32:19,623 --> 01:32:25,357
And, really, what more can I say
but thank you, Steven Shorter.
981
01:32:26,263 --> 01:32:28,629
You are more than an artist.
982
01:32:39,143 --> 01:32:42,203
"From from the staff and executives
of Federated Records
983
01:32:42,380 --> 01:32:47,113
"and its overseas subsidiaries in
Germany, France, Japan, United States
984
01:32:47,785 --> 01:32:50,879
"to our platinum boy. "
985
01:34:23,682 --> 01:34:28,415
You worship me as if I were...
986
01:34:33,692 --> 01:34:36,490
as if I were a sort of god.
987
01:34:43,837 --> 01:34:46,829
I'm someone. I'm a person.
988
01:34:47,807 --> 01:34:50,901
I'm a person! I'm a person!
I'm a person!
989
01:34:51,177 --> 01:34:55,011
When asked the reason
for his overwhelming popularity
990
01:34:55,482 --> 01:35:00,613
93.5% of the population of the
British Isles said that they loved
991
01:35:01,054 --> 01:35:04,387
Steven Shorter because he
so generously and willingly
992
01:35:04,524 --> 01:35:06,992
shared himself with everyone.
993
01:35:07,193 --> 01:35:12,325
I am nothing. This is me.
994
01:35:13,968 --> 01:35:15,401
Nothing.
995
01:35:19,740 --> 01:35:21,833
And this is you...
996
01:35:23,811 --> 01:35:26,507
because you've made me nothing.
997
01:35:32,586 --> 01:35:38,183
I hate you! I hate you!
I hate you!
998
01:35:42,964 --> 01:35:46,297
Forgive us all!
999
01:37:07,683 --> 01:37:09,981
All that Steven Shorter has just done
1000
01:37:10,453 --> 01:37:13,786
has been to express the wish
to become an individual.
1001
01:37:14,257 --> 01:37:19,957
But that, in an age of conformity,
can become a social problem.
1002
01:37:51,428 --> 01:37:53,953
Alvin, out please! Thank you.
Out, Alvin!
1003
01:37:55,198 --> 01:37:58,065
Hell of a row in the office.
I've just had Butler on the telephone.
1004
01:37:58,268 --> 01:37:59,929
We'll make a statement tomorrow.
1005
01:38:00,837 --> 01:38:02,600
Tell me what you're going to do.
You were the clever little boy.
1006
01:38:02,739 --> 01:38:04,764
Half an hour earlier you were making
all the smart remarks. Come on!
1007
01:38:04,908 --> 01:38:06,136
- Tell me what you're going to do.
- Leave him alone, will you?
1008
01:38:06,276 --> 01:38:07,174
Why did he do it?
1009
01:38:07,311 --> 01:38:08,642
What do you think you are?
A bloody preacher?
1010
01:38:08,779 --> 01:38:10,212
Have you had a call?
Have you had a vision?
1011
01:38:10,347 --> 01:38:12,440
Why don't you leave him alone?
You've done enough damage already!
1012
01:38:12,583 --> 01:38:14,312
Don't talk to me about damage!
1013
01:38:14,451 --> 01:38:16,180
You've done more damage
than is possible to estimate.
1014
01:38:16,320 --> 01:38:19,653
You put more moronic thoughts into
this boy's mind... It's incredible!
1015
01:38:19,923 --> 01:38:21,515
It's impossible to estimate
how great the damage is.
1016
01:38:21,658 --> 01:38:22,716
You're pleased, are you?
You're pleased?
1017
01:38:22,859 --> 01:38:24,952
Yes, I thought you would be.
You've done such a good job.
1018
01:38:25,095 --> 01:38:26,062
Marvellous!
1019
01:38:27,998 --> 01:38:30,865
Alvin, I've told you!
Get those men out of this room!
1020
01:38:31,001 --> 01:38:32,935
Alvin! Get them out!
1021
01:38:37,074 --> 01:38:40,168
It's now about 11.30 am
1022
01:38:40,377 --> 01:38:43,870
and we are outside Steven Shorter
Television Station no. 3
1023
01:38:44,048 --> 01:38:46,141
situated in a suburb near London.
1024
01:38:46,618 --> 01:38:48,745
Late yesterday night a statement
was issued
1025
01:38:48,886 --> 01:38:51,252
by the Steven Shorter
Management Group
1026
01:38:51,422 --> 01:38:53,856
to the effect that Steven Shorter
would make
1027
01:38:53,992 --> 01:38:56,187
a special television appearance today
1028
01:38:56,394 --> 01:39:00,455
to explain the statement he made
during yesterday's banquet.
1029
01:39:00,632 --> 01:39:02,759
The crowd are very angry
here today because...
1030
01:39:03,334 --> 01:39:04,995
Please keep your distance.
1031
01:39:16,315 --> 01:39:20,183
On September 26th
with public endorsement...
1032
01:39:20,853 --> 01:39:25,552
Steven Shorter is barred from this and
any further appearance on television
1033
01:39:25,958 --> 01:39:30,486
just to ensure that he does not again
misuse his position of privilege
1034
01:39:30,896 --> 01:39:34,491
to disturb the public peace of mind.
1035
01:39:49,783 --> 01:39:52,377
The public knows what it feels.
1036
01:39:52,786 --> 01:39:55,118
Its love for Steven
has turned to hate.
1037
01:39:56,756 --> 01:39:58,280
That we must accept...
1038
01:39:58,925 --> 01:40:00,620
like an act of God.
1039
01:40:01,361 --> 01:40:05,422
What about your business interests
in Steven Shorter?
1040
01:40:06,266 --> 01:40:09,531
I'll sever my connections with
Steven Shorter Enterprises.
1041
01:40:12,072 --> 01:40:14,040
Do you not feel that's rather abrupt?
1042
01:40:14,207 --> 01:40:18,906
Not at all. My main responsibility
is to my investors
1043
01:40:19,679 --> 01:40:22,147
and I think it would be quite wrong
to keep their money
1044
01:40:22,949 --> 01:40:26,350
in a concern that I now consider
to be a bad investment.
1045
01:40:27,854 --> 01:40:30,846
Mr. Butler, do you think
it's possible that
1046
01:40:30,990 --> 01:40:34,858
Steven Shorter could ever
win back his popularity?
1047
01:40:37,197 --> 01:40:39,893
I don't think so.
1048
01:40:41,801 --> 01:40:47,001
Perhaps in time to come
after he's dead
1049
01:40:47,942 --> 01:40:52,276
he may be remembered
with affectionate nostalgia.
1050
01:40:56,984 --> 01:41:01,648
Within about a year all that remained
of Steven Shorter
1051
01:41:01,889 --> 01:41:05,484
were a few old records
and a piece of archive film...
1052
01:41:07,628 --> 01:41:10,995
with the sound, of course, removed.
1053
01:41:12,933 --> 01:41:19,202
It's going to be a happy year in
Britain this year in the near future.
1054
01:41:22,202 --> 01:41:26,202
