I think itโ€™s important to at least attempt to find locations that resemble the originals (for instance not just a random road with a zebra crossing). I was very pleased to see that they were filming at Brian Epsteinโ€™s actual home in Chapel Street, Belgravia, which does look pretty much as it did.

When I started work in 1986 they had a similar tea trolley although the brew was rather too โ€˜stewedโ€™ and dark for my preference. That disappeared within a few short years and we could have kettles in our office. Later that became boiling water taps in small kitchens.

Sounds like a Charles Dickens character with loose dentures.

Later performed in the 1948 film Easter Parade by Brian Epsteinโ€™s party guest Judy Garland and Sgt Pepper cover star Fred Astaire.

Iโ€™d not heard of Eva Tanguay but I see that there was a fictionalised biopic of her in 1953 called The I Don't Care Girl starring Mitzi Gaynor who later appeared on an Ed Sullivan Show with The Beatles. Everythingโ€™s connected!

I went to an Elvis Costello interview at the BFI years ago when he was curating the Meltdown Festival, and he recalled this and gave us a quick rendition of some of the title song.

Nobody could accuse you of being pusillanimous, but it still makes me laugh even though it is everything you say it is. Especially Cheese and Onions.

I have the original album (because George Harrison played guitar on it) and saw the 1991 West End stage show (which closed early after 7 weeks) featuring David McCallum with Kenny Everett performing this song.
