Wildly unlikely, but true.
28 Oct 1956
Joyce Grenfell meets Elvis Presley.
β€œHe called me ma'am. I thought he was pleasant, a bit of a roly-poly boy, but a good singer of his sort of hillbilly songs. We were photographed together. He put his arm round my neck and breathed down my ear-hole.”

Today I’ve blocked some dozen versions of this same bot with varying spellings of its name. I couldn’t see how best to report it.

Traitors fact that changes how you watch it. The edit is done in two sections. The first edit is of the round table. Once that’s locked, they go back and make the round table seem inevitable, by editing the day’s footage to set up what you see at the end. That’s why it seems narratively strong.
