1:04:00
Cue, Cobber.
1:04:02
Hi there, pop pickers.
Tonight, the teenage phenomenon.

1:04:05
I have with me in the studio
Amberly Drove...

1:04:08
Conservative member for
Beckensfield and a former headmaster.

1:04:15
Top pop picker Harry Charms.
1:04:17
Hello there, pop fans. Nice to see you.
1:04:22
We have that delightful lady newshound
all the way from the US of A...

1:04:26
Dido Lament.
1:04:27
Hello.
1:04:29
And last but not least, Colin.
1:04:31
Don"t he look good?
1:04:34
He's a teenager who's really going places.
1:04:36
Ladies and gentlemen, teenagers,
let's get with it.

1:04:40
Now Colin here snaps the habits of his
fellow teens, capturing them alive.

1:04:46
Half-dead, some of them.
1:04:50
What?
1:04:51
I've often wondered what you'd get...
1:04:53
if you crossed Jayne Mansfield
with an orangutan.

1:04:59
What"s he saying that for?
1:05:00
- What do you think you"re doing?
- It"s all right.

1:05:03
That bourgeois bastard.
He"s the kind that"s turned this scene...

1:05:06
into minks and Jags,
and little homes in Teddington.

1:05:10
Now, that's more like it.
1:05:13
Colin, are teenagers really as highly sexed
as we are led to believe?

1:05:17
I mean, if the right girl came along,
would you bother to tie the knot...

1:05:21
or is that just old square talk?
1:05:23
What the hell do you think you're doing?
These are my friends.

1:05:26
Harry, you're the toast
of Tin Pan Alley, I see.

1:05:30
I see also that you just recovered from
a very unsuccessful nose job.

1:05:33
Can you still smell success
in your teenage discoveries?

1:05:39
First of all, may I say how marvelous it is
to be on your show tonight...

1:05:43
with my latest discovery.
1:05:45
You know, my boys are always being
criticized for the way they move.

1:05:49
And it's a great shame we still can't show
what they do below the waist.

1:05:52
Amberly, I think
we'll bring you in here, now.

1:05:55
You have actually
taught teenagers yourself, haven't you?

1:05:58
Yes, Cobber, I did.
1:05:59
And I think it taught me a great deal.
