Rosebud with Gyles Brandreth · Dame Elaine Paige · 24 Jul 2026 podcast

Yeah, yeah, we did.

I mean, not a lot, but we thought we were hippies.

We weren't really, because we actually all came from very different walks of life.

Yes, oh yes, initially.

And then eventually, some of the other gang of friends in hair, we wanted to get an apartment.

We wanted to be...

a commune and so about three or four of us boys and girls said okay well we'll take this flat and each have a bedroom and live in this commune and I can remember going home to my dear parents and

just announcing that I was going to leave home and they were pretty shocked and and said oh oh right right and um I remember oh god bless him I said my dad said and my mom said oh and when are you when are you thinking of doing this darling and I said tomorrow and

And clearly they were shocked.

And my mother told me years later that it's the only time she'd ever seen my dad cry.

Isn't that awful?

Aren't I awful?

I was just young and thinking, oh, yeah, I want to do it.

You know when you're young, you just want it now, don't you?

You want to do it immediately.

Yeah.

And the whole movie at the time.

And they didn't like the idea either that it was going to be mixed, not just girls, it was boys as well.

That's it.

It was very much so.
