I just thought, oh, God, breakfast.

I'm not a morning person, Giles.

Anyway, I got myself organised.

I got on about six just to get myself brain in order.

And off I go with all my questions to ask him about her.

And, you know, when he first came in, I could see that he was...

I wouldn't say grumpy, but he probably thought, I need this like a hole in the head kind of thing.

And I sort of implied that he could only give me half an hour or something like that.

Well, one o'clock lunchtime, we were still sitting there.

And I had interviewed him.

Rather like you're doing with me now.

And of course, while he spoke of her and reminisced about her and their life together, his face lit up and his eyes sparkled.

And and so he and between he and Charles Dumont.

told me things like, for example, that, well, Charles Aston of all, he said that he would drive her from concert to concert when she was already famous.

And he was her driver and sort of her confidant, I suppose.

And she would get him to drive with his feet on the steering wheel.

She was crazy.

She was full of fun and lived at night, really.

Slept during the day and lived at night.

And in fact, they had a rather serious car accident.
