"Cut it." "I got it back on." "It's really about the innocence and loss of innocence." "And the exploitation of innocence, always appeals to me because again that happened in 'Tommy', and I, and it certainly began to happen with Tom and Barry, the way they were bought." "Conjoined twins desolate location, cut off from everything, where they are, where they grew up." "They're sold by their own father and they move out into the world." "What happens to them then?" "I mean, it's all incredibly Gothic." "Mum had been having these terrible these terrible nightmares." "She thought she was expecting triplets." "Doctors got it wrong." "And mum passed away the next day." "Never even saw them." "And there they were my two brothers." "Joined together just here at the chest." "Peas in a pod." "The doctors wanted to try separation surgery." "But father'd have none of it." "It was bad enough he'd lost his wife." "He wasn't having the doctors messing about with his boys." "Father took us off to live out on the Head." "Didn't let no-one near us." "No-one knew us." "We didn't go to school like other kids." "Dad taught us everything." "They were grand times." "Music hall." "I trod the boards before I could walk." "I did a double act with me mum." "Zelda and little Zak." "Ever heard of 'em?" "Music business now is no different to what it was then." "People want a show." "Punters wanna see something a bit different." "Yeah, well, back in the late fifties and sixties you know, if I'm being honest," "Zak Bedderwick was the king." "Whatever, whoever he wanted he had." "He reckoned The Noize was gonna be the new Small Faces, that Chris Dervish was gonna be the new Steve Marriott." "The band collapsed when Chris Dervish, the lead singer took his 1968" "Ford Shelby for a swim in Staines reservoir." "The run of bad luck had left Zak Bedderwick bruised and... pretty battered." "He hadn't had a pop hit of any kind for some years." "By 1974, he was ready to, raise the stakes." "When my father signed that contract, he believed he'd secured Tom and Barry an income." "If you would just sign there, please." "He wanted his boys to be able to look after themselves." "Dad." "So many wanted to claim them." "In some ways, even more now than when they were alive, but... there's never been, like, any real concern or love." "The contract stipulated that Bedderwick Walker Entertainments would own exclusive publishing rights to the Howe twins' music." "In return, Albert Howe and his sons were guaranteed a substantial salary." "Payable monthly for a period of one year." "Hand on my heart, I never exploited anyone who didn't want to be exploited." "Then Mr Couling took them away." "I never thought I'd be in a rock band I thought, if we... we might get away from, from the head and that, and I thought we might go and get a job and that, but..." "We listened to lots of music, but it was..." "Yeah, we like and we always used to, like, get the records on and like at Christmas and that, like, we'd always." "Put on some older." "Well, like, and, well, just generally, we'd always, like, get on, like but I, I think," "I dunno, we've got something special." "I mean everyone who's ever been famous has always had something that's special to them, and... we've got something special." "But no-one, ever thought we'd ever, ever, ever be..." "Doing an interview." "Here, and, like, doing this with a band and doing this, and..." "Someone, someone recordingan interview with us actually, I mean no, no, but I think it has always been, like, sort of a, a dream." "A dream." "All right, hello, mate." "I just want a kind of a nice happy vibe, but I'm gonna introduce you to the boys." "Sucking it out but holding it in." "This is, this is amazing stuff really." "Looking at it after all these years." "It was a weird place." "Zak created this, this magical wonderland." "He had every freak in the world there." "But, of course, the boys were main attraction." "It was all about them." "I didn't have that much going on myself at the time so, they were gonna give me a few bucks a week all my expenses and I was gonna have the opportunity to shoot whatever I wanted to about this" "this weird idea." "Right?" "Okay, now." "Hold them tight, press them down." "And just play those three." "Go on you'll get it." "Listen to him." "Just play the three that you want." "Most of the chords, you know, you can put them anywhere." "You can write a fucking song with that." "Just keep doing that." "Make sure you've got it in your head." "I'm gonna put a song on." "No, it's do-do." " Just don't tell me" " Don't argue" "I'm not." "And listen." "Are you ready?" "Yeah." "I want you to listen to this, right?" "Paul, that's what I was playing." "And then all I have to teach you to do is play another couple of chords and you've got the song, mate." "Me and Zak go back to, like, the mid-sixties." "He was always getting me in to babysit the new kids." "Zak wanted singing Siamese twins and he wanted them pop." "The name was his idea, The Bang Bang." "It was my job to sort the boys out musically." "I can't reach." "I hurt my fingers." "Well, it's gonna hurt, innit?" "Tom, get off." "You're getting in my way." "You're fucking it up!" "I need to get that plectrum now, don't I?" "Where have you put it?" "Well, Barry threw it." "No, I didn't." "Don't throw it." "Barry, look, at some point you're gonna have to play it." "See what I'm doing?" "You're gonna have to learn this stuff at some point." "Won't." "Have a sing, then." "Sing it." "Yeah, that's a good idea." "Sing it." "That's it." "Keep going." "A, E, A..." " Is that for me?" " Yeah." "Well, share it." " There you go." " Thanks, Paul." "You're welcome." "Keep going." "E, A, E." "That's it, mate." "That's almost in tune." "Drink a bit more and then it'll be in tune." "It works." "Maybe that's what we'll do." "We'll string a load of those together and..." "Bottle solo from Baz." "That's it." "That's it." "An apprenticeship, he called it." "My future in the entertainment industry." "Fucking hell, he's there!" "Oh, he's got it Georgie Best!" "Georgie Best!" "They were a shock." "That's what they were like." "A real shock." "Fuck it!" "Bedderwick had called me." "He told me, but he didn't tell me." "If you know what I mean." "Two-one!" "Two-one..." "I was just a henchman." "Just his henchman, you know?" "Unpaid arsewipe." "Handling all those freaks was just another shitty gig to me." "Here." "Paul." "Paul." "Look, give the other one a guitar, yeah?" "Give 'em both a guitar." "It'll look good." "No, trust me, give 'em one each." "Yeah?" "Give 'em this one." "There you go." "Here you are, Barry." "Barry." "No, it'll look good." "It's not gonna work, Paul." "It's a stupid idea." "Let's just start, let's just Fucking hell!" "Have you got something to say to me, Barry?" "You should turn it off." "It's a fucking joke." "There was a bit of a discipline problem with Barry right from the start, you know." "So I used to hose him down if he got out of control." "No, I'm serious." "You know, with kids and that well, you've gotta have a firm hand, ain't ya?" "Barry, you know, he was always holding something back." "There was always something else going on with him." "I mean, a lot of people's take was he's mischievous, he's a country kid but, no, I think, very deep." "I think it was something that ran real deep with him." "I'd like to be going home." "Why does he have to come in?" "He's gotta come in, Baz." " Why?" " Well, he's gotta see it, mate." "He'll see, you know, how much you've improved." "Look, boys, I mean do it for me, you know, cos cos I'll get shit on if, if I'm not seen to be doing my job, so..." "Let's just do it." "I'm not playing if Nick comes in." "You have to, mate." "You have to." "I can't get around it." "You gotta do it, you know." "And at some point you've gotta do it in front of an audience, so..." "I mean you know, Nick's the least of your worries." "So, Paul, we haven't really spoken about Nick Sidney and how he interacted with Tom and Barry." "Why did you stand by when these kids were getting beaten up?" "Fuck off!" "Fuck off, Eddie!" "What you fucking still doing here?" "What's going on?" "What you doing up there?" "Both of you, down now!" "Fuck off!" "Do you..." "Jesus!" "Tom, what do you think you're playing at?" "This is silly." "Eddie, fuck off!" "What was that?" "Do you wanna be in the band?" "Jesus Chr..." "little bastard!" "I swear to God, if you don't come down..." "All we want, though." "You will not be in a band." "I will take you home!" "Do you want it?" "You fucking cunt, you'll be out of a job if you fucking take us home!" "You need us more than we need you!" "What's Zak gonna say then, eh?" "Yeah, sure, there was a bad vibe, you know." "Barry was out of control, so what?" "Barry delivered when he was under the cosh, yeah?" "The treatment I give him worked." "You see all them girls?" "Yeah?" "That's you." "He called me, he: said "The boys need a band, and they need an original song"." "Their signature, if you like." "And the only brief he gave me, he wanted something a bit sexy." "So I thought, "Okay, well, we've got two Siamese twins, well, you know a pair of Siamese twins"." "So I called up Tubs Puller, the ex-Noize drummer." "And I knew this art school kid, Spitz, on guitars." "And I was on bass." "Here we go." "Well, 'Two-Way Romeo', if you Twolisten to the lyrics, it'll tell you what it's about." "And then the chorus again." "We're gonna play down at this, grotty little pub in Stokey." "But they had a great reputation for good new bands." "I mean, back then, we had, music three nights a week." "DJs Wednesdays bands Fridays and Saturdays." "Now they'd rather have a meal." "Yeah, the bands used to just walk through here." "There was a bar along here." "And over there in the corner was the little stage." "It was a rough crowd that night." "Really nasty." "At Humbleden, these guys were protected." "But suddenly they were thrusted to this audience." "They were dead nervous." "The crowd are just, I mean, they're shouting things out at them, things like you know, "Who are these two poofs coming on cuddling each other?"" "Chanting." ""Get off." "Get off you queer wankers!"" "Everybody just froze." "Everyone just froze." "Out of the blue" "I'll never forget this," "Barry just grabs the mic stand and starts screaming the lyrics." "I mean, really snarling it out." "I'd never seen anything like that before." "Audience are going fucking mad, throwing things at them." "And then one of the lads just he just started kind of taunting the audience back." "Barry's lifting his shirt up." "Tempting them, you know?" "Showing them kind of where the join was." "Everyone in that audience thought it was a gag." ""Show it, show it, show it!"" "And then he just rips open his shirt, and you just see this incredible, you know, band of skin joining them together." "It was like a freak show." "It was like" ""Here I am." "Fuck you"." "Bedderwick didn't want no filming that night." "Just in case they flopped." "Well, they didn't flop." "That was The Bang Bang." "I called Zak straight away." ""Zak, you got a band." "It's working. "" "Happy Christmas." "What is it?" "What is it?" "That's a special from Mr Bedderwick, mate." "There's a letter in there as well." "Let's have a look." "It's an antique." "Don't just gently, lads, gently, gently." "I hope you can do something with this." "With great expectations." "Zak..." "Zak Bedderwick." "Let's have a look." "Look, it means a lot to him that sheet music." "Yeah?" "What is it, Tom?" "Show me." " 'Every Little Moment. '" " The Hilton Sisters." "Words and music by Bobby Jones." "Featuring the phenomenal success." "The Hilton Sisters." "The Hilton Sisters." "Yeah, they were another Siamese act." "Siamese sisters?" "Gently, gently, it's an antique." "Well, what does he want us to do with it?" "I don't know." "You figure it out, boys." "God, right." "Go on then, sing it." "It's not a fucking joke." "Come on." "It sounds like one of our dad's old songs." "I don't care what it sounds like, you know." "Change it, do something with it, yeah?" "Just..." " We'll change it, we'll change it." " Change it." "Take it back." "Whole idea of it was it was Zak's blessing." "It was, it was his blessing." "It was, it was his way of saying "Go ahead, make an album." "Go for it, I'll pay for it. "" "I mean, Zak..." "Zak thought it: was just a matter of, you know, padding out a couple of catchy hits with a few extra tunes." "Nobody else, just me." "I wanted it to be me in the room, and it felt like it was me in the room." "Yeah, the boom boom, bang bang thing." "Really really buzzing from it." "It was brilliant." "My ears are ringing and, and I've just been so upset." "She's been so upset." "But I, I didn't care any more because." "Doesn't matter what you look like, doesn't matter what you dress like." "Here to dance." "Oh, my mum's gonna kill me when she finds out I..." "When he undid his shirt, we kind of fancied them." "If they can do that, then we can do anything." " That's fucking rocking." " Yeah, yeah." "Zak Bedderwick wanted me to get the photo for the album sleeve, the record sleeve, you know, and... well, I was going to do this kind of Fontainebleau." "You know, the two women that are holding each other's nipples." "Well, one's holding the other one." "So I thought that, you know, with the play, with the twins, with the join, with the girls with the masks." "And then Barry he took the whole thing completely out of my hands." "The girls didn't know..." "I didn't, I just thought I've got to go with this." "Tom was, he was a little studious boy that wanted to be a good musician, that wanted to get it right that wanted to please me." "And Barry wanted to fuck with me." "Testosterone." "That's what happened." "Well that's what I'm talking about, they're, they're threatening to do an expose." "Muck raking." "They're talking freaks, Henry." " They're talking cruel training methods." " Right." "...Mr Bedderwick, would you say that the information in this proposed article comes within any appreciable distance of being accurate?" "Well, that's what I'm worried about." "I know the journalist." "So do you." "Laura Ashworth." "Laura Ashworth?" "Laura Ashworth was a slapper, mate." "If you're in trouble and you need a friend." "Laura Ashworth is the last person you want coming round the corner." "Maybe a cowbell." "Hello, Laura." "How are you, sweetheart?" "Good to see you." "It's been a while, ain't it?" "Look at you." "Paul, what's this, who's this?" "This is Laura." " Laura Ashworth." " Is it?" "Yeah." "Bit old for a, a groupie, aren't you, darling?" "Actually, no, I don't think I am." "I think you are." "Do you?" " Yeah." " Oi... gently." "It's Tom, isn't it?" "That's right." "You are correct." "I am Tom." "Good to meet you, Tom." "This is George." " I thought it was Barry." " Hi..." "I'm George." "George." "Do you mind if I call you, Barry?" "Look, he's, he's joking." "I'm actually Barry." " Call me Georgina if you want." " I'm Barry." "Shake my hand." "Touch my hand." "Hello." "I'm Barry." "Bloody hell." "What's the, what's the fucking gag then?" "What is she doing here?" "Haven't you been told?" "She's gonna write your autobiography." "Is she fuck." "What?" "No, I'm not writing your autobiography." "No, I know you're not." "See you later." "Nick." "What?" "What exactly have...?" "So that's all right." "So what, are you a music journalist then or...?" "Well, not quite, but the..." "I'm writing for an academic publication." "Yeah, you're gonna be in an academic publication." "Academic publication no less." " Academic publication." " Yeah." "You're on the way up." "Well, you guys specifically." "What about us?" "Well, you know you're kind of you know, you're, you're, you're different." " You're..." " What?" " young and exciting and, you know." " Young, exciting, give me, give me a third." "Listen, I'm, I'm actually writing an article about exploitation of the physically impaired." "Speak to Tubs, he's got a dodgy ankle." "Of course, I had this image of these two young victims, these poor defenceless boys that were being totally exploited." "And then when I see these, these, these, these young, vibrant men with this energy and this presence, and it just threw me totally." "When Mr Bedderwick approached me with the Laura" "Ashworth problem" "I suggested he took her on the payroll." "I knew she wouldn't be able to resist recapturing her past." "And I knew she wouldn't be able to resist the twins." "It was child psychology." "So have you interviewed loads of other bands and stuff, Laura?" "Unofficially, yes." "Off, off the record." " Co, covert, covert operations." " Off the record." "On the QT." " Yeah." " Microphone down your panties?" "Barry." "I have to keep him on a lead." " Do you?" " Yeah." "Is that your job, between the two of you?" "Yeah." "Yes." " Really?" " Yeah." "How do you, how do you feel about the people at Humbleden?" " Tubs and Spitz?" " Tubs and Spitz." "It's..." "And..." "It's a great crowd." "You like them?" "Yeah, well, the... you know, there's lots of..." "And Mick and Aaron and..." "Felix and Ben." "Are there any people, in particular that you you get on with more than." "Ask him about Adelle." "Who's Adelle?" "Adelle." " Adelle?" " Just a girl I like." "Just a girl." "Oh, really?" "Is there interest already?" "Well, you wanna ask Tom about that." "Tell me about Adelle." "No, it's not important." "No, go on, te..." "Am I embarrassing you?" "No, don't" "What, what's that?" " What was he gonna hand me?" " It's just my songbook." "It's what I write my chords in and that, and like..." "Have you written a song about a girl?" "No." "It's talking, talking dirty." "And, says you, says you wanna, says you wanna, says you wanna have sex with her." "What?" "What?" "Oh, what?" "Tommy does." "Tommy, Tommy wakes up in the night, what, talking about" "Adelle and that and that he wants to he wants to touch her bum." "Shut up." "And, and he fiddles." "Shut up." " He rubs himself up and down at night." " Shut up." " Shut up." " He does." " He does." "He does." " Shut up." "Shut up." " He wakes up in the night and he's always" " Just shut up." "Just... and I can feel the bed rolling around and I know it's..." "Look, just shut up, Barry." "What's that?" "What's that, he likes to touch himself?" "Barry, just shut up." "Right, guys, why don't we just Shut up." " Cos Tommy likes..." " Shut up." "Does Tommy like to touch?" "Just shut up!" " Just fucking shut up!" " Does Tommy like to touch himself?" "Shut up!" "Tommy fiddles with himself at night!" "Just shut up!" "Tom, you're a bit sensitive today." "Shut up." "He hasn't had his normal morning wank." "Probably heard it all before." "What?" "Probably wanked boys off yourself." "Barry." "You two should go upstairs and take your boots off." "And go in there and spread your legs." "Okay,so, can I ask you what what happened there?" "He speaks the truth." "Who, who does?" "Hasn't got a name." "He's just there." "What?" "It's nothing. sits there." "It's nothing, nothing's there." "Just... just sometimes" "I'm just interested to know." "hell, Sieg heil, Sieg heil" "In the first series forty-seven left wing protesters were arrested." "Tension rose still higher as the National Front march, well over a thousand strong, reached the entrance to Red Lion Square." "Their way was left-wingers and both sides were kept apart by the police." "I noticed that Tom was writing stuff down, he had a lot of ideas." "So I let him let him, you know, just, just go with it." "I mean, it was like an explosion of stuff." "If you listen to the lyrics of the songs it was very small, it was all about really the places they came from." "They always had an edge." "They always had a sense of danger." "Play it again, yeah?" "Two to one and one is three." "Are you you or are you me?" "Now you tell me what that's about?" "Like all little kids, Tom and Barry had a secret friend they used to talk to." "I had two myself." "Doola and Dawla." "They lived in my shoes." "I don't know what the boys called theirs." "...bury me." "Bury me." "Kill me." "It was their secret friend brought all those terrible nightmares." "His oldest trick, right, what it is, is we got lots of rubber bands, right from Robbie's box, like, sewing box and that..." "Robbie's box then we put them all together, and that just stuck us together." "Tom grows on Barry and Barry grows on Tom." "And that is..." "And that is what it is." "Life is that..." "Come on then." "Will you give us one..." "You got the lyrics there?" "As long as we're in together, be all right?" "Bang bang Ready?" "Come on." "Too fucking right." "One more time!" "You did and you didn't forget that they were actually physically joined together because they were two very different people." "I found the way Tom held his silence was attractive." "And Barry was vulnerable and I tapped into that very quickly and although he made me feel uncomfortable because he was so in your face a lot of the time" "I just wanted to protect him, really." "They're, they're, they're, they're right through, they're right through these posh girls, hang out, whatever they've got, the education got, you know, I'd... you know, they lead" "lead people astray, mate, lead people astray, they" "It's generally held that conjoined held that conjoined separated whenever medically possible as early as possible." "The Howes were omphalopagus." "Joined at the lower chest." "As were the original Siamese twins Chang and Eng Bunker." "Tom and Barry Howes' circulatory system was inter - interconnected." "And in addition they shared a liver." "An operation to separate the twins would have been accompanied by extraordinary dangers given the medical knowledge of that time." "Especially as Barry had been born with a congenital heart defect which made him the weaker sibling." "However, I have no doubt that that would have been the correct decision." " Chang and Eng." " Chang and Eng." "They were born in Siam." " And they were like..." " They could have cut themselves apart." "We got a bread knife, cos that's probably better, but this is like, it's like, it's like, like a hot knife through butter, that is." "Bye-bye, Ba... bye- bye, Barry." "Bye-bye, bye-bye, Barry." "Do you wanna be separate?" "Might do, might not." "Could do." "Could not." "Are you guys gonna have kids?" "Dunno." "Are you gonna have a kid?" "Imagine if I had twins." "Imagine if I had triplets." "Imagine if I had quads." "Imagine if I had." "Sextuplets." "Five-tuplets." "If I had conjoined twins" "I would cut 'em down the middle like a slice of bread." "I think Ken Russell should stick to 'Women In Love' which I think is brilliant." "But like a lot of biopics, you know, they miss the essence, the essential beauty." " Are you done with those?" " Oh, my darling." "Thank you very much." "You're a star." "You're my wonderful woman." " Excuse me." " Adelle?" "Adelle?" "That's just how I like them." "Something I can dunk my soldiers in if you know what I mean, Laura." "Do you like dunking your soldiers, Barry?" "I love to dunk my soldier." "You love it when I dunk my soldier, don't you, Laura?" "Shut up, Barry." "Oh, hard." "Never mind, never mind." "I reckon what we should do, just to make this beautiful sunny morning even better" "put" "Does it look nice?" " I love it." "It's lovely." " Thank you, Barry." "You look very pretty, Laura." "You do, you look very pretty this morning, actually." "What?" "What, Tommy?" "Want a soldier?" "Play something else, Tom." "Tom." "Tom." "Tom, play another fucking song." "Tom, you've been playing that song for the last fucking half an hour." "Look, it wasn't an ideal situation, and I know that, you know." "And I had my own anger and frustration about it." "I fell in love with Tom." "You can't choose who you fall in love with." "When Barry performed, it was like he was fighting for his life." "It was like he just wanted that to keep going." "And I think he was afraid it would stop." "I think the thought of not having that kind of sense of of power, maybe." "Sense of being wanted." "Of being adored." "I think that frightened Barry a lot." "Fuck off!" "Fuck off!" "Stop it!" "Stop it!" "All right, Tom, all right." "Get off!" "There were always fights, but... one time in particular" "Barry actually threatened Tom with a knife." "And it got very real." "I actually examined the Howe brothers on a, on a single occasion, just once after one of those, violent episodes that they were prone to." "And it was here that I discovered something very interesting." "This dark patch." "And growth of some kind." "Now, Barry's mood swings and restlessness and general paranoia are indicative of amphetamine abuse, but... those symptoms can also be attributed to a tumour." "There have been cases where one twin is encapsulated in a cyst or tumour inside the other." "It's known as foetus in fetu." "There was the case of a farmer, aged twenty-eight, who went to the doctor complaining of a stomach ache." "He was found to have a thirteen pound foetal twin inside his abdomen." "On opening the head of the foetus, two additional foetuses were found in the cranial cavity." "It's conceivable that Barry Howe harboured the rudiments of a third foetus in his cranium." "A lot of people have asked me about this, this third head on, on the shoulders of the, of the brothers." "In the novel I just, I just simply didn't believe it, because things don't grow like that, whereas a sort of growth on the... on the back of the neck." "These, these things, you know, are medically documented in such cases." "But I did think it was a wonderful metaphor for their for their genius, if you, if you like." "It was as though it, it, it contained the essence of their being." "If you stopped and tried to change the world every time you've got the camera turning," "I guess you'd never make a film, and maybe you shouldn't." "Maybe you should never be there for..." "I know one thing." "We should have had a psychiatrist at Humbleden." "You know, if you're gonna push all those buttons with people's psyches somebody should be there qualified to handle it when it gets out of control." "Is there anyone here tonight called William?" "William?" "Is there anyone called William here?" "Yeah." "You're a fucking cunt!" "Fuck off!" "Get off the stage." "Off." "Put your arm round me, Barry." "Put your arm round me." "Get the door, Tom." "Get round the fucking front." "Get in the back." "Get in the back." "Where are you, Tom?" "What can you see?" "Where's Barry gone?" "He's whispering in his ear." "He's whispering." "Who's whispering Tom?" "Is Barry whispering?" "Growing out the sand." "What's it saying, Tom?" "He's getting out." "He's getting out." "Tom, it's just a bad dream." "Just a bad dream." "There's nothing going on with the band." "Everything is good, Mr Bedderwick." "Well, you'll see for yourself, won't you." "You'll see for yourself." "And when you see for yourself you'll be very, very happy." "Tom, how's it going?" "It's great, Eddie, it's great." "It's really great." "Yeah?" "What's happening?" "Oh, Barry did a monster one, didn't he?" "You don't have to answer his questions, Tom." "Tom does one, Barry does one." "Goes in a circle, doesn't it, Barry?" " Barry." " Eats itself." "Eats itself, don't it, Barry?" "What's happening, Baz?" "What's happening with you?" "Tom does one." "One." " Barry does one." " No!" "Barry does one." "Bang bang." "I know as time went on that Tom became less and less happy with his situation, and..." "I know that may have been something to do with me, but if it wasn't me, it would have been somebody else, you know, and..." "I think he wanted his freedom." "The emotional and intellectual lives of conjoined twins are entwined in a, in a highly complex way." "There may be a physical separation that is successful, but... in my opinionl think it's very, very difficult to have a successful emotional severance." "Fuck all to do with me." " Stop playing for two minutes." " What?" "Read it." "It's to Laura." "What?" "Right." "Where's Laura?" "Where's Laura?" "Where is Laura?" "Where is Laura?" "I dunno." "Paul, what does it say?" "It's from some doctor." ""Come in for a consultation"" "with reference to fucking separating 'em." "To Laura." "I received this letter from Laura Ashworth acting on behalf of the twins." "The gist is they wished to explore the possibility of separation." "I didn't send that letter to Allardyce Stevens." "Who else would have wrote a letter like that?" "Who would else you know, who would have had the connections, who would have known them sort of people, you know?" "Course it came from Laura." "Got to, ain't it?" "Sort of thing she would have done." "I have serious doubts that both twins would have survived the operation." "As it was, my response went unanswered." "I never heard from them or Laura Ashworth again." "Bedderwick, you know, he went fucking apeshit!" "He said that bitch had to go." "Someone had to shut her up." "I left because Tom didn't ask me to stay, really." "You know, he didn't say anything, he didn't back me up." "He..." "I wasn't really in a position to defend myself." "Or I didn't feel I was then, anyway." "Really I was set up." "Well... if you ask me, I think Tom guessed who sent the letter." "So, are you guys gonna get separated?" "Maybe when one of us..." "What?" "What?" "He says when one of us dies then we both die." "Together." "We go together." "Go together." "Yeah." "Sounds fucking good." "It sounds fucking brilliant." "So let's get the bass right." "Bury me..." "Tom was a very cool customer." "But..." "I don't think he knew how angry he was." "I..." "I think" "I think that he was a walking time bomb." "This is a special night for The Bang Bang." "First we'd like to welcome the record company people." "And, of course, Mr Zak Bedderwick." "Bedderwick?" "She okay?" "She didn't wanna come tonight, no?" "No, no, no, no." "Not tonight." "Tammy, have a nice evening, pleased to meet you." "Hi, how you doing?" "A lot of you have been here before." "You have seen 'em many, many a fucking time." "So you know what's coming don't you?" "Who do you want?" "Bang Bang!" "Who do we fucking want?" "Bang Bang!" "So here they are." "The Bang Bang." "Is there anyone out there called Zak?" "This one's for you, Zak." "What you give you get back." "This was the future." "That's what we were trying to do." "It was something to do with the future." "And Barry and Tom just took it into a different place." "Just build and build and build and it was fucking wonderful." "Here." "Impossible to see exactly what happened." "I didn't see." "I was..." "I couldn't get to them." "I just..." "There's the guitar being lifted, right there." "Now where's Barry?" "There was a few rumours going around, weren't there?" "Some people said they saw this, some people said they saw that." "But you can't..." "I would have to say that Barry had been struck." "Look how anguished Tom is here." "I just think that he snapped." "I mean, Barry was out of it by then, and Tom was, he was shaking when he come out." "He didn't speak or nothing." "White." "I didn't see the twins." "Nick bundled them off, got them back to Humbleden." "All I know is that they were in bad shape." "It's a long time ago, mate, long time ago." "When I went to the big house to collect my brothers they were in terrible state." "And no-one could tell me what had happened." "Tom was crying." "In anger." "And fear, too." "And Barry just stared." "It's like he wasn't there at all." "Unbury me." "Unbury me." ""You better take us home, Robbie," Tom says." "So I did." "Who's burying me?" "I can't, I can't breathe." "Can't breathe, I can't breathe, can't breathe." "Shall we do it, Tommy?" " Shall we do it?" " Go on then." "One, two, three." "Go on, I'll close my eyes." " Go on, do it, just do it." " Hold the other side." "All right." "Ready?" "One, two, three." "Look away a minute, look away a minute." "Yeah, I've done it." "Done it." "I just can't be bothered to move." "No." "Can't." "That was where I found 'em." "They were... they were huddled together." "It was like they were sleeping." "Like when they were little kids" "I'm not sure if Barry had died first, but Tom" "you could see where he'd tried to sever himself" "from his brother." "Where are you, Tom?" "What can you see?" "Sand." "Sand." "Where's Barry gone?" "He's whispering... he's whispering." "Who, who's whispering, Tom?" "He doesn't have a name." "He doesn't..." "Tom, it's just a bad dream." "It doesn't have a name." "Just a bad dream."
