At one point Shelagh looked one up while the guy was talking, and came back with "yes he did", and sang the first line of the song! Then the guy mentioned that he produced Slade at one time - Shelagh sings "Merry Christmas, Everybody" to which he replied that track was recorded in America !”
Yes, Martin, as I'm sure you know, he worked on the Parlophone comedy records (Goons, Peter Sellers, Spike Milligan etc.). before signing up with the Fab Four. Coincidentally, Bernard Cribbins' "Right Said Fred' was recently discussed on here!
Regarding the Iain Dale interview, he seemed decidedly disinterested and probably just did it because he had to. Not controversial enough for him, probably. I can categorically state that he's not someone with whom I would wish to share a pint down the pub, and feel sure that the feeling would be mutual!
