re: Handmade Films, he even makes a cheap Madonna joke at George's expense. Booooooh, Philipp Norman.
Twiggy once said she modelled herself on Patti, didn't she? And that's a sweet remark of the headmistress.
Manchester gigs: could be both pre-and post Hamburg. They were in Hamburg three times - the first trip was the one that after their return suddenly transformed them from one of many Liverpool groups to one of the most popular, the second one was when Stu decided to stay in Hamburg, then they got Brian Epstein as manager, and the third one was when he telegraphed them they had themselves a record contract. And they still did national gigs in 1962 (they opened for Helen Shapiro, for example, they weren't the main attraction); Beatlemania in a way that would have made trips from Manchester with your barmaid impossible didn't start until 1963 as far as I know.
