Without hesitation she said Amanda Lear, The naughty director of the programme then showed a clip from an episode in which she has a sex-change! I think it is a well known fact that Jennifer Saunder's characterisation was based on '80's PR guru Lynne Franks but I had never heard this one before. I wonder how well La Lumley knew Amanda Lear for her to be an inspiration. The sex-change episode was hilarious - the flashback to Marrakech with Patsi dressed in St Pepper outfit with a droopy moustache and John Bird flitting lasciviously round him/her was classic. I'm surprised Ferry never turned up in one of the episodes - Lulu and Twiggy did.

Having recently watched the excellent Taranta interview in which Ferry talks about working on the new Roxy album (the one where the audience goes wild at all things Roxy while Ferry smiles weakly as the weight of expectation crushes his enthusiasm for the project) I was left wondering what he wants from the new Roxy Music album? A smooth continuation from where Avalon left off? A triumphant return to the avant garde of the early years, showing the new young pretenders how it's done? Or an odd mix between the two? The Scissor Sisters contribution is interesting - to me it points towards the Angel Eyes/ Same Old Scene side of the band. So, given the diversity of what is possible, what do you want from the album*? J *obviously for it to even be released is a given! ___________________________________________________________________________ To unsubscribe, mail majordomo@smoe.org with: unsubscribe avalon ------------------------------ End of avalon-digest V12 #349 ***************************** ======================================================================== For further info, mail majordomo@smoe.org with: info avalon-digest
