Fans of Lulu will also remember her recent appearances (as herself) on
Absolutely Fabulous! Just thought I'd throw that in.....

I've got a documentary about Dusty on video and this is what she says about
her own show (similar to Lulu's show):
I did two years or three years with the BBC, and one with ITV, I think, and
they were fairly hectic. Because I can't see cue cards, and besides I don't
think anyone HAD cue cards. They certainly didn't have auto-prompters. So
I had to learn it all, and I spent half of the time - you know, the dinner
break, when I was supposed to be putting my make-up on - running up and down
to the sound booth trying to get them to accept things like Jimi Hendrix's
volume. They were just kind of ashen-faced when I went up there you know,
everything had gone - the meters had totally gone..... "That's the way it's
SUPPOSED to sound!"
Then they show a clip of Jimi singing with Dusty, subtitled - "Hendrix and
Dusty - only known existing footage". And it was indeed Mockingbird!
