Bugsy Malone

S- Ugh.

Um, "With an army of nine-year-olds, you should have a splurge war like in Bugsy Malone."

Ah, nice.

Uh, oh, no, she, this is from Hazel in Durham.

With an army of nine-year-olds-

Yeah

... you should have a splurge war like Bugsy Malone.

Bugsy Malone's a good one.

So, you know, my kids used to help me out.

So, you know, to find out it was big, you know, like they told me about Bugsy Malone in Manchester when he was...

But imagine it was a mate of mine who told Bugsy to write about your life.

a big music producer from Manchester who's from Cheetah Mill too so yeah you still keep an eye on there's a you know I mean I like Sebastian Lowe Seb Lowe who's from like Oldham Way and he's very political but he's like a Billy Bragg with humour you're not political at

Yeah

... gangsters?

And yet...

My favorite, first favorite movie was Bugsy Malone.

Wow.

Which was a gangster movie, but with an all-child cast, an early role for Jodie Foster.

Scott Baio? And Scott Baio.

Is he the title, the titular Mr. Malone? He

was Bugsy Malone, that's right.

And...
