00:00 Hackney Diamonds, what does that mean?
00:03 What does that mean to you, Keith?
00:04 Anything?
00:05 What is Hackney Diamonds?
00:07 - It got called Hackney Diamonds
00:09 because I think we were flinging ideas around for titles
00:13 and we went from hit and run, smash and grab,
00:17 and somehow between that--
00:19 - I like those.
00:20 - We came up with Hackney Diamonds,
00:23 which is like a variation of the both.
00:25 And also, it's a London band, you know?
00:28 And we thought that was--
00:29 (audience cheering)
00:32 - But does Hackney Diamonds, isn't it like a type of slang?
00:39 - Yeah.
00:40 It's like when you get your windscreen broken
00:43 on Saturday night in Hackney, all round.
00:45 (audience laughing)
00:47 And all the bits go on the street.
00:48 - Yeah, the shattered windscreen.
00:50 - That's called a smash and grab.
00:51 That's Hackney Diamonds.
