00:00 Did you choose those clothes? Of course!
00:02 I made some of them myself. Did you?
00:04 See? Yeah. I made the top hat with mirrors.
00:07 Did you? Yeah. How?
00:08 I bought the hat in Kensington Market.
00:11 People think I bought it off Freddie Mercury,
00:14 but I went to Kenny Market.
00:15 Freddie used to have a stall there,
00:17 him and Roger from Queen, selling shirts and paraphernalia.
00:21 Right. And I went down Kenny Market,
00:23 used to buy shirts off him.
00:25 And Freddie... Can I have one of them? No, this is...
00:27 And Freddie used to say to me, "Doddy darling,
00:30 "I'm going to be a big pop star like you one day."
00:33 I said, "Get off, Freddie."
00:35 In more colourful language.
00:37 I said, "Go on, Freddie, you're never going to be a pop star."
00:40 He showed me, didn't he? Yeah.
00:42 And anyway, two stalls down,
00:44 they used to sell old Victorian memorabilia.
00:47 And I bought the top hat there and stuck my own mirrors on
00:50 and it became a famous icon of the glam rock era.
00:54 How did you stick them on? With what? Glue? Glue!
00:56 It was very heavy.
00:58 I used to wear it for three songs on the concert.
