Stella Street

Stars Over Stella Street.
On August the 11, 1963...

:00:19

...something extraordinary happened...

:00:22

...to this leafy suburban street
in South West London.

:00:25

Something that the residents
of Stella Street will always remember.

:00:28

L was going into the kitchen to put
on the kettle, to make tea...

:00:33

...when the doorbell goes, and there's
a man in a suit just standing there.

:00:37

L was 11, and I was boiling
this rabbit that was still alive.

:00:41

And all of a sudden,
this huge car turned up...

:00:44

...and these four very strange-looking
gadgees got out.

:00:48

They said this house here and this street
would be great for the Fab Four.

:00:53

And I said, "Fab for what?"

:00:57

Should have got ourselves
A better place up West, oh, yeah

:01:01

Instead of hanging 'round
A smelly dump like this

:01:05

The landlady's getting old

:01:07

And I spy, with my little eye,
something beginning with R.

:01:11

Yeah, run!

:01:15

Eh, you know, Eileen,
after all them posh hotels...

:01:17

...staying with you is like staying
with me favourite auntie.

:01:21

You boys want a square meal after
running from all the girls at the station.

:01:26

Some of them want more
than your autograph.

:01:29

- Let's do something, shall we?
- Okay.

:01:31

One, two, three, four.

:01:32

I should have put some butter
On me toast today

:01:37

But the cornflakes
Have floated away

:01:41

It's always been little bit of a favourite
spot for the celebrities for some reason.

:01:46

I used to see Richard Burton
get out of his huge Daimler...

:01:49

...because he was
a very rich superstar.

:01:53

Wait here all night.

:01:55

Why he had to live in digs here,
I'll never know.

:01:58

Hello, Richard.
On your own again?
