Brian, Pattie, and George at a bullfight in Arlés, France, 1965.
This story has been floating around the internet. I couldn’t find an article or interview of anyone talking about this. But if anyone can please post the link and tag me? The story claims that their shocked looks are because one of the matadors was showing off to a girl in the audience. He had been trying to catch her attention and was distracted. The bull came up behind the matador and, well, gored him. George shouted “Don’t look! Don’t look!” And he fainted.
I feel bad for Georgie Barker cause [i may be wrong here] but isnt her Cannon that shes scouse and was forced to adopt a more PR accent to not be made fun of?
Yeah im from Merseyside, not too far from Liverpool, and my family is scouse so we have a bit of that accent.
But also i wish we got a scouse accented Georgie cause people with thick Scouse accents can and are smart too. Liverpudlians are usually stereotyped as being mean, harsh, animalistic, theives and all that stuff, all cause of british media [the sun]. Its rare you see a character from merseyside full stop. To see a character seen [mostly] in a postive light means a lot. And seeing a Manc as the bad guy made me chuckle.
