3D had their first hit record in January. ‘We did

everything ourselves,’ said Jenny Boyce. ‘We played all the instruments, ran the studio and produced the record. We even went round the shops ourselves, selling it.’ Pick Me Up sold half a million copies in the first two months and has been selling well since then. ‘We’ve been working on the next record,’ said Jenny. ‘It’s called I need Shelter and it’ll be in shops next month.’

Yes.

Then take the second turning to the left.

The second turning to the left. Yes.

It’s just round the corner.

Thank you.

Not at all.

Oh, there’s the telephone-box. Now, let’s look at the instructions. «Have money ready». All right. Here’s a sixpence. «Lift receiver». «Listen for dialling tone». Well, there it is. «Dial carefully, then wait for a tone». B.B.C. - that’s 580 - 4468. 5-8-0-4-4-6-8. That’s it. «Now press in coin». That’s the sixpence going.

B.B.C. Good morning.

May I speak to Mr.Jones, News Department, please.

One moment, please.

Thank you.

Jones speaking.

Hello, this is Miss Miller speaking.

Miss Miller? Oh, it’s you, Nancy.

Yes, it’s me. How are you, Harold?

Fine, thanks. How are you?

I’m fine, thank you.

Are you in Hastings at the moment?

No, I’m standing in a telephone-box in Charring Cross Road.

So you’re in London now.

Listen, Harold. Can you come to Hastings next Saturday?

To Hastings? To your family?

Yes, it’s Peter’s birthday.

A birthday-party? Rather, I’d like that.

Can you come, Harold?

Yes, of course, Nancy. That’s all right. I’ll come first thing in the morning.

Good idea, Harold. That’s lovely!

But what shall I buy for Peter?

Well, he’s fond of reading cowboy books.

All right. I’ll get him a cowboy book.

Good. Our address is 26 Castle Road. It’s not far from the railway station.

26 Castle Road. Thank you for calling, Nancy. Till then.

Till then, Harold. Good-bye.

Good-bye.
