It all got a bit too much, and we had to plead with him to change."</p> <p>"The problem there was that he really struck on becoming a Michael, despite all our protests to the contrary. Jeremy was a real compromise - no one's real favourite and way down the approved list, but we were all tired, the pubs were closing and we were broken men. I just wanted out"</p> <p>"Mind you, with hindsight, we should have plumped for Isaac" </p>
