The question asked after the film -

That was Neil Diamond reaching the top five in 1971.
One of these things caused the cancellation of his 1997 tour.
Was it  -
A) He severely injured his back lifting a motor bike for a friend?
B) His driver reversed the tour bus over a ten foot drop and into a snowdrift?
C) He refused to perform unless his five pet dogs could accompany him in their own luxury vehicle?
Before the team came up with an answer, we saw bits of the film again as they made their comments like -
I actually think he had a bit of a problem with the tour because if you see he

starts out the tour in a luxury jet,  buzz36.jpg (10652 bytes)    -    obviously spent all his money on that.
        
Then in the next scene he has a blue transit van buzz35.jpg (11253 bytes)

and in the final shot he is actually walking to the gig buzz28.jpg (14092 bytes)
They finally get round to answering the question and decide it couldn't be choice

C because he was wearing the five dogs  buzz31.jpg (12717 bytes).

After much deliberation they decide it must be choice A about lifting the bike for a friend.

The programme might not get their facts right but at least it was nice to see such a lovely little bit of film.
