Narrator:"in 1966, the Rutles faced the biggest threat to their careers. nasty in a widely quoted interview had apparently claimed that the Rutles were bigger than God; ⋯and was reported to have gone on to say that God had never had a hit record. the story spread like wildfire in America: Many fans burnt their albums; Many more burnt their fingers attempting to burn their albums. Album sales skyrocketed; People were buying them just to burn them. ⋯but in fact it was all a ghastly mistake."
[⋯]:"Nasty, talking to a slightly deaf journalist, had claimed only that the Rutles were bigger than Rod. Rod Stewart would not be big for another 8 years, and certainly at this stage hadn't had a hit. at a press conference, Nasty apologised to God, Rod and the Press, and the tour went ahead as planned; It would be the Rutles' last."
