"The 7th Hour": Interviewing Louis

S1 E105: This hour-long drama is a series of interviews undertaken by Stanley for his Music Express magazine. They take place at the peak of fame for the Louis Lester band and Louis, Jessie and Carla give us an insight into their thoughts about fame as well as their personal stories. The interviews are intercut with footage of the band playing, whilst Stanley's voiceover gives us his inner thoughts on the characters. Louis and Stanley remember the First World War, in which Louis' father fought. Louis talks about what it is like to be a black musician in London, and they discuss the band's exotic attraction to the aristocracy. Stanley then talks to Carla and Jessie, who open up about their upbringings and their feelings on becoming famous. Louis describes a chilling story about a female fan, when what started as a prank phone call became something much more sinister. She summons up a nightmare which stills preys on Louis' mind.
