Mummy, Chumpy and me went to Epsom for our passport photos. The photographer made me put my hands on my lap and I wasn’t allowed to smile. My fringe was yucky because of the rain and I looked horribly prim. I wish Chump wouldn’t fuss so much about her appearance at her age - she put on a little lipstick and she’s eleven.

Saw two very mini mini-skirts in Epsom. Mine compared simply are not mini anymore. What I really want is a mod suit (like Chumpy's), with a long flared jacket.

The Monkees was terribly good. Woolhat is so American – he says things like “it was a real drag” or “it was a real groove”. He is so funny! They were all waiting for these two men to kidnap them for publicity reasons and he said, “if there’s one thing I hate, it’s late kidnapping”.

Then saw The Late Show: John Bird’s marvellous at taking off Harold Wilson.

In China the peasants are revolting against Mao Tse Tung. A good sign.

Air Date March 27, 1967 Hired by a telephone answering service, the Monkees are soon plunged into mix-ups, hang-ups and crossed wires leading to pursuit by a crooked bettor (Milton Frome). Songs: "Look Out (Here Comes Tomorrow)"
