When I woke up next morning only faithful Barney was still with me. I was still comfortably rum-drunk from the night before, and extremely jolly. Barney told me Keith had made it ashore, borrowed a dinghy, and had come and taken the others back. My dinghy had been rescued by someone from the yacht club, who had very kindly tied it back on the boat, so Barney and I rowed ashore.

We arrived back at the shoot in time to find Roger sitting on a rooftop, doing deaf signing to the assembly of acolytes who believed they had to pretend to be deaf, dumb and blind if they were to follow Tommy. It was a very moving scene, shot almost entirely in silence until the sound of an autoharp glistened in the morning sunshine.

‘What beautiful music,’ I said, forgetting that I’d written it.

The contrast between Roger and me was, by this time, dramatic. He looked beautiful, tanned, healthy, alive, alert and fit. I was shattered, bleary and hung over. And, to make things worse, I knew the toughest part of my work on the Tommy movie was ahead of me, at least technically speaking.
