When Louis Met... The Hamiltons2001

[Christine has just been out to be photographed by the press gathered outside their house]

Louis Theroux:
Was that all right?

Christine Hamilton:
No, I think that was probably a disaster. That is the last thing they should have got, although I suppose that's probably what they want, me in tears. I mean, I don't know, is that a good idea? I can't do anything right, I get criticised if I go out there...

Louis Theroux:
Sometimes vulnerability is good, isn't it? Sometimes you want a bit of vulnerability, do you not?

Christine Hamilton:
Well, I can't win, can I? I mean, we're accused of summoning all those people to the end of the drive, we're accused of creating a media circus, we're accused of...

Louis Theroux:
You know what you have to watch out for, cos I noticed this as well, it's like - the cameramen swinging round and shooting the other cameramen, and then you hear in your head "The media circus continues." I mean, you think they can't be all there covering each other and saying the other ones are the circus and they're not. But then, I suppose, in a way that's what we're doing. Are we part of the circus or... It's a circus that feeds on itself, is it? I don't know.

Christine Hamilton:
You know, it's perfectly reasonable, the press want today's picture, they don't want yesterday's picture. This is what Granny can't understand, "Oh, for goodness sake, they've got millions of pictures of you" Yes Granny, but, you know, not today's picture.
