Interview take one.
00:01
Hi, where are the Wiggles?
00:08
They're like the Beatles for toddlers.
00:11
These tickets were harder than the stones and spring.
00:14
There's a reason for the colours.
00:17
There needs to be a psychology of why this hits.
00:20
We met at university doing a course in early childhood.
00:25
This connection with music and teaching is what became the Wiggles.
00:30
Booking agents said, "What am I going to do with four men and a dinosaur?"
00:33
Producers said, "Your videos make us cringe."
00:36
Oh, no! He's asleep!
00:38
I remember saying, "Let's just try it anyway."
00:41
All of a sudden, we were doing 10,000-seat arenas.
00:44
It was just...
00:45
Three more tomorrow.
00:48
We'll get there.
00:50
People didn't really talk about mental health much in the '90s.
00:54
If you're successful, what have you got to be sad about?
00:56
But it was as bad as it could be.
00:59
It's horrible to see your mates get affected like that.
01:02
Greg Page is suffering a mystery illness.
01:04
It means that my body doesn't pump enough blood around.
01:07
Now I'm going to hand over the yellow skivvy
01:10
to the new yellow Wiggle, Sam Moran.
01:12
It doesn't matter who's wearing the skivvy,
01:16
as long as we reflect our audience
01:18
and they're communicating with children.
01:20
We might be responsible for their first experience of music.
01:25
Can you sing and do the actions with us?
01:27
Yes.
01:28
-Love from here. -Love from here.
01:35
I so love you guys.
01:37
If you can't bring any sort of happy memory,
01:40
I'm really privileged to be able to do that.
01:42
This is my childhood computer.
01:44
Get ready to wiggle!
01:45
Come on!
01:47
Childhood is never history. Childhood is always with us.
01:50
CHILDHOOD IS ALWAYS WITH US
