- I f***ing hate you.

- And did I f*** her?

- Yeah.

Yeah, I f***ed her.

Legend has it that Frank's problems

started undramatically.

It was the simplest thing

that kicked it off.

It was years and years of noise

was the basis of the problem.

But the very beginnings of it,

in his life, started very plainly.

Frankie's problem was quite

a common problem amongst DJ's...

...an occupational hazard.

They work in the clubs.

The noise just takes its toll.

Someone like Frankie,

having a problem like that, I thought:

"This geezer's gonna go.

He's gonna lose it."

And he did lose it.

I watched him lose it,

slowly but surely.

F***ing come on, then!

I think we could have the Spanish

look, I like this color for the water.

Perhaps maybe that one, Japanese.

Frankie. Morning, honey.

Oh, Frankie!

Come here.

I want to ask you something.

- Morning.

- Morning, sweet...

You all right?

If we go for the Spanish look...

It's for the garden.

- A bit of both.

- Okay. Little bit of both.

- We can do that, can't we?

- Yeah.

F***! F***ing hell!

You all right?

His hearing was f***ed.

But he tried to keep working

and plow through.

You know,

put the horse blinkers on.

Ignore the problem, and it'll go away.

You know, always works for me.

Can you tell us what's happening

with the new album?

Have I got a spot? Have I...?

- No.

- It's fine.

You're perfect. You're perfect.

Your fans are curious about

the new album. They have to know.

It's good. It's going really well.

It's going really well.

Been bending the sound, sort of.

I've been forging it.

With a lyrical smelter.

Yeah.

- Not as beautiful as you.

- Thank you.

And I got these two...

...like, Austrian mates...

...who are stoking the fires.

Everybody should have

at least two Austrian mates.

Everybody should have

at least two.

When can we expect

the new album to come out?

- Soon.

- Soon?

Ish.

Can I have a word?

Can I have a word?

Yeah. It's good?

I took a call just before,

a couple of hours ago.

I forgot to mention it, but I need to...

I need to...

The album people,

they want the lyrics for the sleeve.

I just need you to write them down.

We can pop them off.

Get them off and we don't have

to worry about it.

No, no, we never write them down.

That's it.

What else did you sing after that?

Frankie.

Frank.

Frank!

What?

Have you got a condom?

- Have you got a condom?

- No, I'm not gonna f*** her.

I'm knackered.

I'm just gonna have a nosh.

Frankie! Frankie! Frankie!

Well, denial is a river in Frank,

and it runs deep.

And his sets

were shambolic on times.

Clearly, could only be the work

of a man who couldn't hear.

It wasn't pretty, but, you know,
