      [first lines]

      [Rob, Sally, and Buddy escape into a rehearsal room, while being pursued by a mob of screaming teenaged girls]

      Rob Petrie: [successfully diverting the throng by yelling] The Redcoats have gone backstage!

      [the girls run off]

      Buddy Sorrell: Oh boy!

      Rob Petrie: Do you think the Redcoat craze is just a publicity stunt?

      Buddy Sorrell: I haven't heard screaming like this since I told my wife my mother was comin' for a visit.

    British Invasion ~ TV Shows
    Fun episode that captures the hysterical nature of 'Beatlemania' as well as the crazed teenagers of that time. This episode is a great time capsule of what it was like then with girls going crazy to obtain things like pillows that may have been used by their idols.

    The episode shows the reality of what TV shows had to go through in providing security for these musical acts which crowds would go bonkers over. I really like part when Laura says to Rob that she just wants to tell someone that the Redcoats are staying at their house. Think of yourself if the Beatles were staying at your house, but you couldn't tell anyone.
