In another departure from past form, Harrison undertook promotion for his new album in Britain. One of these activities, broadcast on 6 September, was his track-by-track discussion with Paul Gambaccini on the BBC Radio 1 show "Rockweek". The same day, "Melody Maker" published an interview with Harrison, the magazine's cover declaring: "George Bounces Back!" Although he later admitted to being "in a real down place" while making the album, the "Melody Maker" interview found Harrison in good humour, pointing the way to a return in form the following year; "I'd rather be an ex-Beatle than an ex-Nazi!" he joked, referring to his recent uneasy experience with the musical "John, Paul, George, Ringo … and Bert". Harrison's other activities in late 1975 likewise centred on comedy, beginning with his production of Monty Python's single "The Lumberjack Song", released in November, and including a humorous star turn, again with Eric Idle, on "Rutland Weekend Television"s Christmas special.
