Texas brought in Dallas Austin to write "In Demand" with Johnny McElhone and Sharleen Spiteri, and he produced it too, a glossy launch for The Greatest Hits in the autumn of 2000. The Scottish band put it out in Europe on 25 September and in Britain a week later on Mercury, and it reached number six at home and number 10 in Spain.
The video is a little film of its own: Alan Rickman, suited and solicitous, riding through the night beside a parka-wrapped Spiteri in the back of a chauffeured Bentley Azure while helicopters and motorbikes chase them for pictures. When the car stops for petrol, he peels off her parka to reveal an evening dress, and the two tango across the forecourt, a scene shot at a Shell station in Bordon, Hampshire.
