Okay, folks, you are listening to the latest chapter of life on planet Porky.

0:28.4

Thank you very much indeed for joining us, myself and of course, Ms. Leslie Ann Jones.

0:32.7

I think the first thing we've got to talk to our audience about on this one, Leslie Ann, is the fact that we've come back to re-record the start because we got grounded on the launch pad.

0:44.8

I mean, Leslie Ann, what did you do?

0:47.3

I'm not sure, really.

0:48.5

Thanks very much to our producer, Sam, who always manages to pull it out of the bag at the last minute.

0:53.9

But I think, you know, some of it out of the bag at the last minute.

0:58.7

Life on Planet Porky will now unfold in front of you. Yeah very good. I don't think it's

anything to do with your mug by the way because we're used to seeing that on television.

1:56.7

You know, we all steal ourselves before you come on screen, Mike. We know what we're. We know what we're dealing with. It's true. Talking about that, by the way,

2:04.2
