This is reasons to be cheerful with Ed Millivand and Jeff Lloyd.

Well hello. Hello, Happy publication day.

Oh, thank you and actually we're recording on publication day, aren't we?

We are. I sent you what I thought was a really great selection of emojis to mark the occasion.

It actually, it actually dinged in the middle of my interview with Adrian Childs on Five Live.

I hadn't switched off my ding, but I was very appreciative of it.

I also wanted to congratulate you on such a wonderful book launch party last night.

Err, it was all virtual, of course.

What were your highlights?

I mean, there was that bit with you and that tricky perform with an orange.

Yes, yes. And it's a good thing it was virtual.

You usually need a special license to perform that in a public venue.

Err, I got stuck in the queue for the virtual buffet behind Ed Balls.

Well, and I was so impressed. That man knows how to fill a plate.

I know it's remarkable, isn't it?

And I think that moment was only eclipsed by the site of the old band back together.

You, Cameron, Clegg, putting your differences aside to celebrate your book launch.

We've been quite restrictive about the photos on it, so I'm grateful to you for not having tweeted about,

tweeted out. Yeah, well, you know me, I'm discreet. And the same goes for the video I took

of the three of you singing that Destiny's Child song.

The play has quite the falsetto, doesn't it?

Hmm. Who knew?
