0:25.5

I'm the Porkmeister.

You were listening to Life on Planet Porky and, of course, the other main character,

0:32.7

or the main character, I should say, within the chapters of adventures that we bring you from Planet Porky

0:38.1

is, of course, rock chick writer herself, Ms Lysa Ann Jones. You may have heard her giggling there

to me by a fine kilt maker in Scotland called McGregor and McDuff. Thank you very much indeed
