by two colleagues. Yes, two colleagues were back to normal of such lethal cunning. First

up is our geek queen, a lady who is, I imagine quite excited about a new comer on the London

theatre scene. I am, of course, talking about Glenn Garry-Glan Ross starring Christian

1:06.3

Slater and Chris Marshall out of my family in the role made famous in the film by Kevin

by an actor by Christopher Plummer. Hey, Helen, you excited about that? Super excited, Chris,

1:18.0

that's definitely the most exciting thing happening on the London stage this week. There's

1:22.4

no doubt about it. Tickets are just 15 pounds thanks to an offer and time, thanks to an

offer in a rival magazine. And I might take a time out later on and take a vantage

lead offer and go along for 15 quid per seat. Is there anything else that's happening

just got a stop. She's talking about cats, right? Oh, good Lord, no.

1:49.2

Local cats, genical cats, what a load of shit. If you just, excuse me a second, James,
