Hey everyone, welcome to this week's episode of Fish. We hope you're well, we hope you're safe, and we hope you're not going outside.

0:06.3

This week's episode is actually our first work from home episode. We're all in different locations, and he actually is so far away that he actually didn't make it onto the show at all.

So Alex Bell is joining us for this one, but Andy will be back next week.

0:21.0

He will be back next week. He will. He can't wait.

0:24.8

Alright, mate, not yet.

0:27.1

But we, um, yeah, so this will be our first episode, but we thought in order to help distract you to stop your mind from going crazy, we re-uploaded 52 episodes that were taken off a few years back.

It's our second complete year of fish, and you can listen to them wherever you get your podcasts from.

1:58.2

Is that like the knowledge for taxi drivers?

2:00.8

It was exactly that, yes. And then a lot of it got automated and I put a lot of the old school taxi driver slash memorises out of business.

2:09.0

Does that mean if you're like me and you can't recognize people's faces, you can't be a policeman?

2:17.9

So I was reading the pickwik papers at the moment and there's a scene where spoiler alert, Mr. Pickwik goes to a debtors prison.

2:25.1

And then suddenly the scene came up, which was Mr. Pickwik sits for his portrait and described him being sat down and a policeman saying,
