| 0:00.0 | Hi folks. How you doing? I know I say this every year round this time, but it's beginning to look a lot like Christmas. |
| 0:08.6 | We've just watched Elf, Polar Express, had some friends round for Sunday roast, crackers and all. It was |
| 0:15.6 | lovely. I hope you're well, wherever you are in the world world and that you are able to even look forward |
| 0:22.2 | to taking a minute for yourself over the festive period. |
| 0:24.5 | I know it can be so stressful as well, so much going on. |
| 0:27.3 | But I hope if you're choosing to listen to this episode and future episodes that we have |

| 1:18.4 | the area. So this is a six-part series that is up on Sky and Now TV at the minute. It's a really |
| 1:24.7 | brilliant show that kind of doesn't hold back. If you've read the book, |
| 1:28.7 | you know what to expect, but it's definitely been given its own flavour thanks to Pete Jackson |
| 1:34.8 | who wrote the screenplay. And what's been wonderful, if you are in any way following what I do |
