Hi folks, happy Easter. Can I also say I should have put it in the last episode ahead of the big day,

but a very belated birthday, not a very, but slightly belated birthday, to the captain of the ship,

Mr Ben Backhouse, who has been with me from the very, very start of soundtracking, who makes it sound amazing. Ben, I am forever grateful for

0:23.7

your support, your friendship and your commitment to soundtracking. I would not have been able to

0:29.1

do this without you. And I hope you had a very happy birthday. But listen, let's go on to this

0:34.3

week's episode because it's a welcome return to soundtrack and to the wonderful David McKenzie.

your attention

and gets you right into the heart of the character and the story in the world and fuses a
