| 0:00.0 | BBC Sounds, music radio podcasts. |
| 0:04.7 | Alex, hello. |
| 0:05.7 | Hi. |
| 0:06.7 | In the absence of us speaking, because we haven't actually spoken for a couple of days, |
| 0:10.6 | no, it's been a while. |
| 0:11.6 | I've come up with a new newscast trademark gimmick. Would you like to hear it? I would love to. So I had this phrase in my head |
| 0:18.0 | rattling around in there. It's pretty empty. Newsscast of thousands. Oh, what does that mean? |
| 0:24.0 | Well, I didn't know what it meant. |
| 0:25.0 | And so then I thought, right, I need to just come up with what this actual format is. |
| 0:29.0 | And so what I've come up with is, we want to get to the number 1,000, but we get there by people sending in either news stories |
| 0:38.2 | that they've seen or things that are happening in their lives that have a number attached that we can then investigate and bit by bit |
| 0:47.0 | we'll add them all together to get to the number a thousand. |
| 0:49.6 | Wow I love it so like I've just had triplets that's three exactly although if we |
| 0:54.6 | go for the single digits we'll be doing this gimmick for a good number of years okay |
| 0:59.1 | that's a great idea but that's a classic example and then if you've got an interesting story about your triplets or whatever or maybe you've had eight children |
| 1:07.3 | Because that would help us to get to a thousand quicker and that would be a real great news |
| 1:13.0 | cast at BBC.co. UK or they can WhatsApp us on 0.330.1239480.9480 |
| 1:20.0 | and we will investigate the numbers and add them to the newscaster of a |
| 1:24.8 | thousand's totalizer. That's brilliant and what happens when you get to the |
| 1:27.6 | thousand? We'll cross that bridge if we get to it. That's a great idea I love it. |
| 1:32.4 | But I thought we could kick off today with our first |
| 1:35.0 | number which is six Tory leadership candidates. Excellent start. Let's do it. |
