| 0:00.0 | Would you rather be Lord of the Flies or Lord of the Rings? |
| 0:05.2 | Has to be this, Has to be this. |
| 0:08.1 | Where on a buffalo do they find the wings? |
| 0:11.4 | Has to be this. Helen and lonely, us to be this. |
| 0:17.7 | So, Helen, you know how just a few episodes ago we were mourning the death of our phone line |
| 0:22.2 | following the brutal death of Skype at the hands of Microsoft? |
| 0:25.4 | Never forget. |
| 0:26.6 | Well, Adam, head of operations at socialcoms.uk, has sent us the following email. |
| 0:33.8 | Hello, Helen Olli and Martin. I was listening to the podcast and heard about the number being discontinued, which is a real shame. |
| 0:39.9 | Thank you for your sympathy, Adam. |
| 0:41.3 | Then I realised I own a telecoms company. |
| 0:44.4 | You hadn't realised that before? |
| 0:45.7 | And could probably save the number for you. |

Yeah, oh it was the only time he tried to make himself look fit for a film, wasn't it? I haven't seen his full filmography. No one's fantasy, is it, Kenneth Branagh? And I don't mean that in any disrespect. |
| 1:28.4 | I just, he's not that kind of star, is he? He's an actor's actor. Look, you're going to hear from all the Brannaniacs. I was wondering what the collective noun was. Braniacs? Sure. It's sort of easiest to be the fittest thing in that film because, you know, the other two stars are made up to look like their piece together from old corpses. |
| 1:28.4 | Look. Sure. It's sort of easiest to be the fittest thing in that film because, you know, the other two stars are made up to look like their piece together from old corpses. Look, Helena Bonham Carter is so fit in this film that Kenneth Brunner blew up his marriage to Emma Thompson. There was something going on, wasn't there?
