| 0:00.0 | This is LBC from Global, leading Britain's conversation, Mystery Hour with James O'Brien. |
| 0:10.4 | What a strange day, hey? Sadiq Khan in the first hour, Kirstarmer in the second hour, |
| 0:15.9 | I feel that you haven't had enough of me. And now it's Mystery Hour, which, you know, |
