Now it's time to thank our partner of this episode, National Grid Electricity Distribution.

Michael, what's the first thing you do when the lights go out?

Pray for eight hours unbroken sleep, just for once in my life.

No, I mean during a power cut.

Oh, usually I give it 30 seconds and then say out loud, Hillary, there's been a power cut. Oh, usually I give it 30 seconds and then say out loud, Hillary, there's been a power cut.

Well, as helpful as that is, National Grid Electricity Distribution are on a mission to help us.

And especially you, Michael Whitehall, get power cut prepared. So start by keeping some torches and spare batteries to hand in case the power cut happens when it's dark.

Right.

And leave at least one light switched on in the house so that you know when the electricity comes back.

Smart thinking.

But also think community and take time to check on anyone vulnerable

like the elderly, disabled,

or anyone who relies on electricity

for medical equipment

to make sure that they're coping okay.

Wise words.

Stay one step ahead

and be power cut prepared this winter

by searching National Grid, Don't Hang About.

Now time to thank our partner of this episode, booking.com.

Michael?

Yes, Hilary.
