2006 and it is the inaugural Breakfast with Bo the Boe the Bo Show. So welcome, welcome aboard. If you're here watching this live or indeed later today, then you're part of a glorious band, the chosen few, to be here from the beginning for something. It's probably going to be pretty special,

0:39.4

isn't it? Let's be honest. I'm joined by my producer, Harry. Say hello, Harry. Good morning. That's

0:47.1

little Harry. And he's not very little. He's like six foot, six one. How tall you, Harry?

5.11, I think. Oh, is it? Oh, well, still, not that little. Not little. He's like six foot, six one. How tall you, Harry? Oh, is it? Oh, well, still, not that little, not little. But little compared to the other Harry in the office, Harry Robinson, who is a giant, let's be honest. So poor little Harry,
