| 0:00.0 | Nothing beats a Jet 2 holiday and right now you can save up to 50 pounds per person. |
| 0:07.0 | That's up to £100 per couple. Plus get an extra £100 off per booking with My Jet 2. |
| 0:13.0 | We're always giving you more with flexible durations and 22 kilograms of baggage included. |
| 0:19.0 | Book now from London Luton Airport. Jet 2 holidays. Package |
| 0:23.3 | holidays you can trust. After National Protected, subject to availability in missions. |
| 0:29.8 | Three minutes after 10 is the time. I might be nearly 50, but I still have a little chuckle to |
| 0:35.1 | myself when I opened the show by announcing that today we're |
