| 0:00.0 | Hello, I'm Greg Jenna and good news, Your Dead to Me is back for a new series. Here we go. Yes, we'll explore Emperor Nero's notorious reign with Professor Marybeard and Patton Oswald. I would not want my daughter having the remote control, not alone an empire. We'll dissect the decadent life of Philippe Duke-Dor-Leon with Tom Allen. I've often tried to pretend I'm an aristocrat and being very quickly knocked down. And there'll be so much more with comedians like Olga Koch, Mike Mosniak and Rihalina. I'm excited.

| 1:26.3 | More from that surgeon a little later and if you've been |
| 1:28.9 | referred following a raised PSA blood tests then I suggest you don't miss it. But first electronic |
| 1:34.6 | cigarettes and the announcement by the government that it plans to make it illegal to sell them to |
| 1:39.0 | anyone under the age of 18. Their advertising could soon be restricted too, amid fears that vaping is a gateway |
