Morning, everybody, welcome along to your free podcast for today. It's Tuesday.

Tuesday's a good day. We like Tuesday. It's a little bit cold outside, not as cold as yesterday when we had a little bit of frost on the car, a little bit of ice.

And Noreen had said that, I hope we don't get this bad weather. That the worst, even worse than that Noreen had said that, she said, oh, I hope we don't get this, this bad weather,

that the worse, even worse than that, Noreen, even worse, is, I was just talking to Lisa

Aziz as I came downstairs, she went, oh, she said, this illness is back. I said, oh no,

please not the illness, because once one of us gets it in the office it tends to do the rounds and you

remember the last time we had the cough we had the sniffles not too bad with the sniffles a little bit of a

runny nose but it was the cough that was the thing that was driving everybody crackers and then there was

I think it was a foregone conclusion. I think he was up against some really strong talent.

I suppose if you sit there and you know that everybody likes you, you think to yourself, well, secretly, I think I'm going to win. But nothing is cast in stone, is it nowadays? And so he might not have won, but he did. And that's why everybody was absolutely delighted. People were really thrilled. He was very happy and he bounced around.

I don't know, will he stay in this country? Will he go and live in America? How many offers?

I reckon there's going to be at least 10 film scripts. He doesn't need to worry about work for a few

years. He really won't. And his agent can probably get some good fees. He will probably have to do

some really awful films to get

the money and you'll do some awful films to get a good film. That's how it generally works
