Across the UK, across continental North America and around the world on the internet.

I webcast and my podcast, my name is Howard Hughes and this is definitely the unexplained.

Well, I hope you're feeling okay. I don't know which side of Christmas you're going to hear this,

but I hope you're about to have or you have had a really good one.

We got some bad news before Christmas. London going into tier four as they call it.

I'd have to go online and check exactly what those restrictions mean.

But effectively, I think the headline is that Christmas was cancelled here.

And that's very depressing for an awful lot of people and of course very difficult.

For a lot of families, these are difficult and challenging times for many nations,

those in Europe, North America, you know your own situation there.

But as I've always said while I've been doing these shows that my hope is in what else have we got

in human ingenuity to solve this problem for us and allow us please to live our lives again.

You know, that's my most sincere hope and I'm sure it must be yours too.

You know, let's get back normal life as soon as we are able to do so.

I think has to be the mantra. You know, I want to see the outside world, I think, a lot more than I

have done. And it would be nice to travel more than a few miles at a time, I think.

But let's leave all that behind. One of the reasons that you tell me and thank you for telling me

that you enjoy the unexplained it is for both of us, for you and for me, it's an escape.

From some of the stuff that we're enduring and a chance to consider things that are perhaps

truths that need to be explained and things that are eternal, that transcend wars and politics

and viruses and all the garbage that we have to live through, you know, some eternal truths.

One of which we may be about to talk about on this edition of the show.
