Hello, so Newscast is doing this feature during the election called Remote Voter,

where we find out why people are not at home on the 4th of July,

and so they've had to apply for a postal vote.

I'm kind of doing that in real life because we're doing this episode of Newscast,

not in the Newscast studio, but in this amazing venue, which is in Glasgow,

and it's where Newsnight is going to come from live on Friday night, which means it's hosted

by Kirsty Warwick. And isn't it magnificent? Lovely. I mean, this is the original fruit market

of Glasgow, 1841. And this is where you come to gigs? I've been here ever since.

No, but you come to gigs here, don't you? Yeah, the last gig was the Staves. That was a while

ago. But I've been to weddings in here. I've been, you know, everything. You've played the violin in here.

Not actually in here, but in the other venue next door. It was where we had all our school concerts.

Did you sing? It's actually quite nostalgic for me. I did sing. Like we'd have our Christmas

Carol concert in there. It is an incredible venue from the sort of the early era of news night really.

It's not nice to be reminded of that period really. Yeah, but look, we've got branding everywhere

now. I know, well at least it's the right, it's the right letter. Like we start with the same letter.

We're so American, aren't we?

Do you ever get confused for newscast?

Well, as far as I know, I don't have a mustache.

Anyway, so I talked about our feature,

Remoter Voter. Would you like to play today's Remoter Voter?

Shall I go first?
