Summary

"As we head into tea time here at The Moon Under Water it's safe to say that John and Robin have formed a formidable partnership - John is currently on 78 not out (that's peanuts, not runs) and Robin the nightwatchman has steadied the ship by producing a lovely innings of 56, featuring a total of four boundaries and six yards of ale".

No doubt any cricket fans amongst you would have read the above in the voice of someone very special. We're joined by true broadcasting royalty in The Moon Under Water this week, as making their way into the Correct Realm is the one and only Elly Oldroyd!

Elly will be familiar to many of you as one of the voices of Test Match Special. She also soundtracks many of our weekends as one of the presenters of Weekend Breakfast on 5 Live. Although Landlord John could lay claim to having the best job around, Elly's can't be far off: she travels the world, watches cricket... and gets to enjoy some of the best pubs on offer. Her dream pub is about to come to life, so dive in.

0:31.3	See its forked tongues wag, its burnished mouth open in the moon underwater.
0:39.3	Music Oh, Robin, look out of the port hall. Oh, Robin, look out of the porthole.
1:13.5	Ooh, go on. Yes, I'm looking.
1:15.3	Yeah, it's very much a porthole feel in the front door of the moon underwater.
1:20.6	Yeah, I can just see another porthole.
1:23.2	Oh, okay, look through that one as well?
1:24.8	Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, got it sure.

1:34.6	It's that specific type of bright light that you see when it's very, very dark.
1:40.3	And you think, what on earth is that light?
1:43.1	There's no big light near me. Right. And it always
1:46.1	turns out to be a sports stadium. Oh yes. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. It's a very specific type of bright
1:52.0	white light that just shines up. And you think, well, either it's the second coming or it's the
1:58.9	local football club. Yeah. They've just had some new lights installed and it's 50-50, which it is.
