| 0:00.0 | Hello and welcome to my time capsule. I'm Mike Fenton-Stevens, and as ever, my time-captured is the podcast where people tell me five things from their life that they wish they had in a time |
| 0:21.3 | capsule. They pick four things that they really cherish and one thing that they'd like to bury |
| 0:26.3 | and forget. My guest in this episode is Chris Cantrill. Chris is a three-time's Edinburgh |
| 0:32.7 | Comedy Award nominated comedian, writer and actor from West Yorkshire. Known for mixing quick fire gags with |
| 0:39.4 | uniquely offbeat observations about modern life, he's developed a reputation, as the Times |
| 0:44.7 | described him, as one of the most charmingly duffly funny comics on the scene right now. Since making |
| 0:51.0 | his television debut on Harry Hill's Club Night on Channel 4, |
| 0:54.6 | Chris has become a regular on television and radio. |
| 0:57.3 | He's appeared in shows such as the BAFTA winning Alma's Not Normal on BBC 2, |

| 1:25.7 | Chris and Amy have appeared on shows such as question team, Pointless, and a series |
| 1:30.5 | regulars for Late Night MASH on Dave. Chris is also the co-creator and star of BBC Radio 4's |
| 1:37.0 | breakout comedy, Icklewick FM, which the Radio Times, correctly in my opinion, called |
| 1:43.1 | one of the best comedies of 2024. |
| 1:46.2 | So that's Chris, who will be embarking on his debut solo tour at the end of 2024 into 2025. |
| 1:53.6 | Okay, well, in that case, before booking tickets, let's discover more about him and his life. |
| 1:59.3 | As he tells me the five things he'd want in a time capsule, |
