| 0:00.0 | Hello and welcome to my time capsule. My name's Mike Fenton-Stevens. And my time capsule is the podcast where people tell me five things from their life they wish they had in a time capsule. |
| 0:21.4 | They pick four things that they really love and one thing they'd like to forget, something |
| 0:26.1 | they want to bury in the ground and never think of again. My guest in this episode is the actor |
| 0:31.0 | and forever in many people's minds, Hobbit, Billy Boyd. Now this is one of our special releases |
| 0:37.1 | of an episode we put out some time |
| 0:39.2 | ago that on re-listing, we discovered should have been released in its entirety, unedited, |
| 0:45.1 | as Billy was such a delightful and natural guest that we can't remember now while we cut |
| 0:49.6 | anything out at all. Maybe a feeling that it was a bit too long. A daft idea really, because if something's |

Yep, nice work if you can get it. But if anyone deserves it, it's Billy Boyd, one of the nicest men on the planet. |
| 1:28.4 | As you're discovered now, as he reveals the five things he choose to have in his time capsule. |
| 1:36.9 | Are you there? |
| 1:38.8 | Hello, hello? |
| 1:39.8 | Hello, hello. |
| 1:41.3 | Oh, sorry about that, Michael. |
| 1:43.1 | That's all right, my lovely man. |
| 1:44.6 | How lovely to hear you. |
| 1:46.0 | Are you all right? |
| 1:47.1 | Yeah, not bad. |
| 1:48.1 | I've got an old computer that I really need to get a new one. |
| 1:54.2 | And it's honestly taking 25 minutes for it to switch itself on now. |
