| 0:03.3 | Hi, this is Desi Jettiken. So we're back with part two of our series on Michael Hutchinson and Paula Yates. |
| 0:11.0 | This episode will be focusing on Paula. My source for this episode is her autobiography called Paula Yates, the autobiography. |
| 0:20.3 | I also watched the channel 4 documentary on her called Paula Yates, the autobiography. I also watched the channel for documentary on her called |
| 0:24.3 | Paula. This features interviews with Paula that were unreleased until the documentary came out, |

| 1:39.8 | No one knows quite what drew the pair together, but Elaine wanted to be a movie star and just had connections. |
| 1:46.8 | Unfortunately, once the pair married, just quit showbiz and bought a hotel in Wales. |
