| 0:00.0 | Welcome to episode 7, a reminder that Paradise has strong language and some upsetting scenes. |
| 0:05.6 | BBC Sounds, music radio podcasts. |
| 0:10.6 | Hello, thanks for joining us again. This is the last episode before we take a break for |
| 0:14.8 | Easter. Episode 8 will be in two weeks time with another two episodes to go after that and |
| 0:21.1 | we snuck an extra one in there. So it feels like a good point to take a look at where we're up to so far and how we got here. A sort of previously on Paradise if you will. |
