My apologies for that, but I thought you'd want to hear the beginnings at least of that speech.

Theo Usher would no doubt providing expert analysis of what, if anything, has changed

when Sheila Fogarty assumes the position behind this microphone shortly after

1 o'clock. Before that, let's solve some mysteries. You know how it works. Phone lines are open. They've gone a bit nuts lately, my phone lines. I've got to be honest with you, but from Thursdays 12 to 1, they always go a little bit crazy. So give us a call. 345-6060973 if you know how this feature works. If you don't bear with me for just a moment,

and I shall fill you in Toot sweet, there is almost certainly somewhere in the back of your brain a question

that desperately, desperately desires an answer. This is where you might get it.

So give us a ring, ask me, why do we do this? Who's that, where, when, wherefore, whither, when, whatever it may be, and then hopefully somebody else listening. It sounds rubbish every single week, this. By far the most popular feature on the radio station, by far the most popular podcast that we published, by far the most fun I have at work ever. And that includes being a drunk gossip columnist. And yet when I try to explain it, people come up to me sometimes and say, I love Mystery Hour, but how do you explain to people what it is? Because I tried to tell my girlfriend why I loved it so much. You just have to listen to it. I don't know why it works. It's a little bit daft, really, but you know those newspaper columns where you write in and ask a question and then other readers write in and provide an answer, and it's quite dry sometimes and a little bit anoraki. It started off as the radio equivalent of that and then it just sort of took on a life of its own. The first thing we need is calls. Okay, so James, why do we do that? Or what is the reason for this? Or where does that come from? Or when

that happens, why does that happen? Who? Why? What, where? When? Whither? Whence? And even the occasional wherefore. And then, if you hear somebody else asking a question to which you know the answer, ring in and provide it. Don't be dull. Don't be boring. Never be boring. Never ever be boring. Please, never be boring. How do you know whether you're being boring? well two two ways. Number one, if you're thinking of asking a question to which it's perfectly plausible, only you will be interested in the answer. It's going to have to be a humdinger of a question not to be boring for everybody else. Number two, if it's about motoring. If it's about motoring, it's almost certainly too dull for my tastes. And unfortunately, the management's decision is final.

The only other rule, or criteria for exclusion, is repetition.

So if you ask a question that's already been asked, you probably won't get on the board.

Now, the problem with that rule is that the personnel on the team has changed a little since Mystery Hour started, and I'm now the longest serving member of Mystery Hour staff, and my memory, increasingly as I get older, resemble Swiss cheese. So it's up to me to remember. That does open the door to the possibility of you ringing in with an answer, and me asking you what your qualifications are, and you saying, oh, I heard it on Mystery Hour last week, you doofus. And that is the risk I take every week. And it's the risk I'm taking now. I think that's it, isn't it? Should we start? David is in LIS. We had David in Diss yesterday and today we've got David in Liss. Tomorrow we'll have David who's a miss. Oh, thanks for laughing. I don't think it deserved to chuckle that, actually, once it reached, once it reached the ether.

What, what's a miss? Oh, thanks for laughing. I don't think it deserved to chuckle that, actually.

What's it reached, what's it reached the ether?

What's your question or answer, David?
