| 0:05.6 | Hello, just arriving at work at Broadcasting House, BBC HQ. I am a total sweaty mess. |
| 0:12.0 | Not only is it really, really hot, but the underground line I wanted to get was suspended, |
| 0:17.1 | so I had to basically run through multiple stations to get here. I cannot wait to go inside |
| 0:22.2 | and chill out in the aircon. Although normally I'd go up to the fourth floor to the newscast |
| 0:27.2 | studio today in a change to my routine, I'm going to go downstairs to check out this new |
| 0:32.9 | studio for the TV bulletins that everyone's going on about. |
| 0:38.7 | Right, here we are. Yeah. You know they normally say things are smaller in real life than they |

| 1:28.8 | these catwalks, you know, when there's just a suggestion that we can walk up and down |
| 1:34.2 | in front of a big screen and just show off what we've got. How big is that screen? That |
| 1:38.9 | screen is more than double compared to what we've been using before. So that means that |
| 1:44.9 | we have to more than double wave our arms. We have to more than double jump from one side |
| 1:49.2 | to the other. So yeah, this is really exciting. I really love it. And you know what's really |
