| 0:00.0 | So, Jill and Alex, thank you so much for joining us today in the calm, quiet corner of the |
| 0:10.4 | fully charged live show. It's been quite exhausting, I think. Have you been here the whole |
| 0:14.7 | time? I know that. Yeah, I've been here since Thursday afternoon for |
| 0:18.2 | set up, Robert. Right. And I actually feel like I just live here now. I'm feeling very settled |
| 0:23.2 | in. This is your house. Yeah. And Alex, have you arrived today with you been here? |
| 0:27.8 | I came here today this morning, so I've been having a good look around and |
| 0:31.9 | choosing my next TV, which has been really exciting, but I hear from Jill and all the team |
