0:00.0	Hello and welcome to like-minded friends with me Susie Ruffle.
0:21.7	And me, Tom Allen. Hello, everybody.
0:24.7	Tom, you're coming to us in your Noel Coward dressing gown. Is it silk?
0:28.5	It's not silk, actually, but...
0:31.0	That is a shame.
0:32.4	Thank you for comparing it to Noll Coward. I'm also sat on the floor because I left my charger for the iPad at the
0:40.0	theatre and so I had to plug into my direct USC plug socket, which is only in the bedroom.
0:47.1	Oh, I see. So I'm on the floor of the bedroom. You're on the floor of the bedroom? Oh, I thought
0:52.7	you'd just fallen down. You thought I just had a fall. No, I mean, it's quite possible, but no, on this occasion. I think the main thing we need to talk about, Tom, is the fact that this is your, I can't believe you've done six weeks of Titanic. I cannot believe it. Well, you haven't. You've done five weeks. You were in your last week. I'm in my sixth week. I cannot believe it. I know. And two weeks have rehearsed before that eight weeks. It feels like a long time ago. Yes, absolutely. Absolutely.

1:51.8	Oh, that's nice. I have felt very, yes, contented, very, very what?
1:58.0	Maud.
1:58.9	Very Maud. Very Maud.
2:00.0	As in you've been a mooring. Mord, yes, yes. Not as in a lady called Maud. I was thinking, who? Maud. Very Maud. As in you, Maud, a Mord, yes.
2:01.7	Mord, yes.
2:02.9	Not as in a lady called Maud. I was thinking, who's Maud? I was thinking. Well, you know, that's what I wanted to call Tiggie, but my daughter Vito did it. Oh, that would be a nice name for a... Maud. Maud. Maud, come Maud. She wouldn't have it.
2:15.1	Come, Maud.
2:16.3	Oh, that's Maud.
2:17.3	Coming to the garden, Mord.
2:20.2	Literally. Come on. She wouldn't have it. Come, Maud. Oh, that's Maud. Coming to the Garden Mord.
