0:06.0

Morning, everybody, welcome along to Thursday the 4th of May.

0:10.4

I don't know why, I think, it's the old gag about May the 4th be with you and all that kind of rubbish, but never mind.

0:16.7

On the programme today, oh, they're all moving out of Brentwood.

0:20.0

The stars are moving out because apparently beggars have moved in. Beggers in...

0:23.9

It's an old story, actually. Beggers being brought in by cars. They drop them off. There's one that gets dropped off on Waterloo Bridge every morning.

0:32.8

And they sit him there and he collects money for the gangs. That's what they do now. It's organised because they've suddenly realised that the Brits are so dumb they'll give money to anybody. Even

0:40.6

1:25.7

Michelle Keegan, and it's a bit difficult to try and place Mark Wright some.

1:28.6

You don't really know what to do with him. He's the one with that. He's, it's a bit of a cheesy smile.

1:33.5

It really is. It's a cheesy smile. But anyway, they a program where he's going to be a reporter.

1:48.2

But whether or not he's going to be a regular reporter, we don't know.
