| 0:00.0 | S.O. wants to help you use your car a little less by hoping on your bike a little more, |
| 0:04.5 | especially for those shorter trips, like the popping out for a pint of milk trip, |
| 0:09.8 | or the off-to-pick up the kids' trip, or even the Friday night chippy trip. |
| 0:16.0 | And to make the swap easier, every day S.O. is giving away an e-bike and 10,000 |
| 0:20.5 | nectar points that you could spend on cycling gear. Could you do a journey differently? |

| 0:30.0 | This is the Friends of History Debating Society, I'm John Bachelors. The name of the controversial |

| 1:52.4 | Donnie Yen is a supporter of Xi Jinping and he's presenting at the Oscars. And that's a decision |
| 2:00.6 | by the Academy. What is it that they want us to learn from this? Good evening to you. |
| 2:06.0 | I'm good evening to you, John. Well first, sadly I must correct you. Our current secretary of energy, |
