| 0:00.0 | Hello, Gary Lenika here. We've got no Wednesday football podcast this week. That's because |
| 0:11.4 | we produced a tribute show to Terry Venable's on Monday. And our regular review of the |
| 0:16.8 | week went out yesterday. So do catch up on those if you're looking for your regular |
| 0:23.3 | football fix. But I also wanted to tell you about our sister podcast, which launched this week |
| 0:30.7 | called The Rest Is Entertainment. It's hosted by two of my favourite people, the brilliantly |
| 0:37.8 | witty Marina Hyde, and one of the cleverest and funniest people in show business, Richard Osman. |
| 0:44.6 | Each week they'll be talking about the latest telly films, books, celebrity gossip, |
| 0:50.0 | and all things entertainment. It's going to be brilliant. Here's a taster of the first episode. |
| 0:56.8 | Nigel in the jungle. Okay, so first of all, I'm a celebrity has been so long ITV's biggest show, |
| 1:04.0 | I think. And it's still, it's the biggest show of the year, actually, ratings wise. It is the |
| 1:08.6 | biggest show of the year already. And Nigel Farage is, I think, their most expensive contestant ever |

| 1:22.4 | done is he's got people to watch the show who perhaps might not otherwise watch it or it's one of |
| 1:27.2 | those slight marmalade droppers when you hear it and people think I'm going to tune in. And then I |
| 1:31.1 | guess you hope that they get caught up in the stories and the other contestants and whatever, |
| 1:34.0 | because by the way, I don't think he's a fantastic contestant, but we can come onto that in a bit. |
| 1:37.8 | Well, there's two things. They don't like Nigel Farage being given £1.5 million. But I don't think |
| 1:42.4 | anyone likes anyone being given £1.5 million. Even your best friend said someone's just |
| 1:46.5 | giving me £1.5 million. And you go, ah, no, that's annoying. And then the question of should he be |
| 1:51.7 | in there? And is he going to use it in some way to leverage that sort of attention to further his |
| 1:57.6 | ends? I think this, I think that I'm a select by and large never does contestants much good |
| 2:04.0 | if they're not particularly likable. And he's not particularly likable. I think what he thought |
