Summary

*This is part 2 of Jan Ravens’ episode. Though you are free to listen in whichever order you so desire we really do recommend listening to part 1 first or things might be slightly confusing*

There’s something very peculiar going on at The Moon Under Water, because as our next guest approaches we’re still not quite sure who it is. We can’t see their face through the mists, but it sounds like it might be Hyacinth Bucket? Wait no, now it sounds like Hillary Clinton? And now it sounds like Theresa May - what the hell is going on?!

Ah, now it makes sense. As they step out of the mist and through the doors of everyone’s favourite mystical alehouse our guest this week reveals themselves… it’s impressionist and actress Jan Ravens!

Throughout her career Jan has appeared in a wide range of shows, including Dead Ringers, Have I Got News For You, Spitting Image and even Strictly Come Dancing. She’s also been lucky enough to appear in a wide range of pubs, having grown up on The Wirral, studied in Cambridge and worked up and down the country. Let’s hope she really goes into detail about her dream pub, and doesn’t just give us an impression of it.

0:00.0	I'm Welcome back, everyone to the moon underwater. We have Jan Ravens here,
0:32.1	Impressionist extraordinaire. Her pub is taking shape right before our eyes.
0:37.9	It has configurations, which I love, and there are booths dotted within and without those configurations.
0:45.6	London Lager, meantime, Doom Bar on Draft, cans of Punk A.F by Brewdog Dog and bottles of white burgundy.
0:56.5	Mmm, smooth.
0:59.4	But you join us on some oh so tenter hooks as we wait for the results of the Moon
1:08.3	Underwater Pub quiz.
1:09.7	And Robin, I think it might be worth reminding of the
1:12.1	questions before the answers for those joining us, perhaps after a toilet trip or asleep.
1:17.7	Sure, sure. Thanks, John. Well, speaking of Greenwich Mean Time, my quiz this week was all about time.
1:25.3	So the first question was, what was notable about the leap year in the year
1:30.8	2000. Jan, what you're saying? Well, the only thing that I can think of is, is it when you know
1:37.3	how leap years, no, actually, I don't know. I was going to say, is it when the kind of the
1:41.7	leap got completed, but of course it was, you know,
1:45.1	because it's like a quarter of a, a quarter of a day.
1:48.8	You're on the right path there, I would say, John, have you got any, anything to add?
1:53.3	Well, I think if Jan's on the right path, I'm on the wrong path.
1:56.2	I was going to say, was the date of the leap year like a palindrome?
2:00.8	Oh, that's a nice answer. Because it would be
2:03.3	2002, because February, I wondered if it was one of those sort of man... Right. Okay, yeah, one of those
2:12.4	weird palindromic things. No, the answer is, so it's, so the year 2000 was notable because it was a leap year.
2:19.1	Every year that is exactly divisible by four is a leap year, except for years that are exactly
