| 0:00.0 | Greetings, lovely people. This is the offer with Jane and Fee Friday Feed, where we put in a little bit extra, something from the show which is on air every day on Times Radio between two and four. |
| 0:21.0 | And this week we really wanted to give you something a bit sunshiny |
| 0:24.7 | because it is gloomy out there, isn't it? |
| 0:27.9 | Not just in terms of the weather, but in terms of what's happening in the world. |

| 1:35.4 | Reni Zellweger and Leo Woodle are a match made in cinematic heaven for some |
| 1:39.8 | and a sicky burp of confected romance for others. |
| 1:44.2 | Lizzie Franier cannot escape the Bridget Jones fever |
