| 0:27.7 | My belly is quite gurgly today, so you might hear it in the background for my little intro and my |
| 0:32.5 | outro. Actually, do you know what? I'm not going to bother with an outro because, oh, there we go. |
| 0:39.1 | Anyway, let me just introduce my next guest. It is Claire Balding, who I know is Claire Fullum because I went to school with her and I've known her for, since we were, what, 11? |
