| 0:00.0 | Welcome back to another exciting edition of Plank of the Week. |
| 0:03.2 | We are unfortunately still unable to film it, |
| 0:05.6 | but we are told that we will be able to film it again very soon |
| 0:08.2 | when we reopen the studios downstairs here at NewsUK. |
| 0:11.6 | I'm delighted to say that I'm in the company today of Emma Webb, |
| 0:14.7 | who is, of course, one of the great members of the Commentariat. |
| 0:18.1 | I don't think that's an insult to say that, Emma, is it? |
