| 0:00.0 | This episode of Red Box is brought to you in association with SSE, a leading clean energy |
| 0:06.0 | champion, accelerating the transition to net zero. SSE is investing over £9 million a day |
| 0:14.3 | in cleaner, more secure, homegrown energy. That includes transforming networks across the country |
| 0:20.4 | to connect renewable energy, households and businesses to a greener grid, pioneering low carbon |
| 0:27.1 | flexible technologies such as carbon capture and storage and building the world's largest |
| 0:32.5 | offshore wind farm, a doggar bank off the coast of Yorkshire. When complete, doggar bank will |

| 2:19.3 | let's all have a go and have a good time. And then they just, you know, criticise Jenny Harris |
