Hello, Giles here, and knowing that we have a family audience and the purple people often include

some very young people, just to say that today's episode does include some language that some

people may find uncomfortable or offensive. Hello, welcome to something rhymes with purple. I am

sitting opposite, as always, my co-presenter, he's only a picture on my screen but what a picture he

is. Always energetic, always in front of Marilyn, regular listeners won't exactly what I mean by

that and always with a smile on his face. Hi, Giles. I ought to explain to our listeners regular

otherwise that Marilyn is on a screen behind me and it's very few people in the world are known by

their first name alone but you guessed right it is indeed Marilyn Monroe who I wish I'd met but I

never did though I was lucky enough at school to have a friend whose mother was the photographer

Eve Arnold who took a whole series of photographs of Marilyn Monroe in the 1950s and I think took

the last famous pictures of her and so when I was a little boy I felt I knew Marilyn Monroe because

I knew someone who knew her so one remove I have a connection with Marilyn Monroe. They were Americans

but we're not going to America in this episode are we where are we going? We are going to the sound

of Bo Bells because we are going to talk about Cockney Rhyming slang but I must just say that you and

are are about to do something quite exciting thanks to you because you suggested me I've never been

on this program before but you have we're going to do celebrity goggle box together. It's very

exciting I tell you the reason I suggested you I've been lucky enough to do it over several years

it's a strange program if you're listening to this in another country and the joy of something

rhymes with purple is we have purple people listening across the globe. Goggle Box is a show that started

out on British TV it's now shown in some other countries where real people are filmed watching TV

that's as simple as that and you'll see their reactions. It's such a dark concept but it works so

brilliant and they do a celebrity version with often the celebrities of people I've never heard of
