This is a global player original podcast.

Welcome to a special August Q&A edition of The Newsagents.

We do them every fortnight roughly. Is it special? Is it, is the

content going to be special or is the? It's special because it's you and me and it's August.

That's yes. Exactly. Fine. Yeah. And well, the countess is always away in August. Exactly.

So, so that's not that special. Right. Let's start with this question from Francis.

Hi news agents. Love the podcast.

I have a question that's not very newsy.

I hope that's okay.

I enjoyed your mention of Dictionary Corner and Call My Bluff on Tuesday's episode.

And it made me wonder, if you could host any TV show past or present, which would it be?

Well, did you, I hope you enjoyed equally our singing of the theme tune. Maybe we'll have to do that again depending on the one we choose. Yeah, okay. Honestly, there's just too many. As a true quiz show, aficionado, there's just too many. There's too many. Countdown, I mean, obviously we talk about that, Love countdown. The Krypton Factor. Do you remember that, Judge? Yeah.

What else would there be?

Now, I want to be Attenborough. I just want to be... You want to be Attenborough. And there we are going through the jungle and there's the lesser spotted Lewis Goodall approaching his... You know, etc. You wouldn't like a quiz show? News at 10. Fancy a bit of that? No. Boring. Boring. A man who spent Vachey's entire career on the News at 10 decides in fact that he's quite boring at this point. But I think being a correspondent, great, where you're telling the stories. And if you're just reading an introduction and saying
