Well, a very good morning, the start of another week.

0:06.1

Welcome to the Talk Breakfast Show.

0:07.4

It is, of course, the home of common sense.

0:09.0

It is the home of working Brits, alarm clock Brits.

0:12.6

We're delighted to get your involvement in the show.

0:14.4

Oh, my God.

0:16.1
