| 0:00.0 | Morning everybody, welcome along to your free podcast for today. I'm hoping, I'm hoping to get out of town before I get a parking ticket. I'm hoping that the traffic warden's going to be nice this morning. But you never know. I'm certainly going to have to pay congestion charge, but I'm certainly, it's a bit of a rush to get through everything today. Because the first story is not a particularly good one. It's Robin Williams' widow, Susan, who is fighting his three children over personal property left in the late comedian's will. |
| 0:26.9 | I mean, isn't it awful? |
| 0:28.6 | Doesn't your heart bleed? |
| 0:30.7 | But wherever things have come up, you know, people and there's money involved. |
| 0:36.5 | This happened before. |
| 0:37.4 | This is not the first time I've heard this in Hollywood. |
| 0:39.8 | Michael Landon's children challenged his will, I seem to remember, over in America. He left them, I think. It might have been 10 million each. |
| 0:49.1 | But as usual, greed took over. I cannot remember what the outcome was, but I remember thinking at the time, |
| 1:01.0 | how sad, how sad. And now Robin Williams' widow has filed a lawsuit against his three children in a fight over property left in his will. They report that Susan has filed legal documents |
| 1:07.2 | complaining that somebody entered the house she shared with him before his death, |
| 1:12.3 | following his suicide, and removed belonging, she felt entitled to. And so, his three children |
| 1:18.5 | tell a different story. They've accused her of money grabbing. I thought that she was his wife. |
| 1:24.9 | Were they actually, I don't know if they were legally married or anything else like that, |
| 1:28.2 | but, you know, they say that she's trying to redefine aspects of the will to suit her, |
| 1:33.8 | despite him being clear that he left most of his property to his children. You see, it's awful, |
| 1:40.1 | isn't it? It's awful when people start fighting over things like that, because you think it's just so |
| 1:44.0 | unnecessary. It's so unnecessary, and it's sad. I can think of no other word than sad. Kids are, |
| 1:51.9 | one of them, is a bit freaky. So after two failed marriages, he ensured that he and his third wife, |
| 1:57.7 | Susan, signed a pre-nup agreement. So that's why he had a seven million dollar |
| 2:01.7 | house. He had spent a lot of money because these people do. I sometimes think it'd be cheaper |
| 2:06.5 | just to sleep with somebody and pay them on a daily basis because that way you don't have to pay |
| 2:10.2 | them at the end. Susanna Reid, we talked about this morning her 10-year battle with tinnitus. And I think it's national tinnitus week coming up. So I'm sure that |
