0:00.0	Hello and welcome to the political party.
0:12.7	Merry Christmas and welcome to a replay of the very first Christmas special.
0:18.8	This is from 2016.
0:20.1	Before I come on to that, the political party is returning to the stage.
0:24.0	I cannot wait on the 10th of February at the Duchess Theatre.
0:28.8	So it's going to be like a year and a half until I've, since I've done it at the Duchess.
0:33.5	So it's just so cool to be back.
0:35.7	And there are six dates on sale for next year. The 10th of February, the 10th of March, 31st of March, 12th of May, 9th of June and 14th of July. They're all on Mondays at 7.30 at the home of the political party, the Duchess Theatre in London's Glittering West End. I've already booked a few guests for them. They are phenomenal.
0:54.9	I'll be announcing who the guests are soon, but you can buy tickets now. You can click on the link

1:11.9	Norwich after a sold-out show last year. And I've added another date at the Bloomsbury Theatre on
1:17.3	Friday, the 4th of April, where the tour will end. So I'm going all over the country until then. I'm
1:24.0	only halfway through the tour. So I've got some Scottish dates in Glasgow in Aberdeen, two nights in Nottingham, and loads of other places as well.
1:32.5	But tickets for those dates are going fast.
1:34.0	A lot of them have sold out.
1:35.4	So go to matford.com for all your ticketing needs.
1:38.0	So onto a political party from the past.
1:41.5	This is from December 2016.
1:46.8	So the year that we'd voted to leave the year, it's mad how quickly that's gone. It's not eight years ago. And this is a phenomenal
1:53.6	reunion between Alistair Campbell and Ed Bulls. Merry Christmas and enjoy the madness.
2:15.9	Thank you very much everyone.
