| 0:12.2 | Today's episode is a replay episode with Andrew Marr from four years ago. |
| 0:17.1 | This was recorded in May 22 and what a phenomenal guest he was. You can see why he's |
| 0:23.6 | been such a prolific and successful broadcast for so many years. And a great journalist and he's got |
| 0:29.7 | so many great stories here. His analysis is phenomenal. And this is from 2020. So this is, |
| 0:36.0 | the political landscape was completely different at this point. So it's |
| 0:39.7 | really interesting going back and taking this in and seeing how different the world looked |
