| 0:00.0 | I mean, who's carrying around pieces of raw turkey and their dressing gal? |
| 0:03.8 | That's not right, is it? |
| 0:05.2 | Chris, I don't know what kind of household you run, but you may want to just ask a few questions. |
| 0:19.0 | It's true, isn't it? |
| 0:20.3 | It's weirdly flattering in one of those |
| 0:24.0 | You can rent them out at parties photo booths |
| 0:26.2 | But if you go into one of the passport photo booths |
| 0:29.1 | In your local shopping centre |
| 0:30.5 | To twist up the stool and have your photo taken |
| 0:34.0 | It's deeply unflattering, isn't it? |
| 0:35.6 | What's going on? |
| 0:36.4 | I don't know. |
| 0:37.4 | Well, they've got a special not going on? I don't know well they put a special they've got a special noctual spotlight that they apply it maybe it's just because they're black and white were those black and white pictures Hannah yeah that's it isn't it just explain what Hannah's just seen the world was better when you had a black and white option I think it really was it was isn't it yeah why is that okay let's why does everyone look better in a black and white option.

Well, it's interesting. But it's not in the true world of photography. Isn't it? I think it's still highly valued. But we are daft because we would do ourselves many, many favours |
| 1:11.4 | by just sending out black and white pictures of ourselves |
| 1:13.9 | who look quite so frightening with our high colour. |
| 1:16.7 | I think we do better. |
| 1:17.8 | I certainly do better just sending out photographs of other people. |
| 1:20.6 | I just know about this. |
| 1:22.2 | And slightly orangey hair. |
| 1:24.4 | Now look, I've had a time sensitive, met office alert about ice. Well, don't let me keep you. |
| 1:32.3 | Is that the immigration and control whatever it is? Are they coming to get you? Or is this ice on a pavement? |
| 1:39.4 | It's ice on a pavement. So this is slightly, it gets cold in winter shocker. But nevertheless, it says here, rain and hill snow, followed by clearing skies, will lead to the risk of icy patches on Tuesday night into Wednesday morning. No shit Sherlock. Right. I mean, what do you think about these warnings? Do you think they're appropriate or do you think we've just got too ridiculously nanny state about all this? I think they're brilliant. |
