| 0:00.0 | Hello I'm Bex and welcome to the Week Junior show. Today I'm joined by two of the team from the Week Junior, |
| 0:05.3 | the magazine Making Sense of the World for 8 to 14 year olds. We've got Deputy Editor Raul and |
| 0:10.4 | editorial assistant Elaine. This week we're going to be talking about a record-breaking run at this year's London marathon, |
| 0:16.5 | an invincible football team and the origins of the word robot. |
| 0:20.5 | We're also going to be having a big debate about where the library should scrap fines. |
| 0:24.0 | So on the subject of robots, I want to know if you could build a robot that could do anything for you, what would it be? |
