| 0:00.0 | It's 4.15am when Graham Perks is woken up. |
| 0:09.0 | Downstairs a conservatory door shatters, and for a moment it doesn't make sense. |
| 0:14.0 | He lies still, listening. |
| 0:16.0 | Then he gets out of bed and makes his way downstairs. |
| 0:20.0 | What he's faced with is the stench of petrol and a man standing dressed in camouflage and a balaclava. |
| 0:27.8 | And he's holding a knife. |
| 0:31.4 | This is Red Rom. |
| 0:33.0 | Stories about the true victims of crime. |
| 0:35.3 | I upload episodes on a Monday and a Thursday. Make sure you're |

| 1:28.5 | stress around the NHS. Honestly, with where we get to in the case, it really got me and it gave |
| 1:35.7 | me a real sense of the kind of person he comes across as and I wanted to share some of that |
| 1:41.4 | with you. So I'm going to read a quote from him. Just to give you a sense of Graham Perks. |
| 1:46.7 | Quote, I really don't know why I've been so lucky. |
| 1:49.9 | People walk down the corridor and ask me how I am, and I say, I'm great. |
| 1:54.2 | I'm having a great time. |
