| 0:00.0 | Hello and welcome to the week in 60 minutes broadcast by Spectator TV on this Thursday the 9th of March. |
| 0:20.0 | My name is Freddie Gray and I will be your host today. |
| 0:24.6 | On the show this week we'll look first to America where the battle of Ron versus Don is shaping up. |
| 0:32.6 | That's Ron DeSantis versus Donald Trump, their scrap for the Republican nomination in next year's presidential election. |
| 0:41.6 | I'll be joined by Andrew Coburn and Danielle Lee Thompson. |
| 0:46.1 | Next, we'll turn to Westminster and the political news is all about immigration this week and Suella Bravman. |
| 0:54.0 | I'll be joined by the spectator's |
| 0:56.0 | brilliant political editor Katie Balls. And from London we'll go to Sweden and talk about the |
| 1:03.0 | very grisly topic of Swedish gangland culture and gun crime. I'll be joined by Anne Turnpist to discuss that. |
| 1:12.6 | And then we'll talk about cycling. |
| 1:15.6 | There's been a lot of controversy around cycling this week after the death |
| 1:20.6 | of a cyclist who had an altercation with a pedestrian. |
| 1:25.6 | The pedestrian, Aurel Gray, has been convicted of manslaughter as a result. |
| 1:31.7 | I will be joined by two Mary's, Mary DeGefsky, one of our contributors, and Mary Wakefield, |
| 1:36.8 | our commissioning editor to talk about that. And lastly, what's the matter with corsets? |
| 1:43.2 | The cast of Bridgeton have been making a bit of a fuss about corsets. That's the item of clothing and whether they are too painful to wear. I'll be discussing this difficult debate with Francesca Peacock. |
