| 0:00.0 | Welcome to another episode of the Fully Charged Podcast coming to you on the final relaxing |
| 0:15.8 | late afternoon of Sunday here at Fully Charged Live North in Harrogate and it has been |
| 0:22.1 | a lovely but quite tiring weekend. I'm here with the wonderful, fabulous, always energetic |
| 0:27.8 | Roger Atkins. |
| 0:28.8 | Thank you very much. Thank you very much, very much. Thank you very much. |
| 0:35.2 | Thank you. I just, I just, you just the urge, Jack, and I wonder if it's lovely is it's |
