| 0:17.3 | Hello and welcome to Coffee House Shots. I'm James Heal and I'm joined today by Fraser Nelson |
| 0:21.5 | and it's Bell Hardman. Well there's only one story in town today and that is the revelations |
| 0:25.6 | that are coming out about Prince Harry's book. Fraser are you going to be reading it? |
| 0:29.2 | I think I've read so many extracts that when it comes out I've read pretty much everything. |

| 1:21.4 | quite distinct from all of the others. The others were just very weird tidal tattle. Of course |
| 1:28.7 | which as he knows the press and the public will absolutely suck up. It's funny that somebody who |
| 1:34.5 | has spent for last 15 years complaining about invasions of privacy should then go to invade the |
| 1:40.4 | privacy of his own members of his family including whatever circumcised or not. But that's Harry |
| 1:47.3 | self-incrimination. But for any soldier to go about talking about a kill ratio it's very unusual |
