| 0:05.5 | Welcome back to the Independent Republican Mike Graham. |
| 0:07.9 | It is, of course, another day, and it is another dollar, and it is another scandal for ITV. |
| 0:12.7 | We're hearing all sorts of things this morning about the latest from the This Morning Stable, |
| 0:17.1 | and we'll be bringing you all of that news throughout the course of the next three hours. |
| 0:20.3 | This is the one place where you get the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth. |
| 0:24.0 | It's unvarnished, I'm afraid, and sometimes it's not particularly pretty. |
