This is LBC from Global, leading Britain's conversation, mystery hour with James O'Brien.

0:11.5

Oh, what a welcome sound that is, what welcome words they are. Rarely have they been received by this listener with as much enthusiasm as they are today.

0:22.2

Here it is, your weekly opportunity to achieve the sort of satisfaction, not ordinarily available,

0:27.1

anywhere else on your radio dial.

0:29.4

We will canvas your questions across pretty much any subject or field that you please,

And it turned out an awful lot of people. Honestly, people come up to me and tell me that they thought it was about an otter from Essex rather than about a Hollywood star from America.
