| 0:00.0 | This is LBC from Global, leading Britain's conversation. |
| 0:07.3 | Mystery Hour with James O'Brien. |
| 0:10.9 | Oh, three minutes after 12, and it's that time of the week again. |
| 0:16.0 | Mystery Hour, which offers you an opportunity to achieve the sort of satisfaction, |
| 0:19.8 | not ordinarily available anywhere else on your radio dial. |
| 0:22.8 | If you have a question, a mystery, a conundrum that you know must have an answer, |
| 0:28.0 | but you are damned if you know what it is, then ring in and ask it, |

| 1:10.6 | That sounded almost deliberate, didn't you? |
| 1:12.6 | That definitely do that again. |
| 1:15.6 | And I will be rewarding the most incisive, witty, charming and or intelligent, stroke, knowledgeable contribution this week with a brand spanking new copy of the James O'Brien's Mystery Hour board game, which is available now. |
| 1:34.3 | And I suppose perfect Christmas gift. Actually, I'm so busy plucking the board game in the book today. |
| 1:39.3 | I've forgotten to tell you about full disclosure, which that story in the news about racism at Yorkshire Cricket Club really reminded me of. |
