Morning everybody, welcome along to your free podcast for Friday. Oh, I don't want to mention the date. Let's just say it's Friday, shall we?

Let's not worry about the superstitious side of it, because you might be superstitious. I don't know.

Might be one of those people sort of worrying about, you know, somebody sort of saying, the date.

So I won't.

I've obliterated it. Sorry, a little bit out of breath, actually. I just had a Chinese pear.

And I suddenly realized it was actually quite nice to sit down and do this. So I'm kind of sort of slightly winded by the whole thing.

Well, as proof was needed yesterday, we finally got it. Yes, ITV had finally admitted that the full Monty stars, not only the women got paid 10 grand, the bloke's got paid 10 grand as well

for it. And what the papers are saying is give your money to charity. Give it to charity. Stop being

a bit fraudulent. You know, all right, we know there was a fee for it, but give it to charity. Give it to charity. Stop being a bit fraudulent.

You know, all right, we know there was a fee for it, but give it to charity.

I bet they don't.

I bet they don't.

It'll be very interesting.

So, Victoria Derbyshire, Colleen Nolan, both been called upon by outraged viewers.

I love the way they call Victoria Derbyshire a BBC 2 presenter.

And it only raised four grand for charity. And yet it costs them 160,000. That was just the

fees for the presenters on this thing. Take the clothes off. I'm sure if you'd turn around to

Jeff Prazier and say, would you take your kit off for a grand? He'd do it immediately. Why,

they'd have to pay 10,000 pounds. I've got no idea. But anyway, it's a bit of a

scandal. Mind you, working as hard as he ever does, the National Lottery has been poached from the BBC

to ITV, hosting it, the boy who never stops working, Stephen Mulhern, and this is, he'll be doing it, I think, every Saturday night at about 8.15, I think. I think that's when he's doing it. I still can't believe he's 41. I mean, seriously, just the boy is ageless.
