Three minutes after ten is the time. A very good morning indeed to you.

A funny one today. Listen, I've taken an editorial decision. I don't take many and they

rarely laughed the duration of an entire program. But I have taken an editorial decision.

And listen, I am going to listen to listen to your views on whatever subject is under discussion,

but I am obviously in charge of deciding what subjects are under discussion. And that decision-making

process is informed by two things, really. It's informed by the news, and it's informed by my and

my colleagues' sense of what is three things, sense of what is

important and likely to produce fertile conversations. So quite often I've pointed out to you that

being at the top of the news agenda is not necessarily being at the top of our to-do list.

In fact, it doesn't coincide as often as we might expect it to.

And then you've got the third question, which is what I can muster up the most enthusiasm

about. This is the weirdest bit of my job. So it's why, for example, the same subject in the

hands of different presenters can get such different responses.

You can probably tell when I am phoning it in. You can certainly tell if I'm doing a topic

because I just think I have to. And I don't know that, I hope these topics don't really come up

anymore. But back in the day, you'd sort of think, oh gosh, yeah, we better do that.

Or gricky, that's important. There are some things that break the rules i mean you have to cover the passing of of

somebody a huge for example or you have to um if we were at war or during covid you have to talk about

covid every day that that that breaks the paradigm it makes my job easier and harder if you're interested easier because i don't have to talk about COVID every day. That breaks the paradigm. It makes my job easier and harder if you're interested. Easier because I don't have to work out every morning what we're going to talk about and harder because I don't have to work out every morning what we're going to talk about. So I've taken a view, but I think it's also backed up objectively that the coronation is a

sufficiently important attempt to concern us for at least an hour every morning until it happens

on Saturday. It's only Wednesday. It may well be that I drop this plan tomorrow or on Friday,

but as it stacked, because I might run out of interesting questions to ask. So the headline,
