1. Hi, Jamie.
Hi. Mark Wade, Sunday Times.
Copy !req
2. We spoke on the phone. OK.
Copy !req
3. So, you got ten minutes with him.
Fine.
Copy !req
4. Obviously he's promoting the
new album, that really is all
he wants to talk about. Ah.
Copy !req
5. So he won't be taking any
questions about the stuff
he did in the '60s.
Copy !req
6. Right. Only, I was going to
ask him a few things about...
Copy !req
7. Yeah, I know what you're going
to say, but Neil has been
very explicit about this.
Copy !req
8. If you go off topic he will
terminate the interview.
Copy !req
9. He's very serious
about the new album.
Copy !req
10. Yeah, but, the thing is most of our
readers will be more familiar with
him as the first man on the moon.
Copy !req
11. Whatever he did previously,
Neil is now a singer songwriter.
Copy !req
12. OK, fair enough. But he hasn't
stopped being the first man on the
moon. Are you going to be unhelpful?
Copy !req
13. I'm not.
Look, I've listened to the new album.
Copy !req
14. It's not bad for an astronaut,
I suppose.
Copy !req
15. He's a singer songwriter,
how many times? Sorry.
Copy !req
16. If I asked a thousand people who Neil
Armstrong was, I reckon approximately
Copy !req
17. all one thousand of them would say
he was the first man on the moon.
Copy !req
18. Actually, no, you're wrong, because
I'd say he's a singer songwriter.
Copy !req
19. OK. Imagine
I'm an alien who's just landed...
Copy !req
20. You're not tricking me into
space talk. I'm not trying to. God!
Copy !req
21. Imagine I'm someone who's
so breathtakingly out of touch
Copy !req
22. that I'm not sure
who Neil Armstrong is,
Copy !req
23. and I said to you, "Jamie, can you
remind me, who's Neil Armstrong?"
Copy !req
24. What exactly would you say?
Copy !req
25. Well, I'd say... Yeah?
Copy !req
26. He was the first singer songwriter
on the moon.
Copy !req
27. You're watching the British
Emergency Broadcasting System.
Copy !req
28. The alert state is unknown,
presumed black.
Copy !req
29. It's 2600 hours and time for
The Quiz Broadcast.
Copy !req
30. CANNED APPLAUSE, STOPS ABRUPTLY
Copy !req
31. Hello, good evening
and remain indoors.
Copy !req
32. Welcome to the second and final hour
of broadcasting for this week.
Copy !req
33. Let's start by welcoming back last week's
lucky runners up, Peter and Sheila.
Copy !req
34. And last week's unlucky winner,
Maltesers.
Copy !req
35. Such a shame that that prize
turned out to be contaminated.
Copy !req
36. So, Peter and Sheila,
you're through to the next round.
Copy !req
37. Will there be food? I ate my watch.
Copy !req
38. Yes, of course, it's two weeks since the
last of the food parcels was distributed.
Copy !req
39. That means it's all to play
for, because who knows,
Copy !req
40. one of tonight's
prizes might be food.
Copy !req
41. They keep us alive for their sport.
Copy !req
42. So, let's start with the odd one out
round. Fingers on buzzers.
Copy !req
43. Which of these is the odd one out?
Copy !req
44. A ceremonial helmet,
Copy !req
45. the last child,
Copy !req
46. President Butterfly
Copy !req
47. and The Event?
Copy !req
48. BELL
Copy !req
49. Could we eat Maltesers?
Copy !req
50. I'm pretty sure
that's against the regulations.
Copy !req
51. Blessed be the regulations.
Copy !req
52. Come on, a helmet, the last child,
President Butterfly and The Event.
Copy !req
53. Think about it. Except the event,
don't think about The Event.
Copy !req
54. Er... is it The Event?
Copy !req
55. Yes, The Event is the odd
one out, of course,
Copy !req
56. because it destroyed
the other three.
Copy !req
57. So let's move to
our headline round
Copy !req
58. featuring this week's
guest publication, The Newspaper.
Copy !req
59. Sheila and Peter, your headline
is 'oomsday'.
Copy !req
60. What was 'oomsday'?
Copy !req
61. Was it between Tuesday and birthday?
Copy !req
62. "Number three air filtration system
has failed." It's happening again!
Copy !req
63. That sound means that's all
we've got time for.
Copy !req
64. Blessed be the regulations!
I can hear them in the dark!
Copy !req
65. It seems we're having
technical problems.
Copy !req
66. While you remain indoors
and we send Sheila off
Copy !req
67. to be voltage calmed,
here's some music.
Copy !req
68. It's no use, Gilbert.
Ever since the critical failure
Copy !req
69. of our last operetta, I feel
completely bereft of ideas.
Copy !req
70. I just don't know what
the public wants any more.
Copy !req
71. Fear not, Sullivan. This morning
as I was making my motions,
Copy !req
72. an idea came to
me fully formed.
Copy !req
73. HMS Pinafore 2.
Copy !req
74. HMS Pinafore 2. HMS Pinafore
As Well? I don't understand.
Copy !req
75. People all loved Pinafore, right?
Copy !req
76. So we just do it again, with a twist.
Copy !req
77. Yes. How? What?
Copy !req
78. We set it amongst the stars.
Copy !req
79. I like that. It's modern. On a ship
that travels amongst the stars.
Copy !req
80. A starship.
On a mission of great enterprise.
Copy !req
81. Will this include a case of
humorous mistaken identity?
Copy !req
82. Of course.
It's brilliant. Where's my quill?
Copy !req
83. The differences between us are
Copy !req
84. BOOING, HECKLING
Copy !req
85. They hate it! They really hate it!
Copy !req
86. Where are the tunes?
Copy !req
87. Ignore him, Sullivan,
it's your best work.
Copy !req
88. Bargains, bargains, bargains,
while bargains last at Didldidi.
Copy !req
89. You'll never guess where
we've cut corners
Copy !req
90. at Didldidi's bumper bargain
family sized give away.
Copy !req
91. Like this chicken-style oven roaster
just £1.19.
Copy !req
92. These Lucky Dip tins of textured-style
afters, just ten for the price of one.
Copy !req
93. And this three litre bottle of
fizzy tomato style drink, only 49p.
Copy !req
94. Didldidi,
it all goes down the same hole.
Copy !req
95. Daniel Darn Tooting, the most iconic
screen actor of his generation.
Copy !req
96. Famous for his blistering historical
portraits of Josef Stalin, Custer,
Copy !req
97. Genghis Khan and Wilf Lum.
Copy !req
98. He returns to our screens this year
as Skeeg Tash in Tash: A Man Of Oil.
Copy !req
99. A towering return to form
after the breakdown
Copy !req
100. which saw Darn Tooting
abandon acting,
Copy !req
101. seemingly for good, on the set of
Marty Tsar's the Boondock Feuds.
Copy !req
102. BLOWS RASPBERRIES
Copy !req
103. And... Action!
Copy !req
104. You know, it gets harder
to kill a man as you get older.
Copy !req
105. BLOWS RASPBERRY
Copy !req
106. Not easier. Harder.
Copy !req
107. More hard.
Copy !req
108. RASPS
Copy !req
109. You might think it gets easier,
Copy !req
110. but, in fact (RASPS)
the opposite is...
Copy !req
111. Get this off me!
Get this thing off me!
Copy !req
112. Get it off me!
Copy !req
113. Get it off me!
Copy !req
114. Daniel Darn Tooting, it's a great
pleasure to see you back at work.
Copy !req
115. Thank you. Before we talk about
the film, Daniel, your breakdown.
Copy !req
116. Yes. Yes.
Copy !req
117. I, um... I can't put a finger on
precisely what happened there.
Copy !req
118. Obviously the character
I was playing in Boondocks...
Copy !req
119. Bill the pirate.
Yes. He was a dark character.
Copy !req
120. In many ways he was... So, it
wasn't just because of the moustache?
Copy !req
121. What makes you say that?
Copy !req
122. The footage of you physically tearing
it out of your face by the roots.
Copy !req
123. No, that... oh, that, that was erm...
Copy !req
124. I was very tired. Tired?
Copy !req
125. Tired, ill, sick,
Copy !req
126. sick of... sick and tired.
You were sick and...
Copy !req
127. Can I get my glass of milk, please?
Copy !req
128. Hmm?
Copy !req
129. But you're fine now? I'm fine...
Copy !req
130. now, yeah. You're not
going to suddenly go spare?
Copy !req
131. Spare?
Copy !req
132. Because of the new moustache?
Copy !req
133. No... oh, no.
Copy !req
134. This one won't, this one doesn't
think that I'm... No, thank you.
Copy !req
135. Thank you, I like it.
Copy !req
136. Thank you. Is it for a part?
Copy !req
137. Excuse me... yes, for Skeeg.
Copy !req
138. Skeeg Tash?
Copy !req
139. Skeeg T... ash.
Copy !req
140. Is it glued on, or... No it sprout...
Copy !req
141. It grewed. It growed on, it's grown,
I should say,
Copy !req
142. on my upper l... lip-pppp-ppp.
Copy !req
143. It's good, it's big.
Copy !req
144. Yep, they grew them big. Yep.
Copy !req
145. Thank you. There's your milk.
Copy !req
146. I think I'll actually save that.
Drink the milk. I don't feel like it.
Copy !req
147. You asked for the milk.
Copy !req
148. Yeah. Of course, yes.
I think I'll...
Copy !req
149. have the milk.
Copy !req
150. Have I got any? Yeah.
And do you also have trouble eating?
Copy !req
151. Get it off me!
Get it off me!
Copy !req
152. Thank you so much for coming,
happy Christmas.
Copy !req
153. Merry Christmas. Merry Christmas.
Ah!
Copy !req
154. Hennimore, before you go, I've got a
bit of a Christmas favour to ask you.
Copy !req
155. Oh, little donkey. Help yourself
to a prawn Christ and come with me.
Copy !req
156. Welcome to the love nest.
This is where the magic happens.
Copy !req
157. Nice prawn, Sir. Sorry.
Copy !req
158. Well, you've probably wondered, Hennimore,
why I've taken to sleeping in the office.
Copy !req
159. I'm not going to lie to you,
Hennimore.
Copy !req
160. I'm going to tell you a horrific private
truth of almost genital intimacy
Copy !req
161. and there's nothing you can do
about it.
Copy !req
162. Is this about your perineum
again, Sir? Not directly, no.
Copy !req
163. Mrs Boss and I need to
spice up our sex life.
Copy !req
164. What better time to do
it than this sexiest
Copy !req
165. of all the sacred
festivals, Christmas?
Copy !req
166. In order to make our festive banging
go with a bang,
Copy !req
167. I've ordered a top-of-the range
erotic bed, the Sexualiser 4000.
Copy !req
168. It's got self-notching
bed posts, 12 lube jets
Copy !req
169. and an eight-speed slap
and tickle setting.
Copy !req
170. I'm sure you're aware how strongly
anti-nuclear Mrs Boss has become
Copy !req
171. since joining
Ladies Against The Wall,
Copy !req
172. a group dedicated to reaching out
to the Communist Eastern Bloc.
Copy !req
173. So as a special treat, I've had the bed
customised with an enormous CND logo.
Copy !req
174. It's down in our warehouse.
Copy !req
175. I need you to get it installed up here
by midnight tonight. No problem, Sir.
Copy !req
176. On an unrelated note, my
long time sparring partner
Copy !req
177. and former prisoner of war
camp guard Klaus Automobile,
Copy !req
178. now a big wheel of the
Mercedes corporation,
Copy !req
179. keeps rubbing my nose in the
amount of arse he's getting
Copy !req
180. and indeed let slip to me
has destroyed his own bed
Copy !req
181. in a particularly
torrid hump fest.
Copy !req
182. I wish I could say
the same about ours.
Copy !req
183. That was the result of
nothing sexier than Mrs Boss
Copy !req
184. thinking she could hear the scrape
of a death watch beetle
Copy !req
185. and setting about the thing with
a bust of Freud and a lacrosse stick.
Copy !req
186. A passionate woman, Sir.
Copy !req
187. So I said to Klaus that I'd order him
a Sexualiser 4000 as well, as a treat.
Copy !req
188. Then I hit upon the idea for
a hilarious Christmas prank.
Copy !req
189. In fact I've ordered him
a Joke-O-paedic 69,
Copy !req
190. a bed primarily designed for
farceurs and humorous hospitals.
Copy !req
191. It has 41 of the most
unerotic settings imaginable,
Copy !req
192. including nausea jets,
unexplained custard and dung.
Copy !req
193. I want you to deliver it
to his house by midnight tonight.
Copy !req
194. It's also down in our warehouse emblazoned
with an enormous Mercedes insignia.
Copy !req
195. Sounds clear enough, Sir.
And chop, chop, Hennimore.
Copy !req
196. I want you to get straight back here
Copy !req
197. to video mine and Mrs Boss's
night of passion on your phone.
Copy !req
198. But Sir, tomorrow's Christmas.
Copy !req
199. I can't believe you'd be so selfish.
It's Christmas.
Copy !req
200. But it's Christmas.
Copy !req
201. It's Christmas, Hennimore.
But it's Christmas, Sir.
Copy !req
202. Then we're agreed.
You get those two beds delivered
Copy !req
203. and remember, the
only screw up I want
Copy !req
204. is the brilliant screw
that I'm going to be...
Copy !req
205. I know Sir. No wait,
that I'm going to be having...
Copy !req
206. Really, I get it, Sir. That I'm going
to be having right up my wife's...
Copy !req
207. I'll be going, Sir.
Copy !req
208. Hennimore!
Copy !req
209. Chocolate Mitchell? No, thank you.
Copy !req
210. Chocolate Mitchell?
Copy !req
211. Chocolate what? Chocolate Mitchell.
Copy !req
212. It's a biscuit named after me.
Copy !req
213. Why? I thought it was time
I had a biscuit named after me.
Copy !req
214. Garibaldi's got one,
Mr Richard T has got one. Why not me?
Copy !req
215. But it's just a Bourbon biscuit.
Copy !req
216. No, it isn't. I don't know
what you're talking about.
Copy !req
217. Yes, it's. It's a layer of chocolate
fondant
Copy !req
218. sandwiched between two dark chocolate
biscuits, exactly like a Bourbon.
Copy !req
219. No, it isn't. It's different.
Copy !req
220. It's nicer. Bourbons are horrible.
Copy !req
221. That's lucky, because
this isn't a Bourbon.
Copy !req
222. What, because you've
scraped the word bourbon
Copy !req
223. off the top and
scratched in Mitchell?
Copy !req
224. Carved, do you mind? Hand carved
the word Mitchell into the top
Copy !req
225. and anyway, this
is a prototype.
Copy !req
226. Soon there'll be two of them
Copy !req
227. when my craftsman's finished
carving the other one.
Copy !req
228. Oh... David, I broke another one.
Copy !req
229. Should probably eat it, probably.
Copy !req
230. I have it, Gilbert. Law enforcement.
Copy !req
231. Ooh! Quite good, a bobby operetta.
That's modern. And our hero?
Copy !req
232. He's a plain-speaking, no-nonsense
sort of cove, a maverick if you will
Copy !req
233. and has somewhat abrasive manner,
much to his superior's chagrin.
Copy !req
234. Oh, and he carries a blunderbuss.
Copy !req
235. A blunderbuss, the most powerful
hand-held weapon known to man.
Copy !req
236. This is excellent. Now what should
we call him, this loose cannon?
Copy !req
237. He's a baritone
I assume.
Copy !req
238. Unquestionably. What about Harold?
Copy !req
239. Harold. Difficult to rhyme.
Copy !req
240. Harry then? Harry, marry, carry,
tarry, parry, expeditionary.
Copy !req
241. I like it, No-Nonsense Harry.
Copy !req
242. New parchment.
Copy !req
243. BOOS, HECKLING
Copy !req
244. They hate it!
Copy !req
245. And this is really loud!
Copy !req
246. Hello there. I'm Donny Cosy
Copy !req
247. and I hope you'll join me
for A Prayer And A Pint,
Copy !req
248. which this week celebrates
its 500th episode
Copy !req
249. from the beautiful city
of Tokyo in Japan.
Copy !req
250. Health and good fortune
be upon you this day.
Copy !req
251. And you know who said that
to me this morning? My toilet.
Copy !req
252. And I'm sat here now with the inventor
of that toilet, Professor Usheda. Yes.
Copy !req
253. Tucking into something you
might not normally associate
Copy !req
254. with a Japanese
restaurant,
Copy !req
255. pizza.
Copy !req
256. Now, Tokyo, Professor,
Copy !req
257. being here, I'm finding,
is like stepping into fairy land.
Copy !req
258. Fairy land, yes.
Copy !req
259. You all look like pixies.
It's hilarious.
Copy !req
260. But pixies with jobs.
Copy !req
261. Heaven knows what we must look like
to you, great big-nosed trolls.
Copy !req
262. Or if I was black.
Copy !req
263. But black people are probably objectively
more attractive than white people,
Copy !req
264. once you get over
the initial shock.
Copy !req
265. Shock.
Copy !req
266. And also I'm finding Tokyo is like
actually living in Pac-Man. Pac-Man?
Copy !req
267. In a game of Pac-Man.
Copy !req
268. Yes, yes, Pac-Man, Japanese.
Copy !req
269. No? Yes.
Copy !req
270. And the shape, Pac-Man's shape
is based on your pizza.
Copy !req
271. And the shape of the ghosts,
what's that based on? Ghost, yes.
Copy !req
272. They're based on actual ghosts? Yes.
Copy !req
273. The Holy Ghost isn't that shape.
Copy !req
274. Holy Ghost? The Holy Ghost.
Holy Ghost. Holy Ghost.
Copy !req
275. Oh... Holocaust?
Copy !req
276. No, not the Holo...
Copy !req
277. Pac-Man's not based... It's not.
Copy !req
278. Sorry I don't. Pac-Man.
Copy !req
279. Is that Elvis? Elvis, yes!
Copy !req
280. Elvis Presley,
so we've found some common ground.
Copy !req
281. Pixie madness here in Tokyo,
but now it's time for a hit.
Copy !req
282. This week's request comes from Phil and
Meg McQueen from Sulky Abbot in Bumsex.
Copy !req
283. They have asked for all I want to do,
Copy !req
284. all I want to do, all I
want to do is praise him.
Copy !req
285. CHURCH ORGAN INTRO
Copy !req
286. That's us. Bye.
Copy !req
287. We've all got gadgets
coming out of our ears -
Copy !req
288. iPods, satnavs
an electrical item for every job.
Copy !req
289. To many, it must seem like
we're living in the future,
Copy !req
290. but to others, the cry
has always been,
Copy !req
291. "Well, if this is the future,
then where's my jet pack?"
Copy !req
292. Well, today those people will
definitely have a smile on their face.
Copy !req
293. The fastest-selling item
ever to go on sale,
Copy !req
294. over 3 million jet packs have
been sold in the last 24 hours.
Copy !req
295. The manufacturer, the Jet Pack Company,
has soared into the record books,
Copy !req
296. a real success story
in a depressed market.
Copy !req
297. I'm here with the
inventor of the jet pack
Copy !req
298. and MD of the Jet Pack
Company, Mark Pelmer.
Copy !req
299. Mark, you must be
absolutely over the moon.
Copy !req
300. It's been
incredible.
Copy !req
301. It turns out the whole world has been
waiting for the jet pack to be created.
Copy !req
302. Even with its hefty price tag, every man
and his dog has gone out to buy one.
Copy !req
303. What do you say to those people who
suggest the jet pack is dangerous?
Copy !req
304. Safety is absolutely
our biggest concern.
Copy !req
305. We've tested and tested and tested.
Copy !req
306. The jet packs are incredibly safe.
There's no danger of explosion.
Copy !req
307. The flame burns cold.
Copy !req
308. There's a height limiter. They will
not run out of fuel in midair.
Copy !req
309. The jet pack is completely safe.
Copy !req
310. What about the people using them?
Copy !req
311. I couldn't possibly comment.
Copy !req
312. Now Mark I can't let you go without
asking, can I have a go? Of course.
Copy !req
313. Let's take a flight together.
Copy !req
314. Pete Phillpott signing off.
Copy !req
315. Let's go.
Copy !req
316. So, thanks for all coming to this
meeting, so close to the end of the day.
Copy !req
317. You're probably all aware that,
due to recent financial difficulties,
Copy !req
318. the company is now in the uncomfortable
position of having to seek a merger.
Copy !req
319. WAHEY!
Copy !req
320. Right. Now, I can't help but feel that the
company wouldn't be in this position...
Copy !req
321. What position is that Mike? The
position of having to seek a merger.
Copy !req
322. WAHEY!
Copy !req
323. Mike didn't drink.
Really this isn't a...
Copy !req
324. Down it! Down it! Down it!
Copy !req
325. Oh, all right!
Copy !req
326. I can't help but feel that the company
wouldn't need to seek a merger...
Copy !req
327. HOORAY!
Copy !req
328. if we hadn't adopted
as company policy
Copy !req
329. the idea of downing a glass
of rare vintage claret
Copy !req
330. every time someone says merger.
Copy !req
331. WAHEY!
Copy !req
332. It seriously
affected our efficiency
Copy !req
333. and because of the cost of rare
vintage claret, our cash flow.
Copy !req
334. HOORAY!
Copy !req
335. I didn't say merger.
Copy !req
336. HOORAY!
Copy !req
337. You did say cash flow. WAHEY!
Cash flow?
Copy !req
338. WAHEY!
Copy !req
339. (SLURRED) New policy, as well as drinking
claret every time we hear the word merger,
Copy !req
340. we drink 25-year-old Scotch every
time we hear the word cash flow.
Copy !req
341. HOORAY!
Copy !req
342. 25-year-old Scotch? But that will
affect our ca... our balance sheet.
Copy !req
343. HOORAY!
Copy !req
344. Balance sheet as well?
Copy !req
345. WAHEY!
Copy !req
346. Vodka shot.
Copy !req
347. No-one told me this.
Didn't you get the memo?
Copy !req
348. WAHEY!
Copy !req
349. We don't drink on memo.
We've never drunk on the word memo.
Copy !req
350. Guys, guys...
Copy !req
351. He said it twice.
Copy !req
352. It's a miniature of Drambuie
when you say m... er, that word.
Copy !req
353. WAHEY! That's all right,
I didn't say memo. Oops.
Copy !req
354. I can't be bothered
to discuss this now.
Copy !req
355. Besides, it's gone 5:30,
it's the end of the day.
Copy !req
356. We can talk about the merger...
Copy !req
357. Wahey!
Copy !req
358. .. tomorrow.
Copy !req
359. Anyone coming to the pub? Good idea.
Copy !req
360. Let's do that.
Copy !req
361. I think we have to face facts,
Gilbert,
Copy !req
362. the British theatre-going public
just isn't getting our new work.
Copy !req
363. We're very disappointed
in your new operettas! >
Copy !req
364. And I had such high hopes for
Dangerous Shark With Big Teeth.
Copy !req
365. Quite. And who could have known that
Copy !req
366. The Girl With A Demon Inside
That Was Removed By A Vicar
Copy !req
367. would have been met
with indifference.
Copy !req
368. We're close to bankruptcy.
We need a hit.
Copy !req
369. Remember the halcyon days,
the Mikado, we need that magic back.
Copy !req
370. Something accessible,
something classy.
Copy !req
371. A-ha! A hit!
Finally, a tune you can hum.
Copy !req
372. You don't think we've somehow
cheapened ourselves?
Copy !req
373. Nah.
Copy !req
374. All right.
Next question, and it's to Louise.
Copy !req
375. Louise fielding this one.
Are you ready for this Louise?
Copy !req
376. Richard, listen up, of course,
Copy !req
377. because you'll get the chance to
steal this if Louise falters.
Copy !req
378. But she may not. Let's see.
Copy !req
379. Louise, answer me this.
It's in the category of people.
Copy !req
380. People is the category.
Are you good on people, Louise?
Copy !req
381. Well, let's find out.
Copy !req
382. In the category of people,
this is to Louise... initially.
Copy !req
383. In people,
Copy !req
384. which person
Copy !req
385. famously set sail
Copy !req
386. on the HMS
Copy !req
387. Beagle
Copy !req
388. in 1831?
Copy !req
389. Which person famously set sail
on the Beagle in 1831?
Copy !req
390. Louise?
Copy !req
391. Can you tell me? It was...
Copy !req
392. Take your time.
Copy !req
393. Famous ship, of course, the Beagle,
carried a famous man
Copy !req
394. or woman
Copy !req
395. in 1831. We're looking for
the name of that person.
Copy !req
396. What was his name, or her name?
Copy !req
397. It's Charles... Think it over.
Take your time.
Copy !req
398. The HMS Beagle in 1831.
Copy !req
399. Bit of a clue there, of course.
Copy !req
400. Many people weren't alive in 1831.
Copy !req
401. Most people, in fact.
Copy !req
402. Of those who were,
Copy !req
403. some would have
been too old to sail
Copy !req
404. and some too young,
but not this person.
Copy !req
405. What was their name?
Copy !req
406. Can Louise tell us? Yes, Charles...
Copy !req
407. Or will it be thrown over to Richard
Copy !req
408. to do what comes naturally
and steal the point?
Copy !req
409. Richard, of course, we know
fond of dogs.
Copy !req
410. This Beagle, of course,
Copy !req
411. not a dog, but will the name
have caught his attention?
Copy !req
412. Though that won't help him
if Louise knows the answer.
Copy !req
413. So, let's find out.
Copy !req
414. Charles... As we start the clock.
Copy !req
415. There we are,
the clock has now started.
Copy !req
416. It's ticking away.
Copy !req
417. Who set sail on the Beagle
in 1831? Does Louise know?
Copy !req
418. Can she work it out
against the clock?
Copy !req
419. Though the clock, of course,
is just a clock.
Copy !req
420. She's got all the time she needs,
after all, it's not as if we're on TV.
Copy !req
421. No, no distractions like that.
Copy !req
422. It's just you, me and Richard,
Louise.
Copy !req
423. Just the three of us,
alone on my space ship,
Copy !req
424. heading inexorably towards
the heart of the sun.
Copy !req
425. Because if I've got to go, Louise, if
I've really only got six months left,
Copy !req
426. like they say and if all my billions
can't buy me a moment's more time,
Copy !req
427. well, two things...
LOUISE SOBS
Copy !req
428. One, I'm not going alone
Copy !req
429. and two, I'm making every second of
those remaining months last as long
Copy !req
430. as I possibly...
Copy !req
431. can.
Copy !req
432. So, once again,
Copy !req
433. the HMS Beagle set sail 1831.
Copy !req
434. Which famous person was aboard?
LOUISE CONTINUES TO SOB
Copy !req
435. Darwin. It's Darwin. Darwin!
Copy !req
436. While she's thinking that over,
Copy !req
437. let's take a look at the scores.
Copy !req
438. Richard has 14,821 correct answers.
Copy !req
439. Louise is on 12,968.
Copy !req
440. So everything to play for.
Copy !req
441. The Beagle, 1831...
Copy !req
442. Just a few minutes left to think it over,
Louise, before I ask you for an answer.
Copy !req
443. Certainly no more than 10.
Copy !req
444. Half an hour tops.
Copy !req
