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