0:14:48 > 0:14:50So it's about the news and about politics,
0:14:50 > 0:14:54but that doesn't necessarily mean it challenges very much

0:14:58 > 0:15:00But if you listen to The Now Show,
0:15:00 > 0:15:05which obviously all intelligent people do, you do challenge, you...

0:15:34 > 0:15:37- I'm wrong about jokes all the time. - Really?
0:15:37 > 0:15:40Um, there are always jokes, every week, where everyone's going,
0:15:40 > 0:15:43"Mm, not sure about that," which are great.
0:15:43 > 0:15:46And then there are other jokes, everyone thinks,
0:15:46 > 0:15:48"Yeah! That's a certainty!" And it's...
0:15:48 > 0:15:49HE WHISTLES SOFTLY
0:15:49 > 0:15:52Really? So the brilliant thing about it is, you can never tell.
0:15:52 > 0:15:56- That's quite reassuring. - You can never tell, yeah.- Yeah.

0:23:12 > 0:23:16And finally, Clemency again, please.
0:23:16 > 0:23:19I'm not quite sure how to, um... describe you.
0:23:19 > 0:23:22I mean, you're a violinist, a musician, a presenter.
0:23:22 > 0:23:25I mean, you do all sorts of stuff. And you seem to be rather good at all of it.
0:23:25 > 0:23:29What made you want to play the violin so badly when you were little?
0:23:29 > 0:23:32Normally, it's the parents saying to the child, "You must play the violin!"
0:23:32 > 0:23:35Such a weirdo. I mean, such a little freak.
0:23:35 > 0:23:37Clearly, my mum was like, "What does this mean?"
0:23:37 > 0:23:39Cos she, by her own admission, is tone deaf.
0:23:39 > 0:23:42My two older half-brothers, who I grew up with,
0:23:42 > 0:23:45neither of them either learnt an instrument, so who knows what it was?

0:23:47 > 0:23:49And you did the Suzuki Method?
0:23:49 > 0:23:53Yeah, I was incredibly lucky - my mum heard about this organisation
0:23:53 > 0:23:56and had rung, you know, endless motorcycle dealerships
0:23:56 > 0:23:59and then she was about to give up and say, "Right, that's it."
0:23:59 > 0:24:01Hang on, she rang endless motorcycle...?
0:24:01 > 0:24:03Someone said, "There's this thing called Suzuki,"
0:24:03 > 0:24:05she looked it up in the phone book -
0:24:05 > 0:24:08endless motorcycle dealerships, she was thinking, "This is clearly a run to nothing."
0:24:08 > 0:24:11And then got through to this absolutely magical woman
0:24:11 > 0:24:14called Helen Brunner, who really, totally changed my life.
0:24:14 > 0:24:16And Helen's philosophy is just that, you know,
0:24:16 > 0:24:19you learn when you're very young cos it's like a language
0:24:19 > 0:24:20and music is like a language.
0:24:20 > 0:24:22And if you learn it when you're little
0:24:22 > 0:24:24and you're learning how to speak and communicate,
0:24:24 > 0:24:27then music will be part of your life, all your life.
