0:23:18 > 0:23:22Is it because there are now so many more, at least there seem to be,

0:24:07 > 0:24:11And Nelson writes to Emma, he says,
0:24:11 > 0:24:15"Dear Emma, I love you so much I can't touch my pudding."
0:24:15 > 0:24:17LAUGHTER
0:24:18 > 0:24:20But I do think that's honest!
0:24:20 > 0:24:22Do you know, I'm not often struck speechless, but...
0:24:22 > 0:24:24LAUGHTER
0:24:24 > 0:24:26This is like, you know, in the gladiators,
0:24:26 > 0:24:28they fed them a really nice meal and then they fed them to the lions,
0:24:28 > 0:24:32so you're being really nice to me and now you're going to give me really hard things.
0:24:32 > 0:24:34Yes, that's true. Absolutely true.
