-And I sang it in quite a camp way.

-You didn't(?)

0:09:000:09:04

I did.

0:09:040:09:06

-You have to imagine me as Will Scarlet with an unfeasibly large feather hat.

0:09:060:09:12

-Would you like me to start now?

-Yeah

0:09:120:09:14

# Then a brave and handsome man came riding through the woods

0:09:140:09:17

0:09:170:09:20

# We moved our village to the woods and hid amongst the trees

0:09:320:09:35

Andrea, you are the weakest link. Goodbye.

0:09:350:09:38

I'm really upset I didn't get the opportunity to speak to Anne because I'd written her horoscope

0:09:440:09:50

and I was very interested to know if she had a line of fame.

0:32:530:32:58

Cheryl, you are the weakest link. Goodbye.

0:32:580:33:02
