:03:24. > :03:26.well, he said you're women, right about two women

:03:27. > :03:34.And we said, OK, we could do flat sharing.

:13:25. > :14:10.A lot of people have criticised me for writing music

:14:11. > :14:19.I take for granted that what I write has got a meaning.

:14:20. > :14:23.I think a composer should be able to take that for granted,

:14:24. > :14:28.otherwise he should not be in the business at all.

:14:29. > :14:42.To do something which is civilised in intent, and I hope in result,

:14:43. > :14:46.at the top end of what is possible in a civilisation, what a privilege.

:14:47. > :15:20.Everything you read in the paper about how hard

:15:21. > :15:23.the Prime Minister has to work is bit of a myth, really.

:15:24. > :15:26.This is put up by the press office as a matter of course.

:16:00. > :16:20.I can't get over a girl like you, so turn out the lights

:16:21. > :16:31.I hope Sergeant Major is in good mood.

:16:32. > :16:41.Our cordon bleu cook is in an Italian mood.

:16:42. > :16:43.And he has conjured up for you spaghetti

:16:44. > :16:54.Maybe that was the only way to punish me properly.

:16:55. > :16:57.Maybe it wouldn't have been enough to tell me in private

:16:58. > :17:06.The most quick way was to bundle you back through

:17:07. > :17:12.your own doorway and into the safety of this hallway, but I'm afraid

:17:13. > :17:14.that in my anxiety to defend you, I was over vigorous.

:17:15. > :17:17.Speed was the essence of the matter, but it has

:17:18. > :17:19.caused you some shock and I am very sorry.

:17:20. > :17:35.It was a yea my lord, but I don't believe a word of it.

:18:16. > :18:29.Viewers often see me and my co-announcers sitting like this.

:18:30. > :18:31.And they may think we are in a quiet,

:18:32. > :18:37.But in fact, as you can see, our studios are pretty

:18:38. > :18:41.busy, and they are like this every day of the year.

:18:42. > :18:43.There were lots of breakdowns, particularly at the

:18:44. > :18:48.beginning, because, I mean, the cameras were unreliable.

:18:49. > :18:50.We frequently lost all vision on a show

:18:51. > :18:53.or something, so the announcer would have to go in and apologise and tell

:18:54. > :19:01.From now until after five o'clock this afternoon, television cameras

:19:02. > :19:05.take you into the heart of London to watch and share.

:22:12. > :22:25.# There's nothing you can do that can't be done...

:22:26. > :22:28.# Nothing you can sing that can't be sung.

:22:29. > :22:46.We celebrate with it, and we mourn with it.

:22:47. > :22:57.I need music, and I don't mean just professionally.

:22:58. > :22:59.I think you will find to some extent, pretty well

:23:21. > :23:39.I wasn't everybody's choice to be on Radio 1, because

:23:40. > :23:42.there was the question of whether I would fit into all this.
