At that point, I think, didn't have a kip in the car.
Why not have a kip now?
But I don't actually, you know, by this, you know, the moment passes, doesn't it?
So I spent the rest of the afternoon doing kind of the sort of chores that sometimes you don't want to do.
I mean, work chores, not cleaning.
Not grouting the toilet, you know.
And so I'm doing a big event at Kew Gardens and they wanted me to do a little voiceover for an ad they're doing.
So I thought, look, this is a perfect opportunity to do something like that.
And it took me forever because they'd sent me a text to read and it said, cannot be any longer than 30 seconds.
The first time I read it, it was 35 seconds.
Oh, God, I've got to get a bit quicker than that.
It took me about 12 or 13 goes to get this bloody text down to 29.5 seconds.
So that took about half an hour.
You mean maybe I was speaking slower?
oh i love the gardens they're all right you know we can't use this but how on earth can we tell mary mary might have a problem what do we do can we tell someone i tell you what i was doing richard osmond's doing it so i was saying um you can talk to me and tom holland about ancient rome and there'll be a tv moment with richard osmond so i hope he's grateful for this
I got a thank you.
I got a thank you, but I had said, because I'd done a previous version, which then they'd changed.
They obviously were cutting down the time.
So I said, I don't think I can do another take of this.
It's kind of this or nothing.
