Gyles Brandreth

Good night.

Rosebud is a Plain Jane production produced by Harriet Jane, hosted by me, Giles Brandreth, with music by Phil Leppard, and recorded this week at the J.W.

Marriott Grosvenor House in London's Park Lane.

Room service.

Give me an M. Give me an O. Give me an R. Give me an E. Give me more.

Hello, this is Giles Branworth and I'm full of joy because it's June.

I'm also full of joy because I'm joined, as ever, on a Tuesday by my friend and colleague, the producer of Rosebud, Harriet Jane.

Hello, Harriet.

Is June a good month for you?

It is.

This coming Saturday will be the birthday of Harriet Jane.

And I'm not seeing her on her birthday, but you've got lots of family people because it's a Saturday.

You're seeing lots of family people, I think, over the weekend.

Very good.

Because we're seeing each other quite a lot at the moment because we're rehearsing for our Edinburgh show.

And I was hoping to have a birthday lunch with Harriet to celebrate her birthday.

But I have to put this on the back burner because she's not really wanting to have any celebration at all until we've learned the lines, until we've learned the songs, we've got the moves right.

We can't quite believe that we're doing some informal tryouts

in only a couple of weeks' time.

I think it's two weeks today or two weeks tomorrow.
