What is the main topic discussed in this episode?
The Rest Is Entertainment is presented by Octopus Energy. Now, can I tell you something cool that Octopus Energy do if you ring them and you have to be put on hold? Because they know who you are. They know your birthday. The Hold Music is the best-selling single from the year that you were 14. That's quite cool, isn't it?
Yes.
I love this. Exactly. I've looked into it for you. Do you want to know the best-selling single in the year that you turned 14? So this would be your hold music on Octopus Energy. It is Yaz, The Only Way Is Up. What do we think to that?
Well, Yaz and the plastic population.
Yaz and the plastic population. Oh, of course. Do you know what? I sometimes think the plastic population do not get their due.
They don't get their credit, do they? You know, I need to ring into Octopus now and just listen to it. You can choose to say, oh, I don't want to have any hold music at all.
Absolutely, yeah. You can do whatever you want.
Okay, what animals, what monsters... Okay, it might be a really bad song, but what monsters don't choose to listen? I have to say... To the song.
Yeah.
I love that they do that.
I hope we're going to do this for me in another episode. But then we find out if I... Yeah, I think I'm considerably older than you, aren't I?
Not that much. What, it's like two, three years?
Yeah. Yeah, you'll be saying, and the best-selling single in the year that you were 14, Richard, it's Cumberland Gap by Lonnie Donegan. This episode is brought to you by EasyJet. You must have had that moment when you're watching a film, but you completely tune out the plot and start daydreaming about the location instead.
The bright Mediterranean colours on screen suddenly make the British weather look even greyer.
And sometimes it doesn't even take the Technicolour. Put on a black and white thriller set on the Italian coast and I'll enjoy the mystery, but part of me is already working out which flight gets me nearest, preferably with less identity theft and bluer skies.
For me, it is Greece. Once the rumours started that a certain star-studded musical was returning to the islands, that was all I needed. I was thinking about departures.

Hello and welcome to this episode of The Rest Is Entertainment with me, Marina Hyde.
And me, Richard Osborne. Hi, Marina. Hello, Richard. How are you? I'm all right. I wouldn't want to be entertainment right about now with the grilling we're about to give it.
Absolutely. We're preparing to run the rule over it all. We've got quite a few fun things to talk about.
We have. We're going to talk about... AI in books. Some people are using it. A couple of high-profile examples of that. A couple of Big Fools on the way. We're talking about that. We are talking about Big Fools, this amazing story. If you know the story, you're going to love it. If you don't know the story, I think you might love it even more. The star of The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives and the new season of The Bachelorette has just brought both of those franchises down in one go. We're talking about how?
What a takedown.
Shall we start with AI in books? We've got two stories we want to talk about. Shall we start with my story? Because you want to talk about Matt Goodwin.
I hope our audience understands that this is a story I find impossible to take seriously at any level.
You've virtually been bouncing in your seat all morning because you wanted to talk about it. But Mia Ballard, who is an American author, self-published author, who wrote a book called Shy Girl, which is, I don't know, listeners, if you enjoy your femgore horror, but it's firmly in the femgore horror genre, about a character who is kidnapped and kept as a pet.
