What is the main topic discussed in this episode?
The rest is entertainment is presented by Octopus Energy.
Now, we're going to be talking about an expression which I hadn't heard till seven seconds ago, which is someone getting their flowers. Can you tell me what that means?
Well, it means like you've been around a long time, but people suddenly think, hang on a second, you're amazing and you should be recognised.
So you're finally getting your due. You're getting your flowers.
And you're being garlanded. Now, I would say someone like this is someone like Jean Smart, who plays the lead in Hacks. She plays Deborah Vance. OK, Jean Smart is extraordinary. She did a huge amount of TV and stage work. And there was a sense that she was sort of always brilliant. But then this one role came along, Deborah Vance in Hacks. They literally just give her the Emmy every year now. She gets her flowers every year. She gets her Emmy every year. As we always talk about Octopus's customer service, your account's run by about 10 or 12 people. You've got a small team.
They know who you are.
Yes, and they are permitted to send flowers every week to a customer who might just be going through something, whatever it is. So they can recognise it's not an apology. It's just because someone was going through something and you get your flowers.
Another example of they seem to do business in a very interesting and customer-focused way. Imagine if Jean Smart is an octopus customer, might get her flowers twice.
Yeah, every week.
Hello, and welcome to this episode of the Restors Entertainment Questions and Answers Edition. I'm Marina Hyde.
And I'm Richard Osman. Hello, Marina.
Hello, Richard. How are you?
I'm all right. Hello, listeners. How are you? Okay, good to hear. Oh, I'm sorry to hear that. Shall we start straight away with a question? As you know, I always like a question asker with a good name. And Stefan Rocket.
Oh, my God.
has stepped up to the plate thank you stephan rocket and stephan says i was watching coronation street and they were having a breakfast of chalky crocodile cereal and wallumstow's bread are these fake brands and packaging made up just for the scene or do they have a warehouse full of different brands for use as and when they need them
This is called graphic prop design, this whole section of things. There are so many of these and they're all really good. Corrie's got a lot because, you know, it's about everyday life. And so they've got, they've always had like Dempsey's crisps, the beers, Newton Riddle, obviously. Kenner's chocolate because, you know, they've got the cabin. So, you know, it's like a newsagent. You have to go in. Although, funnily enough, Ken Barlow always used to go in and say, Guardian, please, Rita.
Yeah.
And Freshco, the supermarket. In fact, we've got all these things. They have Hire magazine, you know, instead of Hello magazine. Simpsons have Duff Beer. You'll often see things on computers, like a pear instead of an apple. Sometimes people – I'm moving out from Beyond Corrie in graphic design because, I mean, I saw once on an episode of Grey's Anatomy someone ordering a goober.
Right, okay.
Sometimes they just make it just a little... It's like it's so phoned in. The hotel's called The Five Seasons. When they do that, I find it a little bit not so great.
I'm staying at the hilt off.
Yeah. But it can be the most incredible art. And there's someone who I'm absolutely obsessed with called Annie Atkins, who is a graphic prop artist. I know I've said it before. If I haven't done what I've done, I would love to have worked in props, I find it. And I would have loved to have done graphic props, particularly props. there's still time there's still time we all need a side hustle I know there is but she is the Diane of this Annie Atkins she's a graphic designer and so many shows have a graphic designer working on them and she started on the Tudors which is Showtime's big kind of prestige series about the Tudors and she didn't really know anything about the period And so you're being given these jobs like he wants his wife's head cut off and that would have had to have happened on, you know, there would have to be some sort of warrant or royal order.
