The Rest Is Entertainment is presented by Octopus Energy. Now, remember, Octopus Energy do something really great. If they've got your birthday, when you call in for whatever reason to Octopus, the hold music is the number one selling single from that year, the year of your 14th birthday.
And we discovered, didn't we, that yours was The Only Way Is Up by Yaz and the Plastic Population. We're going to discover mine now.
Now, yours is... I Just Called to Say I Love You by Stevie Wonder.
Why did hosts mention Octopus Energy and EasyJet at the start of the show?
Okay. Yes. I prefer yours. Do you think it's weird to have whole music which is I Just Called to Say I Love You? Because, listen, and you know that I love Octopus Energy, but I will rarely ring them to tell them I love them.
Yeah.
Yeah, I would usually, but, you know, I just want to chat to them about something to do with my energy. Yeah. And I don't mean that sort of energy.
Well, look, they can but surface the number one single of that year for you. And you can always choose not to have the music you can choose for. No, but I think only animals do that, as I've said, and I want to go on the record of saying that.
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 questions and answers edition.
I'm Marina High and I am Richard Osman. Lots of lovely questions. Thank you listeners as always for sending them in. Should we get straight into it?
Well, we're not going to because we have some any other business.
Whoa, are you kidding me?
Courtesy of Russell T. Davis.
The Russell T. Davis. Yes. What does Russell have to say?
Russell says, Dear Richard and Marina, I love you. I literally love you more, Russell. But I have to insist, the greatest Chekhov's gun we were talking about this last week is surely the claw. First seen in Toy Story in 1995. We then had to wait 15 years for the payoff in Toy Story 3 when the claw descends, and there's a spoiler coming here, and saves everyone from the fiery furnace. The height of cinema. I actually said the claw out loud. Bless. Okay.
Yeah, he's right.
Yeah.
To be fair.
I'll hand it to you.
Yeah, a 15-year Chekhov's gun.
15 years is amazing.
That is a long range rifle.
Yes.
Yeah.
Okay. Very good. We stand corrected.
I have a small, any other business from a Russell P. Davis. I don't.
No. Do you have a question for me?
I have a question from Jamie Miller. Absolutely no indication of a middle name. Jamie W. Miller. I'm going to say.
You can't just fit him with a W. You can't.
What's he going to do, Sue? Okay. That'll be a court case I'd like to see. Jamie says, June part three and Avengers Doomsday are both releasing on the 18th of December. One, bold attempt at getting young people into the cinemas or hubristic. Two, who will come out tops at the box office. Three, is there a better portmanteau than Doomsday?
Hot Mantos didn't even exist. Like all of the great traditions, this has been going for about three years because of Barbenheimer. You'll remember the story of how those two films was going to release on the same day.
