Chapter 1: Who are the stars joining the new season of Celebrity Traitors?
The rest is entertainment is presented by Octopus Energy. Admin tends to require a little bit of encouragement. So submitting your meter reading now earns you a spin and the prospect of being quietly rewarded for it.
Yeah, you spin, you can win OctoPoints, which you can spend in the Shoptopus. The Shoptopus. I mean, fair play. Fair play.
whoever refuses a wheel and the opportunity to get something for nothing but it's absolutely one of the mainstays of game shows wheels because it has a randomness to it and i've spent like weeks and weeks sitting just working on the wheel just go okay that's an extra thousand that would be two thousand then you work out how many bad squares there are by the way there's no bad squares on the octopus one but it's a mesmerizing thing so addictive i know watching it you want to keep doing it they slow it down slightly and then when you watch the contestants like lean
in like it's going to make a difference and like lots of things with octopus energy they're very good at gamifying lots of the sort of just normal stuff that you have to do with your energy provider and getting a free spin and winning octopoints it's a very good example of that with octopus you submit your meter reading you get a spin and a chance at octopoints for money off your bill or to spend in the most aptly named shoptopus

Chapter 2: Why is 'Linger' by the Cranberries experiencing a resurgence?
Very well. So nice to see you.
It is very nice to see you. And I'm very pleased with the timing of our show this week because there was a huge announcement over the weekend, was there not?
Um, yes.
Yeah.
Celebtrators, that lineup. I was trying to, I was going to do a joke, but come on. Yeah, so we're going to talk our way through that celebrity traitors lineup and Tilly, who is going to win.
Oh my goodness. Okay, you can tell me that. And we're also going to talk about Linger, a 33-year-old song by the Cranberries, which is sort of everywhere at the moment. We're going to talk about when a song blows up like that in that way, sort of how and why it happens.
Yep. And also, we are going to get Marina's tip on who's going to be the new Bond.

Chapter 3: What factors contribute to a song's sudden popularity?
Yeah, just sell shares and whoever I say, but I have got a tip.
There have been developments. I did my last ever House of Games this week. That was a bit of fun. Oh my God! Did you actually? And I saw Michael Sheen presenting as well.
Oh, the presenter of Michael Sheen's House of Games.
Yeah, Michael Sheen's House of Games.
Michael Sheen's House of Games, who is also...
In Celebrity Traitors.
The show that is now so big that its casting announcement gets a massive BBC promo.
And we can lead our podcast with it.
Yes, yeah.

Chapter 4: Who is the current favorite to become the next James Bond?
And it was just after we'd recorded our Breakfast TV thing for our members, you know, our history of Breakfast TV. And there was an unbelievable story about her and Michael Parkinson, David Frost. And afford all being sent each other's salary details. And I said, Angela, that can't have been true. She said, not only was that true, she said, there's so much worse that I could tell you.
I'm not going to tell you everything she said because she said, I recorded everything that happened. She said, I've got tape recordings. I've got notes of everything that happened. If ever I write a book, then I'm going to put all of it in there. So if any publisher's listening, Angela Griffin has all the stuff.
Can we get Angela Griffin a book deal immediately?
Immediately.
Because I want to hear, any breakfast TV snake pit is my favourite happy place.
Yeah, but for non-members on that, essentially those four big beasts were all sent each other salary details.

Chapter 5: What is taking so long in the Bond casting process?
And that was just one of the mess ups of that show.
Yeah, and their salaries were not the same as each other. I wonder if you can guess which gender was paid an awful lot more than the other one.
It was the 80s, although even now. Okay, we better get on Celebrity Traitors.
Yeah.
Chop me a thesaurus because I'm going to need new words of saying incredible booking. I have to say, shout out to the people, as always, who when this list came out said, there aren't any celebrities on it.
Okay? I know.
I'm so sorry that you don't participate in contemporary entertainment culture. But you don't need to advertise it. Please feel free for us not to hear from you about this. There are celebrities on this list.
Yeah, shout out to the Who crew.

Chapter 6: What insights does Marina have about the new Bond candidate?
Oh my God, I can't stand it. There are celebrities on this list and there are some absolute bangers in here.
It's interesting, with 21 people, you start looking through it and you go, okay, that's good. And then you look through it again and you think, oh, I've missed them. There were so many. Yeah, yeah.
And you think of all the potential alliances and potential buddy movies.
How should we do it? Should we just sort of go through them? Because some people might not know the whole list, but certainly if you do know it, you'll want to know who's going to win.
There's a lot of comedians.
Yes. Too many, I think.
It's interesting that they've put both Rob Becker and Romesh Ranganathan in, who obviously do very, very many things together. But I sort of feel now, light entertainment, it's like, Romesh is now, it's almost like he's one of the building blocks of life itself.

Chapter 7: How do sync deals impact the music industry today?
You know when you're on a planet, they say, well, there is water, so life can be supported. In light entertainment now, it's like, is Romesh on there?
okay life can be supported here's the problem with Romesh is he's brilliant yeah and he's brilliant at everything he does and he's a really really nice guy but yes it's one of those things it has a ubiquity to it I think the interesting thing with Rob and Romesh is they think we'll put them in it's always fun to put a partnership Like a double act or a husband and wife.
I don't think enough people know they're a partnership. I don't think enough people have seen Rob versus Ramesh and those things. So I think it's just two more comics to go with Joe Lycett and James Acaster. All very different comics.
But I don't... Yeah, they can't do that thing where they make one of them a traitor and one... I think it would... I actually think that's too obvious. Yeah, I can't think... I don't think they can do that thing where they make one the traitor and one not.
But the problem is, because you've got nothing to hold on to in those early weeks, people will assume they've done that.
Yes.
Anyway, so it's slightly a hiding to nothing. I mean, Romesh would be delighted to be voted out after a day he's got. He's so busy.

Chapter 8: What predictions are made for the future of Celebrity Traitors?
But that is the thing with Romesh. He does do everything, but he does everything well.
Yeah.
You know, it's... What are you going to do? Acaster will be fascinating. Anyone who has a public image which feels a slightly heightened version of themselves, which I think James slightly does, although it's not a particularly heightened version of himself, I think it's fascinating to see them after a couple of days in that house. I think, you know, the same way that we have with Joe Wilkinson.
But yeah, I think having four male comics there, I think is... I understand why you're not going to say no to James. You're not going to say no to Joe and then the Rob Romish thing as a partnership. But I think actually Joanne McNally might be the most successful of those comics. Yes. Because I think... Fewer people know her. I mean, lots of people do know her.
She's got a lot of profile in the last couple of years. But I think people will really fall in love with her and I think she won't take any nonsense from anyone.
She could be a bit of a dark horse, I think. A bit like, actually, Sharon Rooney. I think she could be a bit of a dark horse.
Yes, everyone who meets Sharon Rooney falls in love with her.
Yeah, and I think she could be very, very good.
Ingrid, when the list came out, just went, I cannot believe... they've got Sharon Rooney. I was like, yeah, no, I think it's, I think it's good booking. She goes, but why would she do this? It's really, really interesting that she would do that, you know, to write literary novels. And then I said, I think, I think that is Sally Rooney. Oh my God. Yeah.
