• 1:02
  Speaker 1: I am literally the first person I've ever heard say
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: the people of Paris are stunning.
• 1:06
  Speaker 2: I sat there right and as gotten not be because
• 1:09
  Speaker 2: I'm like people watching. So we sat there for a
• 1:10
  Speaker 2: couple of hours. The clothes and this style and the
• 1:14
  Speaker 2: way people present and the different and it's something different
• 1:17
  Speaker 2: to Auckland, New Zealand, all the different nationality. It's all
• 1:21
  Speaker 2: over the show. So I sat there quite happy, people
• 1:24
  Speaker 2: gazing four back back. The Mighty Kneecap drove all the
• 1:28
  Speaker 2: way down to Plymouth for five hours to watch these
• 1:33
  Speaker 2: the band Meecap hit double D. You actually know who
• 1:38
  Speaker 2: they are or were you just watching them because they
• 1:40
  Speaker 2: share your frustration about Palestine? No? No, Katie, my partner,
• 1:45
  Speaker 2: my confident. What do you call collaborator? She showed me
• 1:49
  Speaker 2: the movie about six months ago, and the movie stunning.
• 1:52
  Speaker 2: They're actually acting in it. Those guys, I'm like, this
• 1:54
  Speaker 2: is awesome. The music's great. These guys are I love
• 1:57
  Speaker 2: the story, got the record, listen to the record that
• 2:00
  Speaker 2: I really like this, and then as it developed on
• 2:03
  Speaker 2: it say, oh wow, your troublemakers too. This is even funny.
• 2:06
  Speaker 2: You know. It was music first, cinema and the music first,
• 2:10
  Speaker 2: and then it went on.
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: It's quickly talk about sport. What do you think?
• 2:12
  Speaker 2: That's Sky TV? I'm here for Sky.
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: TV's purchase of three Must Make TV and it cuts
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: TV and z's lunch right TV? Who TV hope they don't.
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: They don't matter anymore.
• 2:23
  Speaker 2: What does this do for the strength of Sky and
• 2:25
  Speaker 2: their negotiations with Netburne New Zealand and Rugby News. That's
• 2:28
  Speaker 2: what I mean, just got left in the dust. They
• 2:30
  Speaker 2: had done it. So when Sky Sports sit down with
• 2:33
  Speaker 2: those two big majors and netburn New Zealand and Ragby
• 2:36
  Speaker 2: New Zeland and go okay. So we've now got a
• 2:39
  Speaker 2: direct fleet free to wear platform that we control right
• 2:43
  Speaker 2: over the top. We're the umbrella. So we can give
• 2:46
  Speaker 2: you eyeballs for nothing. We can make people pay, we
• 2:49
  Speaker 2: can cross promote between our pay for view and our
• 2:53
  Speaker 2: regular free to air. People also know TV three. This
• 2:57
  Speaker 2: is not Duke or Sky Sports one open who knows
• 3:03
  Speaker 2: this is TV three. People feel that they know that
• 3:06
  Speaker 2: and it doesn't mean much as far as changing the channel.
• 3:09
  Speaker 2: What people have that comfort and we know that Sky
• 3:12
  Speaker 2: have gone through all sorts of dramas or losing subscribers,
• 3:15
  Speaker 2: gaining subscribers. Spark have turned up gave them huge competition,
• 3:19
  Speaker 2: then inadvertently opened up the concept of free to wear,
• 3:22
  Speaker 2: which has been a boon for some sport. But they've
• 3:24
  Speaker 2: read in the wave right the way through. So this
• 3:28
  Speaker 2: is a considered move. What happens with NECKBA New Zealand
• 3:32
  Speaker 2: and Rapeing New Zealand next based on this acquisition of
• 3:36
  Speaker 2: Fascinated and what it does for both of those.
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: Listen, it's so nice to have you back.
• 3:40
  Speaker 2: Oh thanks, great to see you again. Jeez, you're here,
• 3:43
  Speaker 2: and I'm also I'm struck by your energy levels despite
• 3:46
  Speaker 2: the fact that you only landed in the country about
• 3:48
  Speaker 2: what forty morning and I came straight home, turn of

  Speaker 2: the TV and watched endless sport till about nine, went
• 3:56
  Speaker 2: to bed. God up carried. I don't believe in jetly, Okay,
• 3:59
  Speaker 2: I just don't listen to it. I'm in control of
