There was a sertain amount of traffic as we approached the ring road Okay, now Alex, last time I saw you was when you was doing that sing along. Yeah. You came. Sing a thong. Sing How long a thong was what they called it? Yes. Thank you for helping No, so just that was you singing how long has this been going on for Was it twenty four hour? It wasant to be twenty four hours, but it wass twenty five and three quarter hours because of an admin error Right because channel four. Yeah. because that was that the boat, al right? Well, it's because they they didn't realize that the program started at one at nine o'clock and one night and ended at ten something on the next night Right. So there's an extra hour and a bit there where it matters when you're singing the same song for over a day. Yeah. so you were looking at your watch thinking of this is twenty four hours. Yeah, we were ready to stop. I remember I turned up there because I only turned up with the kind of last rites of it, didnn't they? Yeah F your holiday in Spain. Yeah, That's right. Yeah. I'd arrived home from Spain that morning And they said, Ohah, can you go over to Ambassady Power Station where he's in a shop window Alex Hornys with his band, the Horn section And then accompany him to a studio and I thought it was going to be TV centre. It' miles away out in You have to go on a Statford, I think. Yeah. Yeah have a boat and then a bus and so you handed us over to Lee Francis. Well, I said, look, I'll go and You know You got sort half an hour with me I've just come home from Spain. But I got there and it was just chaos, what you might call backstage. Were you aware of that? No. No, I was front stage Be it seemed to me like the whole crew had been on for twenty four hours as well. They had. Yeah, which just nuts. I get there and it's just like Ganola bars, wrappers everywhere. that crisp was off their faces on crisps and granola bars.' not chaos, Harry. You can't just say crisps and granola bars. Banas. That's it. Yeah. That's it. going. It was like all it was was the back of a window. It was like a tiny crampedot. and I walk in and they're all like acting like this iss normal. and I'm thinking what's What goinging on here Yeah Well, I guess the boots on the other foot then, because People might say that about your shows, Harry. Really? Yeah, I think so. If you were the normal one in this situation, that's quite good. Yeah. Yeah, I did feel like I was the normal one for once How do you feel about AI, Alex? AI. yeah, prettyt good Pretty good indeed? Yeah. Yeah, Okay good. It's cool wouldn't it? Yeah, it's great. U they do say that it's it's fine. They use a lot of water Yes Not hot water, cold water. my wife's got a problem with my washing up sort of system they quite have the run the tank running She fills it up Yeah. But I have it just trickling. I think overall, pretty about the same. You know what my wife does what you do And It's not it's not effective. A also just sitting there in the dirty water? Well Do you rinse? Do you rinse on the other one I mean, the water was very dirty. I would Swap it, empty and fill it up again. I think we married the wrong women. Yeah. Wife swap for a week? Yeah. Okay. but a test period of a weekk. Y pase. We'd probably be long enough, wouldn't it? You'd know at the end of that. Yeah. What other habits does she have that Rachel? What other habits that I'm not happy about? Yeah. And this is a safe space Well, she won't do the bins. Yeah, No yeah, well no, that's standard. Okay U we have to shower twice a day or Do she have first bath and then you have the the water? no. Yeah. Do makeag to give you second bath. Yeah. When she's at home, there's for. Do you top it up with extra hot Sometimes she does that It depends Howong between me You know, sometimes she might go up at nine and say, I'm going out for my bath In which case you'll run a fresh bath. Okay. Yeah. But then other times you might have a bath at the normal time, I think maybe agree half time. In that time, I've got involved in a BBC four documentary. Yeah Oen BBC It seemed to p look good stuff wasn't madeay tonight on BBC four. And so I will be engrossed and actually come back. And by the time I've gone back the water is tap it so then I will take it up on myself to top it up I would let out some obviously first.

Early life, Horne was born in Chichester, West Sussex, to a father who worked as a general practitioner of the middle child of three boys. Solid. Horne originally attended a private school. What he was embarrassed about. Don't be embarrassed little one. take any advantage you can. Okay listen Life give you big juicy melons, You tuck in, hollow out the flesh, gorge on it, then stuff the empty skin full of mud, and sell it to the poor. Then Himmer went up to Cambridge. Not another one. Did you know Phil Wang? He was a member of the F Cambridge and Hor done a degree in broadcast journalism at Goldsmiths, University of London much on it. Yeahre pretty much on it. I'm not a musician Apart from that, tick, tic tick. Are you not musician? No, I get mistaken for one quite often, but the band tell me off if I get accused of being one. Oh English comedian a musician. yeah Yeah. Oh right, yeah, because you you employ musicians, but you write songs, right? Yeah, I' guess even comedian. I mean, it's sort of I hang around with comedians and musicians. Yes, all right. o. So you were the son of a GP. Was there any still? O course. Yes. Is he still alive?

Have you got a private pension I don't know That's one thing Rachel will do P me. Okay, It' suspicious of her if you're not completely on. J justust think the money is. Th thinkink how pretty she is. Yeah. I've got an image of her now. Yeah with a big forty six. She's wearing a badge She'sarly forty seven, she wouldll have taken the badge off that by know. So and you went you obviously a smart kid, academic and all that. yeah. Yeah, I loved school really well. Oh you liked it? I did actually, yeah Yeah, yeah, well, I was the middle boy of so I had an older brother and a younger brother at school with me, which is quite easy Yeah, when I had an oldest sister and Younger sister and a younger brother and a younger sister at school, but that didn't really help me. I was a bit bored by it. It must have been a bad way of saying that. Three younger threeree younger siblings. That must be. Yeah. U Then you went up to Cambridge, So obviously, you're really smart. Okay What did you didid you know Phil Wang? No, I didn't know Phil Wang. I think I'm younger than Wang. Older, I think Wang is younger than me I didn't know Phil. All right, Who was that we might have heard of? Tim Key. Al Keysy. Mart Watson. But obviously Tim didn't go there becausecause he told that story on Graam Norton. He was like a New Y. was he? He was like a cookie. Yeah, then we lived together after that Okay, yeah. and he really involved in Taskmasters. He was he was in the initial series, yeah. and then he's put on credits his task consultant and he sometimes claims to do some work on the show. Oh, okay does do some work on the show. And then you went to gooldsmith. She said all this. Yes, I know, but I'm just, you know I suppose you could call it trying to flesh it out. Right It's all missed about the melons section Its all content. ye And you did broadcast So what is b what is a course in broadcast journalism So one year It was only one year. It a master's And we were the first group of people who had done that degree at Goldsmiths and every single one of us passed with a distinction was not quite ready yet at a degree. Right. So So I made a documentary about foxes being killed in the city You can call up people and they'll come and kill your fox for you. Right? hard hitting I did a little wasort like you weren't approving of it at all what No, I was quite sort of neutral, o As a documentarian. did a little piece about a member of Hot Chip And pianos that play themselves. Is it Alexis? No, it's Al. okay. Doyle, right? He was at Cambridge with me And that was enough to get a distinction J. Okay, and then they tightened it up afterwards, presumably. Presumably. Yeah. But I liked Goldsmith. Yeah. when was that? because that was when was it in its real like peak producing all those YBAs a bit later than that, I suppose. What's the YBA? You know, the young British artists Damian Hearst and so forth They were the goesmiths, wasn't it? Right. Well, I was after Vick and Bob were on that New Cross High street Oh the Amishher Moms. Yeah. so I was sort of in there I'm a big fan of them as well. ye. So I went there, but they weren't there anymore. No, they'd stopped, didnn't they?

She has three normally three moments. Okay. But she's fine like that isnt she?

And we came on with a big came on with the big constable the haywayne frame picture of that Iot what he was singing I'm in with the in crrowd or something. Yeah, and I think they threw out, they had a whole load of ladies gloves that they threw. And I kind of thought, o Yeah, this is great and then there be some like long sort there was more sort of performance art that was a bit sort of confusing, but yeah, I felt like the dial had moved Yes I watched something by Joe Kent Walla. Is that his name? today. Who? I don't know. comian because I don't know who is. Well, he's a new comedian, not that new,. I was he Frank? He was his Yeah. ye.

Yeah should get him on But sometimes those guys who were sort of heavy character are a bit difficult to A they a bit difficult Here we are on we hurry. We You know, they don't they're sort of like Vic is a bit awkward as himself, I think. Yeah. Vic's ne never done Taskmaster nor have you. Have you asked him? Yeah Iike what reasons does he not?

That mad that you saw that? on YouTube? I didn't watch it live, obviously. I was gonna say What do you take me for? I didn't like it. Well, you were very young in it weren't you? When was that done It was two thousand seven. So you're very young. I mean, you look like you're nineteen or something I would' have been twenty nine. Yeah, c you've got brown, thick lush brown hair. Thanks, Aaric. And you have this character and I printed it off. This is the character that Gard. I mean, this was one night of my life when I was twenty nine. Yeah, which it' cast a long shadow. I don't remember anything about it. What was the character called? called well they accused, I think it was just Alex Hor,on you Yeah, I think you had to pick up saying I'm not really a computer person But you had to do a stand up giger it wasn't great. You were accused of being a prat digger Yes And stealing everyone's home. Everyone's h. And're spending your honk., I think it's slang for money. I think it's flang for money. Yeahah, that's what I've heard. But it seemed like a very odd Why did you do that even Why did you even do that? In two thousand seven, why did I do a thing for one night? Because it's a plugger Uhall I tell you why I did it? It's quite boring T later? That's what we love ones. The reason I did it Harry Yeah was I was doing a project. told I was trying to get word in the dictionary Yeah, this is what you like, isn't it? You have these little projects. I don't have these little projects. Yeah. You're sort of It's a funny thing, it's like, and it's just really to amuse yourself more than anyone, isn't it? No, it's to make money. Is it? No, it meuse myself a little bit Yeah For a long time, I've tried to get a word in the dictionary. W Was this with one eye on a sort show? I did do an Edinburgh show about it. Right So I was trying to get some words in the dictionary to see how hard that is. So anyt time I got offered a bit of press, I would do it and use words that don't exist. Right. And two of those words were prp digger and Honk. Were they? Yeah, Well they were. You didn't. It sort of worked. So I've tried to honk out there of slang, so I always say I haven't got your honk on me Oh okay, so that was so I fell for that. fell for that, and I was enjoying that. but I didn't know if you were No. But the I think the woman I know you say it, but the narrator doesn't say it does No, But even that meant it was out there on Sky News. So that's all evidence for English dictary. Did it go in the dationary? No, but yet. I went on countdown as a normal contestant, the old countdown before I as a comedian And I'm actuallyag to get the letters that speelt out honk And I had a longer word in my head, but I sacrificed that and said honk, meaning money Dent said Yeahep, that counts. Well, it's a word. honk is a word. Honk is a word, but a sound made by a goose. Yes U Yeah, but it's not in there with a slang definition. That's what I was trying to. It's so easier to get on the back of another word. Yeah, I'm going try that now. Okay. Yeah super I'm going to try and get the word supervarent in Supervarent. Yeah, like a really sort of mischievous character. And it would the example would be you. someomeone like you, right, who sort trying to cause Trouble It's yeah It's prolonged low level disruption. Yeah, but I'm low level. You think I'm high level Do you it's relatively high level, Yeah. Yeah Middle level. Mid level. Okay, I'll give you mid level And so you did Kend Dodd on Mastermind. Yeah. Do you ever meet Doddy? Yeah, twice you did. What were the ser? Circumstances? Tim and I went to see him twice Tice at the not Yeah sorry. Tim K went to see him with me twice Once at the Nottingham playlayhouse, I think I can't remember where the other one was. One time, we watched him for an hour and a half left. watched a game of football, came back and watched him for another hour and a half. Yeah. And we met him afterwards to get some advice. comedy and he had lots of his jokes written on his hands. He doesn't really he could never really in my experience, he never really gave proper advice or well, it would be like the stock stuff that he would say. Yeah, but he did say keep writing keep doing new stuff all the time, which he was doing that right till the end. Yeah, he was always putting in new gags. Yeah. My old tour manager, he went to see Doddy with his son similar thing and his son saying I'm cold Right. So they left. You don't want that An comedy show too often. No. So they they left in the interval, went home hour and a half to get his coat. and back and caught the end of the ye show Yeah. It was too long though, wasn't it? Yes. I mean, the second half is all about how long the show is. I think if you got rid of the referenceces to how long the show was, it wouldn't have been a long show. But they had an ambulance outside, they had coffee on tap It was I give one I've said this before, but I did Cardis in David's haall the night after him and I said, I was K. they said yeah, it was great. we went on so long that they locked the Multi story car park no and get the car out Yeah Yeah. he's a good subject for mastermind because he very rarely left the country. And all he did was stand up So it's quite easy Yeah H I she's not gonna take this Hello, Yes Right, yeah Right? yes, now I get it is Okay, I'll tell them. Well, there's been a product recall on some brands of Wafer Thin ham. Basically what's happening is the wind is catching the ham And there's a risk it can blow onto your face and so it will you can breathe in You can breathe out rather, but the ham acts as a sort of valve and stops you from from breathing in. Right. Sometimes it goes a bit high and then other times Ohh ye here comes another one You can breathe out, but. You're right, Harry. Anyway, just u So from now on, thick cut only. Sarah The concept of Taskmaster was created by Horn sometime in early two thousand nine. Perching. That's some honk right there. That's it. You're up to date with Alex Horn Some nice honk there.ight. Thank you, Sarah. Oh here comes the ye Sheould likes to I like thatver. tricks. Right. Do's up to you? Leave it there, take it now, takeake it now or leave it there and pick it up at the end. Which What would you like to do? I'd like to pick it up now please. pake it now. OkayK. Thank you, H. There may be some wetness on one end. Yeah, a little bit, little bit. Yeah. due to the way that she's made Do you know how much a twwix cost now? No, how much? eighty five p? seventy five p. Wow, not bad though. prettyty close. I think that's an offer, I think normally eighty five No it says RRP, so Okay. All right. Recommended retail pr. Yeah. Well there's two asterisks after that. J would say? Yeah Rachel, ye. Yeah, no, he's yeah. he's going on about. r really a lot of detail and very penantic about prices, Rachel. Yeah. Yeah, okay, yeah, usual place. See you later So listen, you,er Yeah. So we then sorry. So you will get of course the everywhere you go, I'm sure, Alex, everyone talks you about Task Master. This is your big thing, isn't it I suppose it is. Yeah. yeah. Yeah, it's absolutely a big thing. Very few people have An idea like that that has been caught on and has become a sort of way of life for some people People love it It's gone all around the world and Mbe what are you going to do next? Do it cast a shadow over you? Do it you still enjoy it or what? I do still enjoy it. And if we're I don't know, is it okay to talk honestly? talkal frankly, yes Well, yesterday, I went to Frimley Park Hospital where they use Taskmaster in the children's ward cheer up the children. So they've got videos which I've done videos specifically for it. R. And that did feel quite nice. Yeah. and there's no honk involved in that which is weird Um, that it has been allowed to be used for free. And so that felt good. So When things like that happen, you do think, okay, this is a good thing. I had a less happy experience when I was on my tour and they said, Oh, you know, would you come and I had to open a garden, a sick children's hospital. So I said to my friend Kevin, who's a short guy, five foot Why don't you dress up as the badger? We had this badger outfit. Yeah. And we walked ont to the Chren's ward and one child started screaming and saying takeake it away, get rid of it, or you know Right. M rid of the bader. I mean, mummy. So it seems like that had actually made them worse. Right. Well, I'm sorry to hear about the badger. And who was it? Kevin? Kevin, you Right but he wouldn't have He was ha very embarrassment Yeah doing sort twitchy creature moves. Yeah No, I'm not bored of Harry. I do still enjoy it because we have a different cast every time and they are the ones. Yeah yeah. But you have to come up with lots of different tasks the whole time. That's true. But I don't come up with jokes anymore, so this is my outlet. And it's sort of half a joke really. I come up with a little situation and the proper comics come in Finish it off I do I do enjoy it Great. that's good to hear. Great, greatreat news. If you come in close proximity to buffets or delicatesines, then you are at risk of ham attack When exposed to air currents, the wafer thin nature of the hand causes it to act as a hydrophoil, allowing it to take flight. It affixes to the upper face, acting as a valve, allowing air out, but none air in, causing the victim to slowly deflate into a pellet sized lump that is easily prey to verin such as cabibara Vold, State or Robert Genrick. And I think you'll agree that's no wafer ham to behave. You'll need a wafer thin ham preventative nose cage. A tiny cage affixes over the nose and is held in place by tiny claws that dig into the cheh, preventing the ham from causing nasal occlusion. These nose cages are one use only and can be crushed and thrown out with the trash Available in five colors in packs of twenty. Fh De Thank man pam and corned beef colors. Breathe threeree.

Catherine Ferry I know, yeah Why is that funny? It's normal up determined? Appropriate, yeah. in what a way veryery seaside. Oh sea, right. yeah. more of a port. Harry. No, I admit it's not perfect Or the port I'd say. Yeah. I mean if your name was Catherine Pier. That would be nothing for Fairy at all. Or no Or Jenny Where do you find fairies, Harry? The Jenny Iice creream cone. What? Where do you find fairies at ports. Seaside? Not really. You wouldn't B bathhe in the same water as a seeilink ferry Would you Anyway, that's not important. Katherine, I'm going to start basics.. What Do we call the British seaside? When you say British seaside, what are we thinking of?? So I'm thinking specifically about resorts Plac did you go for pleasure and leisure not the kind of Ferry port, we've established that. But I won't bring up. Saside resorts do have ferry ports sometimes. so let's aroundound the corner Park that one. Yeah, okay. Ramskate, suppose, yeah, Ramskate, G give you that Folks in. Dover overver used to be a big seaside resort. Yeah. yeah. Anyway. I like this expert a lot. Yeah. You're really pushing back, isn't? Yeah. Sorry about that. Yeah Yeah, so I'm talking about Cato resorts which were actually created for the benefit of people to go for there for fun and pleasure. Right. So yeah, not not ost as in, you know, crushing waves Big cliffs. kind of think, I'm looking at amusement arcades and the whole seafront experience, shelters, beach huts, that stuff. And when did those first come into being, would you say? Okay. so this year Scarborough is celebrating its four hundredth anniversary as the world's first modern seaside resort. Good four hundred years. What was sixteen something? twenty six sixteen twenty six. But they didn't have amusement arcades then. No, so where did they have? Punch and Judy? Not No didn't even have that. They had a mineral spring So they had water coming out of the cliffs And if you think people would go you just said it wasn't cliffs Well, okay, because this is the very beginning Okay. So this is where it all came from. We get seaside resorts because people started going to the coast For the sil water. Yeah, like they'd go to bath or Buxton or Harrog somewhere. Okay, so they start going there They go to drink the water and I go to I'm going to say it's not swimming in the water, dipping in the water. doctors would send them to see places like Brighton, Margate Waymouth King George III went to Wymouth when he was going a bit, you know. in order to take the Dip in the waters for the sake of their health. So when did that So you' got sixteen hundred, you got this spring water coming out of the cliff? eighteenth century, people are going to R Dunk themselves in the water and they miraculously cured. And is it as simple as lots of people there? Let's put a couple of amusement arcades or a Well it' The sort of the principle, yeah, lots of people, they do their bathing in the morning, bit bored after that really. So then you start people entrepreneurial, local people start building theatres libraries, it's all quite Thank Jane Austin. Yeah, kind of things that they would I haven't read any Jane Austen,' be honest. Yeah. I can't think Jane Austen. Sorry. Okay. I'm afraid' some Jane Austin. Yeah. ye So What you think situation? When Katherine says, thinkink Jane Austen, what are you thinking? Nothing at all. Long dresses? Yeah, long dresses. Igous. Andaras parasoles. Yeah walks along the seafront, but not very much there, really, just the sea view, the sea air. Right And then it's the Victorians that bring all their fun stuff. How do they get to the seaside at this point Well, in the eighteenth century by yeah, it's a good question. Yeah pretty Carriages, horses O, not I would have thought the railway was that that's the change. Yeah exactly. But even before that people start taking steamers. so steam the steam revolution comes in boats before it comes in trains. That was good From about eighteen fifteen, first passenger service to Maro. Ferries, I suppose isn't it? Yes.ly ferries sort of ferries, yeah.. I think I've saw that Turner film Oh yeah. and he leaves Chelsea, I think for he goes down the tabs on to Margate. Yeah there's the proof. Yeah. Can I say something I don in Afghan, please? I grew upar Bogn Regis. Oh. In fact, who was thebset was it? Pretty good. Which king was it that is the Regis of Bogna Regis 's yeah, it's relatively new K George is? Yeah, I think it iss one of the Georg' from ancient queen called B Aual word Bulner. Yeah. It was his last words I think, wasn't it one of the Georgia's? Oh, it was, wasn't it? Yeah The last words were on his death bed, Bger Bogner. You know that? Yeah. Yeah, of course you would being from Bogner. from near Bogner.. As Sarah said I I was born in Chichester So haaven't It's another Yeah area around that area. Yeah Mast Mast. Yeah Betworth Betworth on the way. Yeah. Very pretty. Yeah. So you've got when does it become sort of You know, what might we might think like you say the amusement. Yeah. Okay. so that's all becoming That's arriving with the Victorians, late Victorians. eighteen seventy one is the first bank holiday. Right. So that means that working people actually get time off time off and then There's more people going to the seaside, therefore, there's more money to be made. so that's when you get all the stuff like the Blackpool Twower and the Winter gardens and the aquariums and the piers and all that stuff. it's all nineteenth century. That's when Punch and Judy arrive. That's when ice cream sellers arrive All that stuff, all the seasidey stuff. Yeah that you think of. Where was the first per put up Well, the first pleasure peer eighteen fourteen ride on the Isle of Whitees. eighteen fourteen Right That's the first one, it's not the first pier because they had them for steamers or ferries. prior to that But that's the first one where they actually built in a kind of pleasure element, which at that stage was simply a promenade just so that you could walk along the hereier rather than it just being somewhere you get off the boat. And is this peculiar to Britain The seaside generally all Well, this idea of the British Saside, we have this idea the Brit Saside, you know, kiss me quick and all that and you know keep your hands to yourself. You know what? It is It is report you to HR. It all started here Sogans that used to get on hats. Yeah and still do brought you to a showarles not come across that word Yes, it all came from here. We exported it You know, everybody knows we exported football. We don't recognize that we invented the seaside holiday effectively. Walk in America. Yeah And all the peers and yeah, the Pers peers came from here. That's why they're in America. All of that stuff came from here.. We're just not very good at recognizing that because seaside places get a bit of a rough ride now because everybody's gone off. Where are? gam did they go down and are they coming up a bit? I think that I'd like to think they are coming up a bit. ye. It's patchy, you know, because there's a lot of poverty and deprivation around our seaside places now, which is ery sad. Yeah. I mean, there's a few aren't there that have managed to maintain You know, that bright and still driving, right But it's got a bigger community than that, hasn't it? It's not just based on the Yeah. But then you go to Blackpool and it is a bit of you know a dpal. that one I mean, it's hard to see why Black Pole, I mean, the sand, you got the lovely sand, but the weatherers, I mean in it. It can be be It can be. I have been there in beautiful sunshine. Okay, right. So I don't know how you regenerate Um Yeah, well, if I knew that I would be up there now trying to do it. Well, Margott have had a go with the the art gallery Yeah T seems to be I mean, I think these things take a long time. It does, because it's really difficult. It's in a patch of Margate and there's all the vintage shops and the cool places around it. and then you just go a couple of streets further off and doesn't feel like that. But my kids love a pear. I mean, particularly Trrighton peer, but we're going to sk nast at Christmas They love that, you know, just the Py pushes. Yeah yeah. all the old fashions Yeah. Yeahah. so yeah. I think Well peers are having a resurgence. Are they? Yeah. Okay. If you want to buy one Brighton Palace Pier is on the market Backpool North Pier Should we buy one annex together Dady pair? Yes I got that my Dad goes there quite often for the murmurations at Bryant Palace Per, and he works for the RSPB occasionally and demonstrates the murmurations. Oh, he's the birdbush, of course. ye Yeah. Do does the peregrines at Chester Cathedral. Right U doesn't matter P Because I think Jim Davidson bought a peer, didn't he He bought one did in Hastter. No, Great Yarmouth. Great Yarmouth. Yeah. The Wellingtoner at Great Yarmouth. Yeah. he did. I don't know how you'd turn a peer around They have a habit of burning down, don't they? They do odd because there was like water. Yeah, it's like you can't get the water to the right place. That's too low, wouldn't it? Yeah, the water to get higher. And so if you've got the petrol in the right place. How much is a per How much are we looking at? I don't think the prices have actually even been given out, I think used to be a pound in it for Bright and Piar, then you inherit the Building work. Yeah You you've got the overheads, you can't just sit on it Yeah I paint that hereer You've got to paint it, you' got to maintain it. I'm out. For that reason, I amm out. Okay, well, Catherine, so you're predicting a sort of mixed future for the British seaside I'd really like people to just take another look at it You know? go back and actually look at what's there because it's actually a really part of our A really important part of our national story, national heritage. because you know, we've kind of got to grips with industrial heritage. We kind of like visiting a mill you know, seeing how our ancestors worked and all the grime and squalor and all that stuff, but actually where they had their holidays and where they went and let their hair down at Blackpool, up the tower, you know, all of that stuff Um There's all these amazing buildings there and all this fantastic heritage and We don't really kind of take good enough care of it, so I'm kind of on a mission to get people back to appreciate these places. Yeah. well, I love the British Seas and I spend a lot of time there down in the North Cank coast. Oh nice. Like you say Hbay, Margate, Witable is a favourite Andor pebbles, Gatherine Well probably sand for the feet, but I grew up in North Devon and well there was my nearest speech when I was growing up was at Westwward Hoe, which is you have to walk across a great big pebble ridge to get there. So I do have slight soft spot for pebble. the information marketplace. Yeah I want aing with a anam It's got an exclamation. See in the North Cake cooast, we're spoiled because we've got painful pebbles to walk across and then when the tie goes out Thick mud Nice. And I think Katherine, I'm right, youre thinking you've got a book out Fancy that. Yes, I do. What a lovely looking thing. Seaside architecture by Catherine Ferry, which is interesting, isn't it?
