The Days Inbetween Page #2

Okay.

Can you please not touch anything?

Alright then, well I'm just going to go

so... nice to meet you, Jason.

Bye.

Thank you.

Basically we're doing an in depth look

at the people we hear

each day on the radio.

Uncovering the faces behind the voices.

First, if you could tell me how

you got to where you are now.

Sure, saves you the research.

Funny.

I've always been interested in

what people have to say I guess.

I started off hosting a chat show

on student radio when I was at Uni.

So you studied Journalism.

I studied Philosophy and Anthropology.

Not necessarily subjects that guarantee

you an easy start at the job market.

I studied what I liked, not what people

think looks good on my CV.

How did you get your current job?

It was right after Uni actually.

London 91.2 was just

starting in those days

and they were looking for fresh voices.

That's how it happened.

You've been doing your show

for about 2 years now.

However you came into the spotlight

about 4 months ago when you

insulted our Mayor on air.

Everyone's making way too much of that.

He fell out of one of his new buses,

of course I'm going to mention that.

You are quite a character.

Since then, the listening

figures of your show

have gone up steadily.

Yes.

However, many people

say you lost your voice

after this incident and you're

much softer in your recent shows.

I don't think so.

Well maybe this is just a clever strike

to adapt your style so you can move on

to one of the major radio stations

where there are tougher

restrictions and codes.

I hear that Capital London

is interested in getting you on board.

I don't know anything about that.

Of course you don't.

Alright, I just need a few more quotes

about radio in general

and then we're done.

Sure.

Raising a child in this world

is not something anyone

should do on their own.

I will be there for you, I promise.

Whatever you need.

That's what my husband said to me

and the day after he was dead.

This is not the first

promise he didn't keep.

LIke taking out the rubbish,

that wasn't his favorite.

You can consider this fatal

accident his own fault

as he tripped over the rubbish

and fell down the stairs.

I mean he was never a lucky man

he was always ill fated.

He once said to me that

that's why he married me.

(church bell)

Hey.

Hello.

What funeral are you going to next?

Sorry?

I think I am going to go to

the Newman funeral on Tuesday.

You?

The Aukman funeral.

Bad idea.

Why?

The Priest doesn't like you.

What?

Come on, if I've noticed somebody

who appears at loads of funerals

he certainly would have done.

He won't like it.

Okay.

Well see you around.

Hi, Michelle.

Hi.

How are you?

I'm good.

You've been here a couple weeks.

Yes!

Now you're doing a really good job,

but it is important that you up sell.

If someone asks for popcorn

just say, "Do you want a large one?"

Always try and sell, just ask,

"Do you want a drink with that as well?"

they'll most likely say yes.

Okay.

Remember to point out

the value of the comp meal.

"Do you want to go large?

It's just 50 pence more."

I will put you on concessions

tomorrow with Charlie.

She is really good at up selling.

Cool, okay, well I'll do my best.

[intercom] A day at the

cinema is not complete

without some fresh popcorn.

Grab our special offer

and enjoy a large popcorn

and two drinks for only 10 pounds.

Hey.

Hey.

I'm working with you

tomorrow in concession.

Uh huh.

I hear you're really good at up selling.

Yeah, I'm the up sell Queen.

So how's that done then?

Just tell them we only have large left.

Nice.

You leaving already?

Got to go to work.

Right, right, you have that

real interesting job

working in an ice bar.

Yeah, I always think to myself,

"Mark, you have a cool job."

You said your name was Chris.

Right.

Oh well.

This was fun. You're great.

Wait wait, so all that stuff you told me

was made up?

Come on, all that stuff you told me

about what crazy job you

do to grab my attention?

You work for an American shoe designer

and are responsible for the color red.

There are lots of shades of red.

(laughing) Sure.

Listen, I usually never do this.

Do what?

Sleep with someone I just met.

Sure.

He was cute, wasn't he?

A little strange.

I wonder what job he actually has.

There are lots of shades of red.

Raspberry, magenta,

fuchsia, venetian red, rose.

Lava...

And we are back with London Talk.

We're looking back at this year's Olympics

and so far no one seems

to have enjoyed them.

Please, my dear callers,

I don't want anymore calls about how

crap the transport was,

how the bloody clock never worked

or how rubbish the logo was

even though I agree with you on that one.

Next up, we have... Alexandra, you're on.

Hey, Jessica.

Hey, what do you want to complain about?

Oh, I don't want to complain.

I was one of 8,000

volunteers to help in London.

Okay, so there were several ways

that you could have

volunteered at the Olympics,

amongst them the so called games makers

who helped at the actual venues

and then the London Ambassadors

which was organized by Boris

Johnson, is that right?

Your favorite man, yes.

Oh well, so I assume you

had extensive training?

Yes, I actually learned a lot.

Not only about the games,

but also about London.

Well that's great.

You enjoyed your time?

Oh yes, I'd do it again.

Well that's great to hear.

We are out of time again,

let me just say Alexandra that I think

it's great what you did.

That more people should

follow your example

instead of complaining all the time.

Well that was London Talk.

I'm Jessica Winters, have a great day.

(pop music)

Jaime, can I ask you something?

Sure.

Do you think I've changed at all

since the Boris Johnson thing?

Of course.

I think you have changed

your style a lot recently.

You're becoming less

aggressive and more factual

like a real journalist.

Really?

Yes. Look at today's show.

Usually you would have rant about

how, pardon my French,

"crap" the games were.

But you finished on a positive note.

You know what? I think it's working.

I heard Capital London

is thinking of expanding their team.

Thanks, Jamie.

Hey Pete, any news on the lift?

I'm still waiting for

a replacement button.

Oh, I read an article about you.

That one?

Most of that stuff I didn't even say.

Thought so.

That's why I enjoy listening to your show,

you're always honest.

Thank you.

See you later.

Sir, your behavior is not acceptable.

You show a considerable

amount of disrespect

for the institution of the Holy Church.

Someone who has just lost a loved one.

What would he think if he was to know

that you just attended the funeral?

I don't attend funerals for fun.

Whatever your reasons are,

I do not want to see you at

one of my funerals again.

Are we clear about that?

Yes.

I'm sorry.

I told you.

Hey.

I think we should avoid

this cemetery from now on.

We?

Yeah.

I'll be at the Nielsen funeral tomorrow.
