1
00:00:01,400 --> 00:00:03,280
Speaker 1: And Amanda jam Nation.

2
00:00:03,560 --> 00:00:06,360
Speaker 2: We are in for wind and people are saying be

3
00:00:06,480 --> 00:00:09,840
Speaker 2: careful of bush fires. Don't do what this woman has done.

4
00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:12,800
Speaker 2: This woman in Greece has been arrested first set for

5
00:00:12,880 --> 00:00:17,520
Speaker 2: lighting fires. The reason she did it was because she

6
00:00:17,880 --> 00:00:22,640
Speaker 2: wanted to flirt with the firefighters. Don't do this people.

7
00:00:22,760 --> 00:00:25,640
Speaker 2: She's been sentenced to three years in prison and a

8
00:00:25,680 --> 00:00:30,720
Speaker 2: massive fine. She's forty four years old. And it was

9
00:00:30,760 --> 00:00:32,959
Speaker 2: noted that fires were in small plots and were put

10
00:00:32,960 --> 00:00:36,520
Speaker 2: out very quickly. I'm surprised her drool didn't put out

11
00:00:36,560 --> 00:00:40,160
Speaker 2: the fires. So what she would do was she set

12
00:00:40,159 --> 00:00:44,200
Speaker 2: the fires because she enjoyed watching firefighters and flirting with them.

13
00:00:44,479 --> 00:00:46,879
Speaker 2: They discovered that she had turned up at two of

14
00:00:46,920 --> 00:00:50,240
Speaker 2: these fires in Tripoli, and that arounsed the suspicions of

15
00:00:50,280 --> 00:00:54,120
Speaker 2: the fire department where she was there. Ohhi, what are

16
00:00:54,160 --> 00:00:56,680
Speaker 2: the chances? Is you a dream?

17
00:00:58,120 --> 00:01:02,360
Speaker 1: And now she's imprison in officers. Maybe that's what she wanted.

18
00:01:02,400 --> 00:01:04,000
Speaker 1: Maybe that was the other she said, she wanted someone

19
00:01:04,080 --> 00:01:06,360
Speaker 1: in uniform. The outcome, now you've got a prisoner. Obe

20
00:01:06,440 --> 00:01:06,959
Speaker 1: she's happy.

21
00:01:07,120 --> 00:01:09,679
Speaker 2: Maybe she is the length people go to for love,

22
00:01:09,720 --> 00:01:12,959
Speaker 2: you know, people that join crazy clubs or whatever. I'm

23
00:01:12,959 --> 00:01:15,520
Speaker 2: trying to think of there's anything I've ever done in

24
00:01:15,560 --> 00:01:18,000
Speaker 2: my Actually, I saw an ad. I'm going to buy

25
00:01:18,000 --> 00:01:21,720
Speaker 2: the t shirt. It's forty years since the Tim Finn

26
00:01:21,720 --> 00:01:24,319
Speaker 2: album Escapade was released, Staring at the emberss. The T

27
00:01:24,480 --> 00:01:28,040
Speaker 2: shirt is the iconic They've re released a T shirt

28
00:01:28,200 --> 00:01:29,600
Speaker 2: of the iconic album cover.

29
00:01:29,800 --> 00:01:33,039
Speaker 1: It's Tim in profile. It was red behind her, but

30
00:01:33,080 --> 00:01:35,039
Speaker 1: there's a white light on his eyes.

31
00:01:36,520 --> 00:01:38,640
Speaker 2: I was just completely obsessed. I was working at Simon

32
00:01:39,040 --> 00:01:41,240
Speaker 2: Townsend's Wonderworld and we're going to be doing a story

33
00:01:41,600 --> 00:01:43,200
Speaker 2: with split.

34
00:01:42,880 --> 00:01:44,840
Speaker 1: In and you weren't on the TV then you were just.

35
00:01:44,760 --> 00:01:48,160
Speaker 2: As the researcher. I was a researcher, and so I

36
00:01:48,200 --> 00:01:51,280
Speaker 2: was researching the story and I was so like, I

37
00:01:51,280 --> 00:01:53,400
Speaker 2: remember three weeks out, only three weeks, I'm going to

38
00:01:53,440 --> 00:01:55,160
Speaker 2: meet Tim Finn. Only two weeks I'm going to meet

39
00:01:55,200 --> 00:01:58,120
Speaker 2: Tim Finn. Remember going to see him perform, and I

40
00:01:58,280 --> 00:02:00,720
Speaker 2: just everyone else was dancing. I just I still remember

41
00:02:00,720 --> 00:02:03,240
Speaker 2: what I was wearing. I still locked eyes with them.

42
00:02:03,240 --> 00:02:08,520
Speaker 2: I'd never been more enamored with anybody in my entire life.

43
00:02:07,120 --> 00:02:10,840
Speaker 1: Did he get your vibe that you now?

44
00:02:10,919 --> 00:02:12,120
Speaker 2: I didn't look like a creep?

45
00:02:12,880 --> 00:02:14,520
Speaker 1: What were you wearing what was the app I had a.

46
00:02:14,480 --> 00:02:17,840
Speaker 2: Pink blazer, and I think I had jeans, probably similar

47
00:02:17,880 --> 00:02:18,679
Speaker 2: to what I'm wearing.

48
00:02:18,440 --> 00:02:19,760
Speaker 1: Today, high waist jeans.

49
00:02:20,120 --> 00:02:21,440
Speaker 2: I don't think there were any other kind.

50
00:02:21,600 --> 00:02:23,840
Speaker 1: And you had big shoulder pads, no doubt, all.

51
00:02:23,720 --> 00:02:26,240
Speaker 2: Of that, and giant ear rings and big flock of seagulls. Hair,

52
00:02:26,440 --> 00:02:28,680
Speaker 2: had all of it going on. So I was so

53
00:02:28,800 --> 00:02:30,360
Speaker 2: in love with him that I could not believe I

54
00:02:30,440 --> 00:02:32,480
Speaker 2: was going to meet him. So on the day of

55
00:02:32,520 --> 00:02:36,679
Speaker 2: the story, I wrote myself into the Simon Town's in

56
00:02:36,760 --> 00:02:40,559
Speaker 2: Wonderworld story. Philip Tanner and Sheridan Jobbins were going to

57
00:02:40,560 --> 00:02:44,760
Speaker 2: to do the story, and I wrote myself in the film.

58
00:02:44,840 --> 00:02:47,960
Speaker 2: The story started with me in the office wearing a

59
00:02:48,000 --> 00:02:51,720
Speaker 2: wedding dress, dreaming about meeting him, and then went through

60
00:02:51,760 --> 00:02:54,520
Speaker 2: a dissolve and there I was in the park with

61
00:02:54,720 --> 00:02:59,080
Speaker 2: them meeting him. That what happened was he didn't turn up,

62
00:02:59,600 --> 00:03:02,200
Speaker 2: and it was Neil and Paul Hester, who were the

63
00:03:02,240 --> 00:03:04,239
Speaker 2: two nicest men in the history of the universe. But

64
00:03:04,280 --> 00:03:09,359
Speaker 2: I remember my face was my dream. It was dissolving

65
00:03:09,480 --> 00:03:14,960
Speaker 2: before my very eyes faces, and I remember I was

66
00:03:15,000 --> 00:03:17,000
Speaker 2: all giddy and on a high alert to the point

67
00:03:17,040 --> 00:03:20,160
Speaker 2: where Neil said, okay, we better wrap this up before.

68
00:03:19,919 --> 00:03:21,880
Speaker 1: I got tasy. Were you're in a wedding dress?

69
00:03:22,639 --> 00:03:24,480
Speaker 2: Was a kid's show, but.

70
00:03:24,520 --> 00:03:25,480
Speaker 1: It was supposed to be honest.

71
00:03:26,000 --> 00:03:29,079
Speaker 2: I added Simon Lea that for some reason, I had

72
00:03:29,120 --> 00:03:33,120
Speaker 2: a I also had a mannequin hand. It was just

73
00:03:33,200 --> 00:03:36,440
Speaker 2: cootie days, I know, but that was that was where

74
00:03:36,480 --> 00:03:38,560
Speaker 2: I cut my teeth on my television career.

75
00:03:38,720 --> 00:03:41,520
Speaker 1: I think people of a certain age would only remember

76
00:03:41,560 --> 00:03:44,280
Speaker 1: Simon Tann's's Wonder World. So when there wasn't stories like that,

77
00:03:44,400 --> 00:03:46,600
Speaker 1: there was stories of Jonathan Coleman at the Paddle Pop

78
00:03:46,640 --> 00:03:47,640
Speaker 1: Factory every week.

79
00:03:47,840 --> 00:03:50,520
Speaker 2: It was a big show of its day.

80
00:03:49,120 --> 00:03:53,120
Speaker 1: That's where the kids would go. They didn't have screens

81
00:03:53,160 --> 00:03:54,440
Speaker 1: to scroll on and stuff like that.

82
00:03:54,760 --> 00:03:57,480
Speaker 2: And then I left. There was a role for I

83
00:03:57,560 --> 00:04:02,320
Speaker 2: was a researcher and a role for a reporter came up,

84
00:04:02,920 --> 00:04:05,000
Speaker 2: and I thought, this is my chance.

85
00:04:05,720 --> 00:04:06,040
Speaker 1: People.

86
00:04:06,160 --> 00:04:07,800
Speaker 2: This is that used to be covered on the news

87
00:04:07,840 --> 00:04:09,800
Speaker 2: because people would queue all the way around the block.

88
00:04:09,840 --> 00:04:12,560
Speaker 2: It was a huge deal. I remember that, and I

89
00:04:12,760 --> 00:04:16,240
Speaker 2: wore and we had to wear pants and do a

90
00:04:16,320 --> 00:04:19,080
Speaker 2: jump and a squeal like the Rank and Sisters. Remember them.

91
00:04:19,520 --> 00:04:21,760
Speaker 2: Fitness gurus we had to be able to jump our

92
00:04:21,800 --> 00:04:24,200
Speaker 2: squeal and wear jeans so they could see our figures.

93
00:04:25,240 --> 00:04:27,840
Speaker 2: And anyway, I didn't get the job, and at one

94
00:04:27,839 --> 00:04:29,920
Speaker 2: point I was told by a producer the word came

95
00:04:29,960 --> 00:04:32,000
Speaker 2: down as a bit too broad across the beam and

96
00:04:32,080 --> 00:04:34,520
Speaker 2: I never got over it. This is for a kid's show,

97
00:04:35,400 --> 00:04:38,279
Speaker 2: I know. And years later Simon was asked one of

98
00:04:38,279 --> 00:04:39,840
Speaker 2: his big regrets and he said that he didn't give

99
00:04:39,839 --> 00:04:40,279
Speaker 2: me the job.

100
00:04:40,320 --> 00:04:42,839
Speaker 1: Well, I'm blame him. What a fool, Yeah, yeah, what

101
00:04:42,960 --> 00:04:43,400
Speaker 1: a fool.

102
00:04:43,960 --> 00:04:45,400
Speaker 2: But anyway, the lengths you go.

103
00:04:45,320 --> 00:04:46,000
Speaker 1: To for love?

104
00:04:46,120 --> 00:04:47,640
Speaker 2: I wrote myself into a story
