17
00:01:00,285 --> 00:01:02,804
Speaker 2: obsessed with it. I've been going to bed too late

18
00:01:02,845 --> 00:01:06,125
Speaker 2: this week because of this bloody book. Just hear about

19
00:01:06,125 --> 00:01:09,165
Speaker 2: this story. This is a true story. It's called Marriage

20
00:01:09,205 --> 00:01:12,885
Speaker 2: at Sea in the seventies, British couple just a hum

21
00:01:12,965 --> 00:01:16,485
Speaker 2: drum couple, Morris and Marilyn, that get married, They fall

22
00:01:16,565 --> 00:01:18,685
Speaker 2: in love. There are just good people that would live

23
00:01:18,725 --> 00:01:21,245
Speaker 2: next door. You wouldn't know much about them. However, he's

24
00:01:21,245 --> 00:01:23,645
Speaker 2: into sailing, she's not. She gets into sailing. This is

25
00:01:23,685 --> 00:01:26,325
Speaker 2: what happens in a relationship. They decide that actually they'd

26
00:01:26,325 --> 00:01:28,525
Speaker 2: like to set up the house sell from the UK

27
00:01:28,805 --> 00:01:31,565
Speaker 2: around the world to New Zealand.

28
00:01:32,205 --> 00:01:34,885
Speaker 1: They get a boat. He's a skilled navigator.

29
00:01:35,285 --> 00:01:38,365
Speaker 2: However, midway through the trip, in the middle of the night,

30
00:01:38,485 --> 00:01:42,245
Speaker 2: and they've got no radio transmitter, a well smashes their

31
00:01:42,245 --> 00:01:46,125
Speaker 2: boat in half, sinking it. There's no radio transmitter. This

32
00:01:46,165 --> 00:01:50,325
Speaker 2: is in the seventies. They're now marooned in a very

33
00:01:50,325 --> 00:01:55,725
Speaker 2: small dinghy together for one hundred and eighteen days. It's

34
00:01:55,805 --> 00:01:58,005
Speaker 2: you and your partner. So all the things you know

35
00:01:58,005 --> 00:02:00,605
Speaker 2: we were talking about half an hour ago, how sometimes

36
00:02:00,605 --> 00:02:04,005
Speaker 2: you're drawn together because of similarities and what you see

37
00:02:04,005 --> 00:02:06,725
Speaker 2: in each other. You're also those parts of you where

38
00:02:06,885 --> 00:02:10,325
Speaker 2: you complete other parts that maybe the other person doesn't have. Suddenly,

39
00:02:10,325 --> 00:02:13,005
Speaker 2: when you're in a boat, I'm guessing for one hundred

40
00:02:13,044 --> 00:02:15,204
Speaker 2: and eighteen days, you think about how much we love

41
00:02:15,205 --> 00:02:17,965
Speaker 2: our partners. But one hundred and eighteen days you cannot

42
00:02:18,045 --> 00:02:20,965
Speaker 2: escape each other. You're going to irritate each other. The

43
00:02:20,965 --> 00:02:23,885
Speaker 2: things that initially you found quite cute and now going

44
00:02:23,925 --> 00:02:27,805
Speaker 2: to become problematic, so mal and the woman is very extrovert,

45
00:02:27,885 --> 00:02:31,085
Speaker 2: and she keeps their spirits up every day. More sadly,

46
00:02:31,165 --> 00:02:35,005
Speaker 2: you see emotionally deteriorating and fading away as he's losing

47
00:02:35,045 --> 00:02:37,885
Speaker 2: the will. They've got no gear to catch fish. They

48
00:02:37,925 --> 00:02:42,125
Speaker 2: have to use safety pins to try and spearfish. There's

49
00:02:42,165 --> 00:02:47,045
Speaker 2: one bit where she Marilyn drags a shark right, a

50
00:02:47,085 --> 00:02:50,725
Speaker 2: basking shark into this dinghy, and they butcher it and

51
00:02:50,725 --> 00:02:55,325
Speaker 2: eat its liver or they die hundred and eighteen days

52
00:02:55,685 --> 00:02:57,405
Speaker 2: stuck in small dig in the middle of the ocean.

53
00:02:57,725 --> 00:03:00,965
Speaker 2: Their flares don't work. When they see passing ships, you

54
00:03:01,045 --> 00:03:02,525
Speaker 2: just think you're going to die in the boat. How

55
00:03:02,645 --> 00:03:04,765
Speaker 2: do you not lose hope? The book is about that.

56
00:03:05,045 --> 00:03:06,085
Speaker 3: Wow, it is.

57
00:03:06,165 --> 00:03:09,605
Speaker 2: It's a true story. It's incredible. The great thing is

58
00:03:09,605 --> 00:03:12,005
Speaker 2: is that the middle of the book suddenly they're rescued.

59
00:03:12,365 --> 00:03:14,645
Speaker 2: The rest of the story thing we're only halfway through

60
00:03:14,645 --> 00:03:16,924
Speaker 2: the book is then what happened to them afterwards? That bit,

61
00:03:17,045 --> 00:03:19,325
Speaker 2: and this is where the great writing kicks in, is

62
00:03:19,365 --> 00:03:20,405
Speaker 2: even just as incredible.

63
00:03:20,525 --> 00:03:21,765
Speaker 1: What happens to that couple.

64
00:03:22,485 --> 00:03:26,205
Speaker 2: They became huge chat show stars around the world, but

65
00:03:26,245 --> 00:03:29,445
Speaker 2: they were never the same again. It's an amazing story

66
00:03:30,125 --> 00:03:31,525
Speaker 2: and it's a very short book you've read in a

67
00:03:31,525 --> 00:03:34,805
Speaker 2: couple of days. It's called a Marriage at Sea. Sophie

68
00:03:34,805 --> 00:03:38,565
Speaker 2: Elmhurst is the author. I cannot recommend it enough. And

69
00:03:38,605 --> 00:03:40,605
Speaker 2: a new TV show Steve Carell, one of the best

70
00:03:40,605 --> 00:03:42,925
Speaker 2: comic actors in the world, isn't a brand new TV

71
00:03:43,005 --> 00:03:46,965
Speaker 2: show called Rooster. It's brilliant. I saw the first episode

72
00:03:46,965 --> 00:03:49,605
Speaker 2: this week. It's the guy the head writers, Bill Lawrence,

73
00:03:49,925 --> 00:03:55,285
Speaker 2: who also did Shrinking and ted Lasso and Scrubs, which

74
00:03:55,325 --> 00:03:57,525
Speaker 2: is back at the moment. And if you're a Scrubs fan,

75
00:03:58,005 --> 00:04:03,405
Speaker 2: John c Riley is in this yes, and he's got an.

76
00:04:03,245 --> 00:04:05,045
Speaker 1: Incredible character in it.

77
00:04:05,045 --> 00:04:08,005
Speaker 2: It's so good. Really really can't recommend it enough. That's

78
00:04:08,045 --> 00:04:09,765
Speaker 2: very good. But the book if you're looking for a

79
00:04:09,765 --> 00:04:11,605
Speaker 2: great book to read, and you'll read it in a

80
00:04:11,605 --> 00:04:14,165
Speaker 2: couple of days. It's an insane story and as you're

81
00:04:14,205 --> 00:04:16,645
Speaker 2: reading it, you will put your own relationship in it.

82
00:04:17,085 --> 00:04:19,485
Speaker 2: And I'm thinking I would have just jumped over that

83
00:04:19,485 --> 00:04:25,085
Speaker 2: boot after about the third Hourah, good luck take me sharks,

84

100
00:05:17,445 --> 00:05:20,964

131
00:06:48,844 --> 00:06:49,445
Speaker 1: A little while.

132
00:06:49,604 --> 00:06:53,685
Speaker 3: Very good, Oh my god, it is Oh it's brilliant.

133
00:06:53,685 --> 00:06:56,565
Speaker 3: It is I reckon probably the best new reality show

134
00:06:56,645 --> 00:06:58,805
Speaker 3: in maybe twenty years, maybe since Survivor.

135
00:06:59,005 --> 00:07:01,205
Speaker 1: Yeah, I agree. Yeah, it's smart, isn't it.

136
00:07:01,205 --> 00:07:01,765
Speaker 3: It's brilliant.

137
00:07:01,765 --> 00:07:02,685
Speaker 4: So it's the premis.

138
00:07:02,804 --> 00:07:06,124
Speaker 3: It's set in Scotland, in the Highlands, in this beautiful,

139
00:07:06,205 --> 00:07:06,885
Speaker 3: lush castle.

140
00:07:07,005 --> 00:07:10,885
Speaker 1: My friend Claudia hosted Curdie Winking with the Big French.

141
00:07:11,125 --> 00:07:19,405
Speaker 2: She is, yes, twenty five years she's great, but she's

142
00:07:19,445 --> 00:07:20,005
Speaker 2: really good.

143
00:07:20,445 --> 00:07:24,045
Speaker 3: So there's twenty what they call Faithful's twenty people trying

144
00:07:24,045 --> 00:07:25,685
Speaker 3: to build up a prize pool to win.

145
00:07:25,845 --> 00:07:27,004
Speaker 1: At the end of the game.

146
00:07:27,364 --> 00:07:31,205
Speaker 3: There are two or three secret traitors who have been

147
00:07:31,325 --> 00:07:32,684
Speaker 3: sort of randomly selected and.

148
00:07:32,645 --> 00:07:33,725
Speaker 1: They have secret meetings.

149
00:07:33,765 --> 00:07:35,445
Speaker 4: Parts isn't a bit like the Mole.

150
00:07:35,725 --> 00:07:38,525
Speaker 3: It is very similar to the Mole, except so everything better.

151
00:07:40,005 --> 00:07:43,205
Speaker 3: Every night the traders kill one of the Faithful.

152
00:07:43,285 --> 00:07:46,205
Speaker 2: And they have to do something like touch that touch

153
00:07:46,685 --> 00:07:48,045
Speaker 2: another person's face.

154
00:07:48,005 --> 00:07:52,884
Speaker 3: Yes, death yes, And then all the Faithful, everyone in

155
00:07:52,925 --> 00:07:55,085
Speaker 3: the group has to banish who they think is the

156
00:07:55,165 --> 00:07:58,285
Speaker 3: traitor that night. So you see, like people become really

157
00:07:58,405 --> 00:08:00,965
Speaker 3: close best friends then turn on each other.
