RANDOM QUOTES FROM THIS SHOW Studio Guest [Jonathan Woodham]: I've been, actually... giving a lecture in London at Sotheby's - and er... I was just wandering down the street on thinking about: "Do I want to go and have a drink before I go to work?" - and deciding that I probably wouldn't because time was getting on. Tommy Boyd: And then suddenly this... Studio Guest [Jonathan Woodham]: And then I weighed up... Tommy Boyd: yeah...? Studio Guest [Jonathan Woodham]: ... "could I spare this amount of time"? I thought, "OK". Tommy Boyd: Excellent... excellent. So what was your lecture at Sotheby's? Studio Guest [Jonathan Woodham]: It was on 'Cool Britannia'. Um... Tommy Boyd: Lecturing who?! Studio Guest [Jonathan Woodham]: Um... MA Students in: The Marketing of the Arts. Tommy Boyd: *inhale* Right. Presumably there's lots of visuals when you lecture? Studio Guest [Jonathan Woodham]: A fair amount, yeah. Tommy Boyd: Yeah. OK. Studio Guest [Jonathan Woodham]: Yeh. Tommy Boyd: What...? How does it work? Do you have yourself a specific set of targets - for what presumably is a one-off lecture like that? Studio Guest [Jonathan Woodham]: Yeh, I... well ... I don't know what you mean by "targets"!? Tommy Boyd: Well... Studio Guest [Jonathan Woodham]: You mean things to say, or? Tommy Boyd: Outcomes. What the students walk away with. What you tell them at the beginning they're going to know at the end. Studio Guest [Jonathan Woodham]: No. I think it's plearly clanned - cl... - clearly planned, he says - I can't speak now. Yeh... yeah. Tommy Boyd: OK... er - family?! Children? Studio Guest [Jonathan Woodham]: I have two boys. Tommy Boyd: Two boys. How old are they now? Studio Guest [Jonathan Woodham]: One is just coming up for 20 and... um ... Is it 20? Yes, I think it is. And the other one is er... just fifteen. Tommy Boyd: Oh??... And you and me, we've been exactly the same in that respect. And funnily enough, I can't remember whether Jack's nineteen or twenty *sarc. laugh* Studio Guest [Jonathan Woodham]: Yeah yeah. I mean, I think it get... gets a bit difficult at that stage... I mean... Tommy Boyd: Where are they? Are they both at home still? Studio Guest [Jonathan Woodham]: Um, yes. I mean, the other one's a bit of a nuisance - uh, it would be nice if he was listening. He's trying to make his living, I guess, at sort of events and music organisations. Tommy Boyd: Is he really? Studio Guest [Jonathan Woodham]: Yep. Tommy Boyd: What does he do? Studio Guest [Jonathan Woodham]: Well! He organises events... Tommy Boyd: Oh. I see! He's the organiser? I'm sorry! Sorry! Studio Guest [Jonathan Woodham]: He organises events. He makes his own music - um... electronic, and otherwise... Tommy Boyd: What about the younger? Studio Guest [Jonathan Woodham]: The younger one, he's a computer... um... nerd - he would say. Tommy Boyd: Would he say that? They do yeah, they get the self-depdeprivation. Studio Guest [Jonathan Woodham]: No! I think he quite likes that... Tommy Boyd: Yes... yeahhss...

RANDOM QUOTES FROM THIS SHOW Tommy Boyd: We played "Oh What A Circus" by David Essex about 10 minutes ago, and Robert calls from Eastbourne with more on the language they were singing in that David Essex song. Robert? Caller [Robert]: Hello. Good afternoon Tommy. Tommy Boyd: Robert! Caller [Robert]: Yes, um... I'd just rung up Allison to say it's Latin. Tommy Boyd: Yes. Caller [Robert]: And in fact, it's um, it's a kind of a... like a Holy Hymn of Praise to adito likened to a Holy Mother; Exactly why Che Guevara should be um ... who, basically David [Essex] was playing the part of Che Guevara, the revolutionary, who went out into South America to try and turn everybody into revolutionary countries - but exactly why he singing in Latin, I'm not quite sure!! But it is Latin. Tommy Boyd: Well, it's Andrew Lloyd Webber again for you, isn't it!? *(probably)* Caller [Robert]: Exactly... Tommy Boyd: *laughter* Caller [Robert]: It's all 'artistic license'. Tommy Boyd: Yes! *laugh* Good spot. Anyway, can you speak a little bit of Latin? Caller [Robert]: Um... I studied Latin. Um... I studied Greek, Ancient Greek, Latin, Hebrew. Um... but only from the point of view of reading it; translating and reading it - not actually speaking it. Tommy Boyd: But obviously you know it when you hear it? Caller [Robert]: Oh yes! I've always assumed it was Latin. So when you ... so when I think Allison said it's Argentinian - I thought, "Well, where's that coming from!?", you know. Tommy Boyd: I know. Nice work! Thank you for that 'top-up'! You're an erudite man! Caller [Robert]: Thank you very much. Tommy Boyd: Cheers! Caller [Robert]: Bye-bye.

And I'm not convinced about a conservatory. I just think it's somewhere else to heat; somewhere else to... you know, put a stereo system in - that you rarely listen to. The sofa's fade in the sunlight. And it's another room to hoover! Somewhere else to lose your ipod.
