Speaker A
our own band. I mean, it's just a formula that works, right? Like, because if there's boy bands, right, you could have like Take That, you could have Take That, and you could, and there was boys, us boys, you
Speaker A
like, yeah, have all those. So this is just like the same but with the girl group. So we're going to be not Spiced but Sugar. Yeah, so I'll be what, like Baby Sugar? I'll be Baby Sugar. No, I'm being Baby
Speaker A
Sugar. Always going to be Baby Sugar. No, I've always been Baby Sugar. You know what? Yes, and this is true, right? I was on a bus, right, and this black character to me said, "You little girl, little girl
Speaker A
over there, are you Baby Spice tonight?" Yeah, go power, go power. Going to be called Sugar, right? Right, Sugar. So I'm going to be Baby Sugar. Who are you going to be? I don't, I don't care what you are,
Speaker A
right, as long as, as long as I am tough, sporty, rockard sugar lump. Sugar lumps, that's good because, like, we are like sugar and we are like lumps. Oh, then I am Ginger Lumps and I'm Baby Lumps, right?
Speaker A
Not Posh Lumps, Baby Lumps. Look, when Lella gets here, she's going to have to be like Scary Lumps. All right, S, I'm late. I had to go to youth quiet practice 'cause she's really popular. Ginger bus, what, what I want, what I really
Speaker A
really want, right? I want to be like the sporty one. You shouldn't have said that because is going to be sporty one. I was thinking, um, yeah, you should definitely be, um, sporty lump. Yeah, she looks great in this one. Oh, you know that
Speaker A
outfit by Ginger's wearing? [Music] Really? [Applause] Never, you have got to give the way it is, right? This is just something like my brother's done on his keyboard, so it might not sound that great. Okay, we just think up a line each,
Speaker A
right? Thank you, my school, for teaching me the golden rules 'cause I really love you, Baby. I like Mr. You teaches geography, but my favorite is double biology. Yeah, body for. See you tomorrow. Mom's getting all the gear, is
Speaker A
she? Yeah, yeah. Says she can be in the band. What? 'Cause she won't get it for us unless she's allowed to be in the group. Your mom, we need one, don't we? What, like Posh Lamp? Yeah, yeah, yeah, that's what should
Speaker A
be. That's what should be. What should be? Your mom can be the Posh Lumps, right? Yeah, if she promises. Yeah, not even to try to be Baby Lumps. Won't be Baby Lump. I mean it. I swear my mom would not be
Speaker A
Baby Lumps. I swear. Right? [Music] [Music] Okay, instead we find ourselves in this absurd situation where they have to choose just one of us. Oh no, I should really be telling you this information sooner because the Archbishop is
Speaker A
actually going to appoint five Bishops today. Really? Yes, but there are five of us here. There are five of you here, so that means, yes. Good Lord, good lordy Lord. There's still one more to come, darlings. Oh my
Speaker A
goodness. Oh, absolutely lovely to see you. Now am I right? I've been told five winners, one loser, so I'm looking at winners. Who's well one? May the best man win and welcome to the repair shop where much love treasures are brought back to life.
Speaker A
First to arrive are two familiar friends. It is actually a ball. Go on, go on, go just go in. All right, go in, go in, just go in. Awaiting their arrival is furniture restorer J Blades. Hello, how we doing? And fellow
Speaker A
expert Steve Fletcher. Hello Blaz. Hello. Okay, don't get silly about it. So what have you brought in for us there? Well, this is something that, um, matters very, very, very much to us. J Blades, very does matter. No, not yet, don't
Speaker A
yet, not yet. This is something that's been in my family for many, many, many, many years. J Blades and, um, all of my friends and family have gathered around it. Gaed J haven't gathered around at J Blades. Unfortunately, it's broken and, and
Speaker A
it's just gathering dust in a drawer and we will cry if you fix it. Yes, Steve, we best take a look. Can we see it? Yeah, can we have a look? Yes, of course. Um, this is it. Close up, close up. It's a toaster. Yes,
Speaker A
yes, it makes toast, makes lovely, lovely toast. It used to make toast 'cause you used to get the old-fashioned, um, slice of bread and put it in the these slots. Steve, can you see? And then you jam that down, but it's not working
Speaker A
anymore. It used to make toast. I'm going now because I used to really enjoy making toast with my son, but he's, he's gone now. He's not with us in, he's in Dubai. He's in Dubai. Yes. Yeah, they don't
Speaker A
make toast in Dubai. It's against their culture, I believe. J Pleas. Okay, yes, can you fix it? Can you fix it for us at all? Because it's very costly to get things repaired. You don't charge here, do you? No, we don't.
Speaker A
Charge, we've never, we've never done toasters before. We haven't, never done one, but we will cry. Too difficult for you? Cry? No, it's not too difficult. It's just that we don't do toast. It's, it's curs in here. Bab k k could do it for us.
Speaker A
Could you? She's not in. We don't do toasters. It's fine. It's fine. It's a family heirloom. Cares about it and we were going to cry, but that is fine. Very, very disappointed. My mistake was a repair, just not what I thought it was
Speaker A
going to be. Oh, very, very disappointed. Yes, I mean, we've come all the way from Chim. Yes, we didn't even get a reveal. We didn't even get to meet Kiran. We didn't even know if Kiran still works. So is she still work
Speaker A
