Kate: So, congratulations from us all [Gareth and Catherine reply ‘Thank you’], we're just a little bit jealous! It's been a week since you won £40 million playing EuroMillions. Has it quite sunk in yet?
[Gareth and Catherine look at each other before responding at the same time.]
Catherine Bull: No, not quite!
Gareth Bull: No, not really, no.
[Kate laughs.]
Kate: [Reaching to pinch Gareth's arm] So if I pinch you, you're still a little bit numb?
Gareth: Yeah, that's right, yeah.
Kate: No feeling there whatsoever. [Gareth chuckles.] Gareth, tell us how you won that £40 million.
Gareth: Well, it were last Friday, I couldn't start work because it were that wet, it were raining. So I decided-
Kate: You're a builder right? OK.

Kate: Oh my goodness, and what are you going to do with the money?
