| 0:00.0 | Hi everyone and welcome to the last episode of No Sixth as Fish before Christmas. |
| 0:09.8 | We're getting really close to Christmas now, so obviously very, very much in the last minute |
| 0:14.8 | stocking filler area. But if you have very odd-shaped stockings, then maybe you would like to buy some of our books, |
| 0:22.3 | because probably from some online retailers, you'll be able to get them just in time if you're listening to this on Friday or Saturday. |
| 0:28.8 | So let me remind you what we have. |
| 0:31.5 | Andrew Hunter Murray has written a number of novels, but his latest one is a beginner's guides to breaking and entering. It is a book |
| 0:38.7 | that shows off everything you love about Andy. It's very funny, very witty, and at the same time has |
| 0:43.7 | his classic thriller structure, as they all do, all of his books. Dan Schreiber has a book |

| 1:26.0 | Doesn't sound very family-friendly, does it? But it is our |
| 1:28.6 | look at the world of sports. If you've got any difficult to buy for relatives, but you know that |
| 1:33.1 | they like any kind of sport, then this is the one to get for them, because it is a classic QI thing |
| 1:38.2 | of all the kind of weird facts that even the biggest sports fan in your family will not know. And actually, even if you don't like sports, we know that you will like this, because it's a book full of facts, |
