0:00.0 | Hello and welcome to Openeer. I'm Hugh Levinson and I'm Head of the Department which |
0:13.5 | makes programs like Assignment in the Inquiry, but now we're doing something a little different. |
0:18.9 | I've made a selection of brilliant programs produced for other broadcasters, so think |
