Andrew RimbyHOST
And there's a whole musical number called Out for Blood.
Andrew RimbyHOST
And I thought Keep Calm and Carry On is such a fun, funny way of bringing your novel to bear because you bring a lot of themes in Enchanted Autumn that are both serious but also campy.
Andrew RimbyHOST
So I think, like, let's start there.
Andrew RimbyHOST
You know, what really drew you to first this kind of genre of a novel?
LeonHOST
Until then, I'm going to leave you with one final tap fact.
LeonHOST
Did you know that the famous keep calm and carry on poster was never actually used during the World War? There was a time when that was everywhere, about 10, 15 years ago.
LeonHOST
It was all like really twee things like keep calm and eat cake or keep calm and drink coffee.
LeonHOST
Whatever you're doing, keep calm and keep quizzing.
Andy ZaltzmanHOST
Just positioning myself in case my dream job as White House Press Secretary comes up again.
Andy ZaltzmanHOST
Let's meet our teams, and in the week that the Director General of MI5 gave the annual National Threat Update Report, we have Team Keep Calm and Carry On against Team Panic Wildly and Stock Up on Non-Perishable Foodstuffs.
Andy ZaltzmanHOST
On Team Calm, we have John Tothill and Lucy Porter.
Andy ZaltzmanHOST
APPLAUSE And on Team Panic, we have Sara Barron and from the FT, Stephen Bush.
Andy ZaltzmanHOST
APPLAUSE Right, our first question.
Andy ZaltzmanHOST
This will go to Lucy and John.
Adam LawrenceHOST
They don't come out in what you say or what you write on the wall or all the rest of it.
Adam LawrenceHOST
Mine are over here, right? Keep calm and carry on.
Adam LawrenceHOST
That's one of my big ones.
Adam LawrenceHOST
And that ultimately is one that I do.
50 MINS LATER
Adam LawrenceHOST
Let's not make a big thing about it.
Adam LawrenceHOST
Let's just get on with it.
Adam LawrenceHOST
keep calm and carry on is what john is thinking i don't think he reads the supplement but if anybody knows him please please please feel free to direct him to it or perhaps an ai summary of it because he's going to be a pretty busy guy isn't in a supplement it's pretty long these days apart from anything else so It was actually production that did well in August, not services.
Adam LawrenceHOST
Production was up 0.8, the fastest in nine months.
Charlotte McDonnellHOST
That's right, Libby.
Charlotte McDonnellHOST
It's time for British Thought of the Week, and this week's British thought is, do British people really love to keep calm and carry on? So this is, um, I'm sort of adapting, uh, a British Thought that we were sent in, um, from, uh, Emily, Emily Shu, who said, "I was thinking about those keep calm and carry on posted," like the parody designs.
Charlotte McDonnellHOST
"Was wondering if there were any particularly annoying ones that you might have seen." I saw that and I was like, "You know what I don't know, is where the fuck the keep calm and carry on shit came from."
Libby WatsonHOST
Yes.
Charlotte McDonnellHOST
Uh, so I want to...
Charlotte McDonnellHOST
I, I looked into that and, and also why it became popular.
Libby WatsonHOST
Mm-hmm.
Charlotte McDonnellHOST
Alec, I assume keep calm and carry on is something you are familiar with.
Ben RansomGUEST
And then when the situation, if it does change, then I guess we have to change our view.
Tony JohnsonHOST
Yeah, sort of like having a thought about it, like a poster maybe with Keep Calm and Carry On.
Tony JohnsonHOST
That might be something.
Tony JohnsonHOST
Bit of that, yeah.
PlantyHOST
I do
JamesHOST
... on the Keep Calm and Carry On thing?
PlantyHOST
Yeah.
JamesHOST
Ugh, what a, what a time to be alive.
