00:00 This year is really the year of Hannah Waddingham.
00:02 I love getting to see you every year and everything.
00:05 But I wondered for you, how does that feel like
00:07 to have this kind of boost in your career now at this point?
00:10 - Well, it's kind of been accidental.
00:12 It wasn't, you know, I was asked to host the Olivier's
00:15 and was so, so blown over to be asked.
00:19 Then I was asked to do Eurovision.
00:20 And as I was saying to somebody earlier,
00:22 I genuinely thought somebody had dropped out.
00:25 So when I heard they hadn't, I just thought, oh my God,
00:28 I don't know how this has come about,
00:30 but I'm so grateful that it did.
00:31 And I would happily present it every year if I could
00:35 and be the new Katie Boyle or Terry Wogan.
00:38 And then I think we had already spoken to Apple
00:43 and started developing this all last year,
00:47 but my schedule was very heavy.
00:49 So it's kind of happened as an accident
00:52 that things have kind of stacked up as much as they have.
00:56 But I tell you what,
00:57 24 is going to have to go some to be better than 23.
01:01 That's for sure.
