00:00 You know, it only died, it feels like, a couple of moments ago,
00:04 a few days ago.
00:05 How are you doing at the moment as Christmas hurtles towards us?
00:09 Well, Susannah, it's obviously very tough, yes.
00:14 And, you know, I don't think Shane would mind too much
00:21 if Fairytale goes to number one.
00:24 I don't think it was ever that important to him.
00:26 Because I think that he really appreciated the fact
00:32 that so many people love it and it means so much to so many people.
00:35 And, like, being number one isn't really all about
00:39 being appreciated, almost.
00:42 Do you know what I mean?
00:44 So I think it's meaningful to him,
00:47 that there's a lot of real feeling behind people's sentiments about it.
