00:08 The best is my family, my whole family. When I was a child the worst was a typewriter because it just had one dial and not the actual keys.
00:20 The best present I ever had was a little Cairn Terrier puppy that my mum and dad got me when I was a child.
00:26 She lived to be about 16 so she was the greatest present ever. Worst present? I've never had one. I've always been very grateful for whatever anybody's got me.
00:34 The best Christmas present was a bicycle when I was a boy. And the worst present was a train set that didn't work.
00:42 Oh, the worst Christmas present.
00:46 Well the best was a mechanical set when I was a little boy because I could build all sorts with it.
00:52 And I'd say my worst Christmas present was a dozen red roses that was a lovely thought but they hadn't been put in any water.
01:02 The best Christmas present that I ever got was a new hoover, which I know is a little bit boring but I do love a hoover.
01:08 And the worst present was tea towels and a wooden spoon.
01:12 Best Christmas present, weirdly, was a record deck, like a stacking system. That was the best Christmas I think I ever got because I like music.
01:24 Worst Christmas? I don't think I've had a bad Christmas present. We always got good ones.
01:30 Happy holidays to everybody. Happy Christmas.
01:33 Well the most, worst present I would think most people would get, in my suspection, would be either socks.
01:41 Because people always get plenty of socks and they probably think, "Oh, I'll get the same present every year." And I would think socks, you know?
01:47 I know they all come in shapes and sizes but that's one of the worst presents I've ever had.
01:52 The best present I ever had? Well, going back to my childhood, I used to like the, I used to have an airplane.
02:02 I used to like, I used to have, years ago, I used to have a special set for my pencils and the rubber.
02:12 And I could still, I used to have that, I hang onto that for a long, long, long time. My uncle gave me that.
02:17 It's a, it's a, you put your pencils and pen and your rubber in this little case.
02:23 A little long case and I used to love that case and I treasured that for a long time, believe it or not. That was a nice little present that was.
