00:00So I'm speaking to a very special guest, Goggles the Elf. How are you doing Goggles?
00:05I'm very well thank you, how are you?
00:07I'm excellent thank you very much.
00:08I'm very glad to hear it.
00:09Thank you very much for the kind invite. Now are we going to pop into the Museum and Art Gallery, Derby?
00:13Oh yes, come in. Welcome to Derby Museum and Art Gallery. Follow me.
00:18How exciting. So we're now following Goggles in to Derby Museum. That was very exciting.
00:27The excitement is palpable.
00:31I'm speaking to Goggles the Elf, Derby Museum and Art Gallery. So Goggles, how long have you been working with Santa for then?
00:40Oh my goodness, such a long time. I've been working with Santa for as long as I can remember.
00:45So that's a long, long, long, long time.
00:48A very, very long time. Longer than two weeks, longer than a month. A very, very long time.
00:51What is the best thing do you think about being an elf?
00:55Oh, I love being an elf. This time of year is magical and it's the best job in the world.
01:01All the presents and hustle and bustle and running around and we know we play a very important part of a lot of people's very special days.
01:08So that's the best thing about being an elf.
01:10Now I assume that you live in Lapland.
01:13I do indeed.
01:14Shh, shh, shh.
01:15Don't tell anyone.
01:16Okay, I won't.
01:17How long does it take you to travel into Derby then I wonder? Is it a long commute?
01:22It's a very long commute, but luckily the Red Arrow is really, really good.
01:25Oh, the Red Arrow. Wicked.
01:27Just for the last bit of course, just for the last bit.
01:30So what is your or even Santa's favourite cafe in Derby or Derbyshire? Can you share with us goggles?
01:39I might be slightly biased, but I quite like the Coffee House at the Museum of Art.
01:45Oh, okay.
01:46And also the River Kitchen at the Museum of Making.
01:49Lovely, amazing. So when and where can people see you and Santa work your magic this festive season?
01:58People of Derby, you can see myself and my friends and of course the big man Santa from the 30th of November right here at Derby Museum and Art Gallery.
02:06Woohoo, thank you so much goggles.
02:09No problem, thank you.
