sean it is remember harry reid is do not think i don't know that you know that if it's a recession is not coming down the bay's water road so it's quite justice for us to go to the window but i should like to own
dozens of people now he is and how he should be shipped that's it that is
this is a potentially key cities this
the city did you have interviewing them kind of time to go forth and hamas took notice how fast one that correlate to movies on a way to introduce an active shooter fish project is it's about us and fifty almost too young in the us owns to find him at it and such a good house unless the economy
but meanwhile you get a sense how it would feel quite got over that the hadid of wall street that is quite ridiculous to think isn't it enough tension not that i'm sure that among the few things that i hope you'll be plenty of calls are ways to grow your grandma much it meant to us was quite a few seasons and it needed to be for what might've been and you know there's some real soul soho this it's very french an interesting is he was always telling detail in
some type of a mission they put on their next week and that his advantage has had enough of london in the show it was so routine forward we was going to be a conflict and it will stay the course he'd found a counter medicines so you know that i wanted to be the right sort of people in the
us has risen to run here to let anybody know that to be so so everyone knows about the police but this was saying something you know i think there's a variety of his teammates
jurors aoun's attacks is that why you're so in july should be anywhere on time and it continues to devalue comets because i'm a long wasted years it's fallen away all through this last year and being together i've just grown younger and younger not in about twenty years so that there's an enchantment that's what it is when i'm rebecca sparrow even meet it's treatable overweight young who did it and all that a lot of the many other occasion i should probably the job for you
when he's gone of course it's better i said i couldn't and why should i do it because i love humans and because of jolly imagine i should care about that is a name when grand people die i mean the remake of opperman generation before dubstep just usually very early stages after and i never quite seen the point of this i'm a man will be remembered for his own work like shakespeare beethoven us on a little at his is the only kind of immortality and i can accept the rest of us i think we live on in the memory of those who love to us when they're gone we must die to do you need anything wrong not so jolly lives are
you honey this foul about them now give the next generation that there's joiners not permitted to actually done when i spoke to and chants not only for the listener you now miracle of the reasons we have a song to call him joe dimaggio and not only be your child o mine strange sense johnny never has been it was good of you to come with your father pieces i'm sure he was that he was very funny about people if they couldn't think of all the fox's about why should people throw them anyway i mean and what yes and it is
the town and so called get so how well and happy he looked in the way here it's button that imagines has any two years older than me but it's all over hahn that local sen hatch constance is a mix of matched it to a minimum and we're looking in the end can see kids and i wrote to him is quote in hand what do you think and the night life knowing from the paper today is going to do you want to tell us the cost roy hill eighteen january yet on tuesday interesting and i'm glad i'm really
glad i was very sort of the gems in his boy might be and that george was amusing about it is going to the three gorges i wonder what the us those things about i know he's so much wanted this on himself that is always totally get so much his fellow are accidents he's going to have one fb it's serious cautious position is its i can make a decision of her life if i operate within about the big a river born dead i don't operate of a group of it live but is a great risk to the mother and great risk and i think a certain things should never have another child
this is no time for that kind of operated must be than it was about what was decided she's in their state to do so one time as a mother gets here not to late tonight and the decision must be i was i going back to the city to get back within the hour or thank you sometimes that led to what i've seen nothing to today's voters they do you can do to a few days ago and pulled his lungs the buses drove on iconic army vietnam now the concept is that labor pretty dangerous
without an operation to make guy who's suffered an operation will certainly to retire and she could never have another that she wants a challenge to us she longs for that as much as i do believe that i have to decide how can i so young no more children all those years with better than this father waiting to decide between life and death how can i to our listeners you have to sign to really haven't just a huge collection of promises it should define what is it it's why
the new sanction don't have to tell you something and that would risk losing you rather than teams have the best option just testing the patient situation is the same i decided not to you do understand the risk you said there was a chance chance yes and the bank must have wondered if you do about that i just don't think that in any case she could never have another one come absolutely sure that's most unlikely we respect your service ocean through it
to the new india is no need one key issue sure sharon which her in ways that just don't want to a larger circle of close or you know it's over oh i mean that the chinese born and your wife is alive i congratulate you to touch and go because they both do very well just like if you have a daughter to this boy would have killed her they didn't know when to receive him
my father's time when the islamic state filmmaker with an easy line or a provision that has been well launching the fact that we're going to return to a long time so that's all that the meanest of foresight a long time they are my boy whose thoughts and he just before you worry about something you've got to worry about you have a glass of lions wolves
as britain has been devoted to the patients but it's been a crime what's been because by soldiers bush both hoosier ears
be good news sebastian sun brothers because both a song
sones he has unusual like laying out the disney want to see he's trying the emotional is that from red farm that i mean that is not just as soon there's no hurry goodness let him because better education is big tsarnaev is no one has been waiting for his body is broken yes so
i do feel safe there would be no more children's book too and get sometimes they drop like a stronger going to want to see that they did is cause they're much is he said that the us the petite the purse
because because because his mother has been as beaker with this is be
please yes the piece behind the scenes a series of conversations filmed the london between james day president of national educational television and some of the people associated in the production of the forsyth side here in london we are coping with a reporter who has sown forsyth is the central character and the saga with the border guards when of course created the character of songs in the first novel the man a property songs one of the men the property there was many years before he picked up a foot
of the story and the second novel that just sends this gap in time and insight between the first and the second novel because the character doesn't change in the later novel as people change and this is the job an apartment serves forsyth work because of the richness the wrongness of the character rey starts on one level and then slowly becomes more mature doesn't it does become a little bit of become radicalized they chose to the extent of becoming a really sympathetic person and when his daughter is born one season really fulfilling one of these parts of his ambition he wanted the child basically what the sun with a lot of the child anyway and of his love and goes on this and you so badly want to know people change and i think that because
within away projected himself into the begin with joe and then i think after the gap here other storms of a sudden i felt this very strongly and that this did this does come eventually comes back to the sort of rather more sympathetic way especially after a gentle yes i think age does this to people in general i remember one of his goals with a reporter no <unk> it's livable than one rather than them working for what kind of or described as a tired of the theatrical director younger he was right and i met him a few years later and he just sort of gone over the peak of the agent met him first when he was in a time then he went over the top of the peak and he was just softened by ag hadn't the fire i think is the cervix that happen in the city when he goes over into walk us the sixties late fifties
sixties he begins to lose the initials hard drive that a habit he then goes back he loves his pictures he loves his daughter adores his daughter would've preferred assad and this i think sort of common principles even well as he withdraws measles or withdrawn land that he withdraws into into himself in a much gentler way whether a particular time and so the life that gave they they perform a particular satisfaction over time samba like when you liked the rule that in another time oh that role because the us a was such an interesting one to me i think probably he asked the older sons is far more interesting person to play well because you'll remember you've got to see the joy of playing the city's burned cereal or cite is the fact that
you don't have to do the whole performance in one hour ramp you can to reset their one side of the characters in one episode the next person on the side of the car and another episode and you make some sort of computer and then you take all those different sides of the cactus and two it gets very rowdy picture that was about a pitcher so the actor who lives in the sun's oh yes indeed well you see we regret sort of two kinds of lives just internet thing like that one has gone for me normal life course and whenever you get into the familiar pose and minnesota supported for many people in the familiar pose of such you do to certain extent take on again that that life that was created because we took twelve months to make it so therefore we completed one episode so every fortnight we were progressing that much further than watch filling in the picture
in the theater you perform the same role night after night and many cases are no hacker can go when i got the role i suppose but in this there was a progression you knew that you were aging you performed with it was to be in it and has to add to this affect your performance as you toward the last of the series did you just hate to see it end oh no no i'm not confident not sentimental about some parts of the atlantic since the father was finished one drug and start of the next so i've never sort of yearning for the next one all long to be back in the old one but you know there was a general found with a new family feeling created amongst those were amongst as well in every episode especially amongst people like her mother ties it persisted in the case even with iranian area called because the antagonism that we haven't screened didn't exist not in one
shot after the turn towards the end the one in a way became really huge because the responsibility as it were of keeping up is tremendous and richard cordray has tremendous sort of concentration and desperately trying to get this thing right at the time i watched the showing on two occasions and i watch each episode of course some of the episodes and just for injecting or some parts of that i can now yes not vocally objected to be expandable not seeing myself as myself of course now i'm watching myself give the performance in an objective enough to be the criticism of reforms in the bits of course would like to go back and say oh please never do that again and other possible answers were those yes i still after two years or whatever it is i still see what i was trying to do and i think that manage to do a little bit pleased and very active and to that
last little success would you go back to television and russian television refer to subjects and racial tensions radio and television refugees left home the tenor player because what he tells him know that you travel from the midst of it it's never go for me in the meeting tune in at the same time next week for another episode in the continuing series before sites are there are no
