Joe: So, you're all set for the interview with Janet's Chinese friend?
Andy: Sure. We're meeting him tomorrow at midday.
Joe: And Janet, you're OK to give Andy a hand?
Janet: Yes. Thank you very much for giving me another chance after last week.
Joe: Just remind me ... why are we interviewing this guy?
Andy: It's part of our background series to ethnic restaurants in London. We did Indian last month.
Joe: OK, well, just remember that there's no such thing as a free lunch! Now, anything else we need to do for next week's guide?
Andy: We've got the upcoming London Video Games Festival in Trafalgar Square.
Joe: Video games? In Trafalgar Square?
Andy: Yes, about 100,000 people attended last year.
Janet: But how did they do that outdoors?
Andy: Well, they put up a huge tent, and there were demos of the latest game software to try out.
Janet: Is that the kind of event that we usually cover on London Time Off?
Andy: Sure, why not? It's very popular. Remember our slogan: the essential guide to going out and staying in.
Joe: Let's plan something for that. And can we try to think about something which will go with it? You know, something along the lines of how ways of getting music and TV into our homes have changed.
Andy: You mean, like people downloading music instead of buying CDs?
Joe: Yes, or on how many people check out the music on YouTube first! That all sounds very promising. Maybe we can run a feature on traditional entertainment and new technology. Look, I'll let you get on with the rest of the planning and we'll speak after lunch.
Janet: Going back to technology and tradition ... why don't we do something on the rise of e-book readers?
Andy: That's a good idea. They're not really like books, are they? They're more like hand-held computers.
Janet: But the trouble is, every time I read a book on-screen, it hurts my eyes.
Andy: Yes, but the great thing about them is you'll never run out of things to read!
Janet: But there is nothing quite like a good old-fashioned book.
Andy: Maybe, but don't you read more words online than on paper? I'm sure I do.
Janet: Excuse me, I'd better check this.
Andy: And you read more text messages than anyone else!
Joe: Is someone using their mobile in here? Can't you understand the sign? I'm doing a recording in the other studio, and I'm picking up the electronic signal.
Janet: Oh, it's my fault. I should have realized ...
Andy: That serves you right!
Janet: Oh no, I keep making such a mess of things!
Andy: Just ignore him! It's no big deal. But what you're saying about e-readers, that's a good lead-in to a report on how new technology is changing so fast. It's good, smart thinking, Janet!
Janet: And I also messed up the recording with Toby Jenkins.
Andy: Forget about it, Janet! Anyone could have done that. Joe started the recording before I had time to adjust the level. It wasn't your fault. Anyway, somebody once said, technology doesn't run an enterprise, relationships do. Don't beat yourself up about it.
Janet: I suppose that's true. Well, I'll make sure I get it right next time.
