00:00 I think I've been fretting, worrying too much about tonight's launch.

00:04 I had the weirdest panic dream last night, I really did,

00:08 in which you were four times the number and you were all in our sitting room.

00:13 [laughter]

00:15 And I looked out the window and there was a queue snaking back.

00:19 And I said, "Please, can you spread in the garden or go upstairs or at least go home?"

00:25 And then, in true fashion of a panic dream, I looked down and I was in my pyjamas.

00:30 So I can't tell you what a relief it is to be properly dressed.

00:34 In your pyjamas.

00:36 No, properly dressed and actually here.

00:39 Because tonight is such an important night for the Festival.

00:43 Tonight is the night that we unveil our programme.

00:46 Now it's been a long time in preparation, but tonight we can actually say,

00:50 "I have a piece of paper in my hand, here it is, and it's packed full of brilliant things."
