02:02We're stockin' up to make it short

02:04Nothin' comes to waste

02:06We're travelin' for tomorrow

02:08I have seven days of racing

02:10It's one life, it's big

02:12Only life for me

02:14Once you taste it, you won't believe

02:17Once you taste it, it's all you'll need

02:34We're certain of it's ages

02:36Since 1965

02:38Way before the internet

02:40Before you could come alive

02:42But when we think the fight was set

02:44I don't know if we learned

02:45How to start a group car

02:47Takein' on the world

02:50Once you taste it, you won't believe

02:54Once you taste it, it's all we'll need

02:57It's Sunday night, we're gonna live like we

03:01Like, like, like, like, like, like, like

03:36Yeah!

03:41Good job, boys!

03:48Hello? Ah, we're here, we're live

03:51Thank you much, everybody. Would you like the song?

03:54Spud Bros? Yeah, the greatest spuds on earth

03:57Who said no, then?

03:59Listen, Preston, we love you

04:01Thank you very much for turning up

04:03To unveil the new Spud Bros Hot Potato Tram

04:07Who'd have thought that back in 1955

04:11When Ernie Rhodes had his little cart up here in the corner

04:15Selling his little jacket, little new potatoes

04:19And his parched peas, that we'd be here today

04:22Nearly 70 years later

04:24With thousands of Prestonians just celebrating it with us

04:28Absolutely brilliant, we love you guys

04:31This is a Preston thing

04:33If you're from Preston, you know what parched peas are

04:35You know what new potatoes are

04:37And, you know, that's what we're all about

04:39I've just got a couple of thank yous

04:42Just want to thank Ant, Ellie, James

04:46And the team from WCP who have made this happen

04:49I mean, what do you think about the design?

04:51Do we like it? Yeah?

04:53Bigger cheer than that, do we like it? Come on!

04:56No? Who said no?

04:59Yeah, so thanks to WCP for making all this happen

05:03It's been absolutely brilliant

05:05I want to thank Jake and Harley

05:09Stan, Harvey, Nina

05:11And the team behind the scenes as well

05:14For putting up with me and all the bad temperedness

05:18And the arguments behind the scene

05:20But, there's two people here today

05:23Really special guests that have come

05:26And, you know, we're really honoured

05:29They are Preston legends

05:31And I don't say that lightly at all

05:34So this, we've got Keith Roberts

05:38And we've got Trish

05:40He is the original Spudman

05:42Who supplied his trade all those years ago

05:45And we've got Trish as well

05:47One little thing, I know a lot of you will know

05:51I always call him Keith Senior

05:53His son Keith Junior sadly passed away four years ago

05:57And I know a lot of you know Keith

05:59He was such a popular character

06:01And, you know, sort of through that adversity

06:05Keith, God bless his soul

06:07Gave us the opportunity to make this happen

06:12So, absolutely, thanks Keith for that, that's brilliant

06:15We've actually named this little hatch at the side

06:19We call this Keith's Pea Hatch

06:21So, you know, when you come to see us now

06:23In town on a Tuesday or through to a Saturday

06:26If you come round to this bit here

06:28You'll get your new potatoes and your parched peas

06:30So you're not having to queue up

06:31So, I would like to ask Keith and Trish

06:34To come and officially open the tram

06:36So can you give them a big round of applause

06:38And a big cheer for Keith and Trish

06:46Get in the middle, Keith

06:49Yeah, we're there, we're good

06:51Yeah, brilliant

06:53Let's hope it works

06:55Yeah, a big cheer everybody

06:58Brilliant, absolutely brilliant

07:00Right, so I think what we need to do now

07:03Is open this tram and we're ready for business

07:06There might be a little bit of a wait

07:08But, listen, 19.55 prices

07:11Jacket, potatoes, 30p

07:13Your fillings are 5p

07:15And I just want to say it's one portion per person

07:18So I don't want somebody coming up and ordering 10 portions

07:21So it's one per portion

07:23Okay, thank you very much

07:25And enjoy your spots today, thank you
