00:05And I hear your band doing the same job.
00:08This is Mona, you're from Nui.
00:10Very nice to meet you.
00:12I fear I've never managed to get to Nui.
00:14No, we were hoping that you would when you came to Chokyo.
00:17But it is what it is.
00:19But anyway, I'm like...
00:20I will keep trying.
00:21Yes, that will be lovely.
00:22We heard that you love honey in your teeth.
00:25So we come all the way from...
00:26How did you hear that?
00:28In one stage we did.
00:30So we have started a bee sanctuary for the Pacific.
00:33We have bees from Nui.
00:35So this is a gift for you from the Nui people.
00:38I'm going to keep it.
00:40I'm going to keep it for me.
00:42Remember we had a marvellous lady named Barbara Carfield.
00:45She always said a spoonful of honey a day makes you warm and lovable.
00:48Do you remember that?
00:49I don't think I want to go there.
00:51No, no, no.

00:56the 150 soldiers that came from Nui to join World War I.
01:03So here's a commemoration of Britain.

01:09How wonderful.
01:11After you, Alphonse.
01:12Go on.
01:13Go on.
01:14So many of them are fancied up by Mercurian Alphonse.
01:19Someone's been trying to mobilise the pharmaceutical sector to recognise that this is in their interest
01:25to help preserve and expand and restore our diversity.
01:31This is a much more positive one for you.
01:34And actually a real favourite with the public.
01:37We've got a manatee, mother and calf.
01:40And I think the expression on the calf's face and the little kind of bubbles of air as it moves its flippers.
01:46You don't have to not talk.
01:59Yes, we can.
02:05Thank you very much.
02:35Thank you very much.
03:41Thank you for having us.
03:51Thank you very much.
03:55Thank you very much.
03:57Yes, we are.
