00:00I think on the £5 bank note, I'd like to see Sue Pollard.

00:09On the £10 note, I'd like to see Dick Emery.

00:15And on the £20 note, maybe the King.

00:17I don't really think the bank notes need change, do they?

00:20I don't see the history of these.

00:21I only just noticed that...

00:23It's changed to the King.

00:24Yeah, and I was like, oh, OK.

00:25Every individual person, every single person here today, yourself,

00:31everyone's important.

00:33But putting someone's face on a bank note,

00:39He feels like some people work hard,

00:42but then nobody knows about them.

00:48that have worked hard.

00:50I would like William to be on one of them.

00:53Pick them and stick to them.
