00:00It was a huge surprise to us that it was, you know, an international success.

00:04The first indication we have that this is not normal was when we went to America in 2012 to advertise the second series.

00:13And as part of the junket there, we were invited to the British ambassador's residence in Washington,

00:24And at 10 o'clock at night, we were whisked away from a private tour of the White House
