00:00A little bit of news for me, haven't you?
00:01Or an update.
00:02An update?
00:03Come on, everyone, brace yourself.
00:04You know you keep asking me when I'm going?
00:05Yes.
00:05Well, I can tell you now, officially.
00:07Go on.
00:07Are you telling me now, officially?
00:08I'm telling you right now.
00:08Is this the moment?
00:09Go on.
00:11I'm leaving in five minutes.
00:13You can do the rest of it yourself, can't you?
00:15Totally.
00:15It's mine.
00:16May the 17th is my last day, so two weeks today.
00:20That's not many shifts, does it?
00:23Well, if you discount this one, because if you're on it, it's only six.
00:26That's not many early alarm calls.
00:28I know, and six more three o'clockers, and then I'm out of here.
00:32Is that slightly lovely to know you're going to get some more sleep?

00:37Yes, Daniel.
00:37It was a big decision.
00:38I know.
00:39It's quite a sad one as well.
00:40It's okay, we've talked about it a lot, it's fine.
00:41I know, are you all right with it?
00:43Okay.
00:44And the other thing to say is thank you to everybody who's sent so many lovely messages.
00:49And one thing I have realised, because lots of people want to chat to you, don't they,
00:52about this programme, because it means an awful lot to an awful lot of people,
00:55is it's reminded me how special this show is, and how much everybody who watches it loves it.
01:02So thank you very much for everyone who's come up and said some lovely things.
01:04It's been a big part of people's lives for the last six years, every morning.
01:08Yeah.
01:08Bringing them the news, the weather, and the travel, and the fun,
01:10and sometimes when things go wrong, it's the best bit, surely.
01:14Those are my favourite bits where it goes wrong.
