00:07The thing that's been talked about from the start of me doing this and that I'm very much
00:12on board with is that we want to keep it celebratory and generous and we're not into, it won't
00:18be, you know, there are some wonderful famous examples of course of people making terribly
00:26near the knuckle comments and some very funny things that we've all enjoyed in previous
00:31awards ceremonies. That's not probably my style anyway and I know that's not what BAFTA
00:37are going for so we want to have an evening that's a celebration and that won't make people
00:44feel uncomfortable and that won't have people being roasted in any way so that's, it will
00:49hopefully be an evening of generosity and joy and love for this industry that is, you know,
00:56one of the great success stories of this country, you know, we're very good at the arts and
01:00there's lots of things that we struggle with but the arts is something that remains one
01:07of Britain's greatest exports so let's celebrate it and enjoy that and trumpet it to the world.
