There you are!
Do I know you?
No, but that's where you are. There.
Best results achieved with total strangers.

"Islam is here to stay? We are where we are? You can't turn back the clock?
No it isn't. Let's get out of it. It's a race against time."
But keep in mind that it's hard. It isn't a walk in the ballpark estimate.

Every listener to 'The Archers' knows that every entry by a character to a discussion, without the benefit of visual clues absent from the radio format, is always announced by another character saying 'Ah! There you are, Tom, or Jill or Peggy, etc.
Count the times, in each 15 minute episode. For baffled Americans, 'The Archers' is officially the longest-running radio serial in the world. I think it began about the time The Mayflower left Plymouth Harbour.
So that's where we are.

Ah yes, that must be it.
Either that or the actors are all 'Untutored hams!', as in Hancock's parting shot at his fellow cast members in the 'Bowmans' parody. Still on target now, which indicates how much that show has changed over the years.
