First 90 secondsMarina Hyde· Host0:01
The Rest is Entertainment is presented by Octopus Energy. Now, one of the stranger signs of status in show business is being very, very hard to reach.
Richard Osman· Host0:09
Exactly. You get to a certain level in the business where you don't want anyone to talk to you at all, and there are some people who are notoriously difficult to get hold of. So Christopher Nolan, for example, is famously almost completely... He doesn't even have a mobile phone. I mean, you literally cannot get hold of Christopher Nolan.
Marina Hyde· Host0:26
He says he doesn't.
Richard Osman· Host0:26
He says. Of course, he does. He's got a sneaky little mobile, hasn't he?
Marina Hyde· Host0:28
Yeah.
Richard Osman· Host0:29
He's on WhatsApp groups, but, uh, he, he doesn't want you to know that. Shall I tell you who's easy to get hold of?
Marina Hyde· Host0:34
Who?
Richard Osman· Host0:34
Octopus Energy.
Marina Hyde· Host0:35
Yes.
Richard Osman· Host0:36
So Octopus Energy, if, uh, you know the score, when one of your service providers writes to you, you've got a question for them or you're disputing something, you reply and it immediately says, "You cannot reply to this email." With Octopus Energy, any email they send you, you can reply to and it will go to your dedicated team, which to me feels like one of the greatest advancements I've heard of the last thirty or forty years. You can actually reply to people.
Marina Hyde· Host0:59
It's so simple, isn't it? Would it be possible to contact the people I'm paying my money to? Well, with Octopus Email, you can reply directly to your own dedicated small team.
Richard Osman· Host1:08
I mean, that's amazing, right?
Speaker 31:09
I sold my car on Carvana last night.
Speaker 41:12
Well, that's cool.
Speaker 31:13
No, you don't understand. It went perfectly. Real offer, down to the penny. They're picking it up tomorrow. Nothing went wrong.
Speaker 41:19
So wh- what's the problem?
Speaker 31:20
That is the problem. Nothing in my life goes this smoothly. I'm waiting for the catch.
Speaker 41:24
Maybe there's no catch.
Speaker 31:25
That's exactly what a catch would want me to think.
Speaker 41:28
[laughs] Wow, you need to relax.
Speaker 31:29
I need to
