First 90 secondsMarina Hyde· Host0:00
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 Exactly.
Richard Osman· Host0:09
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 a 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 a hold of Christopher Nolan.
Marina Hyde· Host0:25
He says he doesn't.
Richard Osman· Host0:25
He says of course he does. He's got a sneaky little mobile, hasn't he?
Marina Hyde· Host0:27
Yeah.
Richard Osman· Host0:28
He's on WhatsApp groups, but, uh, he d- he doesn't want you to know that. Shall I tell you who's easy to get a hold of?

Richard Osman· Host0:33

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 30 or 40 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· Host1:07
I mean, that's amazing, right? [upbeat music] This episode is brought to you by easyJet. You must have had that moment when you're watching a film, but you completely tune out the plot and start daydreaming about the location instead.
Marina Hyde· Host1:22
The bright Mediterranean colors on screen suddenly make the British weather look even grayer.
Richard Osman· Host1:26
And sometimes it doesn't even take the Technicolor. Put on a black-and-white
