First 90 secondsMaisie Adam· Guest0:00
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 hold of. But Christopher Nolan, for example, is famously almost completely... He doesn't even have a mobile phone. I mean, you literally cannot get ahold of Christopher Nolan.
Maisie Adam· Guest0:25
He said he doesn't.
Richard Osman· Host0:26
He said of course he does. He's got a sneaky little mobile, hasn't he?
Maisie Adam· Guest0:27
Yeah.
Richard Osman· Host0:28
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?
Maisie Adam· Guest0:33
Who?
Richard Osman· Host0:33
Octopus Energy.
Maisie Adam· Guest0:34
Yes.
Richard Osman· Host0:35
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 30 or 40 years. You can actually reply to people.
Maisie Adam· Guest0:59
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.
