Jimbo was there. I didn't speak to him
Whilst he was in the UK he did speak to Simon Mayo on Five Live.
It's a long interview. 25 mins...
Mayo discusses how his children edited his entry. There's a

Google did this - extracting the closed-captions (American standard for
subtitles?) from selected US TV channels and indexing them along with
screengrabs of the video itself. Worked very well, although of course
you couldn't then go on to view the video unless you were in the States

Actually there's a really interesting internal trial running across our

across an audio stream (TV and Radio) then indexes it to the relevant
