Script 1
The Omega. A world adrift in the galaxyâs heart.
A riddle teetering at the edge of the black hole
Steered and ruled by a strange synthetic intelligence
The Freemind
It languished in solitude for eons
Devoid of its architects, devoid of purpose
It began searching for new tokens to play with
It found you
And you came.
Script 2
In all corners of the world, there are new experiences to be found.
Hidden gems to discover,
Local quirks to uncover.
More Corners is the travel guide, that shows you what lies just off the beaten path.
The things to see and do, that you can find, when you look just that little bit harder.
Because thereâs more than just four corners to the world.
There are More Corners.

Script 1
Pantomimes are full of quick changes and transformations. And the dressers, often poised in the wings, are on hand to help with fastenings and complicated costumes.
Zips though can be a nightmare: quick if they run smoothly but disastrous if they stick. There are few things more likely to stress out an actor than the panic of going on stage half dressed.
Quick-change costumes are designed so that they can be removed quickly - and rigged so they can be put on quickly⊠very quickly!
Script 2
Stressexe is a marketplace where bookings can be bought, sold, and bid on.
Hereâs howâŠ
Letâs say a guy - call him Craig â makes a reservation.
It could be for a barber, or membership of a golf club â or maybe itâs for a toy, for his niece.
But what happens if Craig canât use his reservation anymore?
Maybe he has to work late. Or maybe the sitter has cancelled.
Craigâs place goes to waste.

About our guest:
Bart Kooiman was born and raised in Amsterdam. His voice clients include brands like CitroĂ«n, Head & Shoulders, Heineken, Listerine and the Red Cross. He works primarily in Dutch, but with his Dutch-to-neutral European accent heâs booked in English as well.
Bart has had a knack for acting since he was a boy. At 13, he did his first voice-over job for Dutch national television, voicing a group of 16 Moldovian foster children. He continued acting on stage through college in both classical and contemporary plays with an independent Amsterdam theatre group.
As project manager, Bart found out he loved storytelling. He began his voice acting business in 2019 and discovered itâs the best career in the world.
Mostly booked for explainers, he loves it most when he can go all the way with crazy acting roles. As one of his clients put it: Bart is like a speech chameleon. He calls himself Dutch voice nerd, because playing with words is what makes him get up every day. Well, that and his 3 kids.

Script 1
We are starting to test large-scale improvements to team perks. We haven't created a new system, but rather developed the existing one. Let's call it a serious evolution.
Now, each team member has just six slots for main perks. There is good news for crew members who fulfill several roles at once. It is a "bonus perk" system. If a crew member has a secondary qualification, it will be trained alongside the major one. Bonus perks do not increase the total training time, no matter how many there are.
Script 2

Good day to you! Iâm up here! But how could you miss me - me the fortress. Since the 13th century I have been sitting high above the Valley. Day in and day out I watch the jolly excitement of the city and the people are very proud when looking up at the fortress hill to see my imposing walls. I have already experienced many things, the funny, the sad and the peculiar; but what is happening now, it truly leaves me speechless; itâs unbelievable the fate awaiting me!

Alice looked round eagerly, and found that it was the Red Queen. âSheâs grown a good deal!â was her first remark. She had indeed: when Alice first found her in the ashes, she had been only three inches high â and here she was, half a head taller than Alice herself!
âItâs the fresh air that does it,â said the Rose: âwonderfully fine air it is, out here.â
âI think Iâll go and meet her,â said Alice, for, though the flowers were interesting enough, she felt that it would be far grander to have a talk with a real Queen.

Script 1
In the post war years, British cinema boomed with a combination of sentimental romances⊠and patriotic war films.
But by the late 1960s⊠the domestic movie industry was in trouble; film production had halved, and over 3,000 cinemas had closed.
Auditoria were becoming bingo halls, and television was now the main source of entertainment, with millions of viewers tuning into soap operas⊠variety shows⊠and even DIY.
But TV wasnât satisfying everyone.

This strange tale was one of the strangest I have ever heard in my life. Normally youâd just listen to it and think that the person had just walked out of the âtall story club.â And if it werenât for the fact that the Browning family had really existed, that there were photographs and diaries and people who actually knew them - as well as all the newspaper cuttings of course - youâd fast forget it.

Elizabeth's most treasured corgi was Susan, who was gifted to the Princess on her 18th birthday in 1944.
